I have absolutely no opinion on the shooting. I wasn't there and I don't know the circumstances. However, going after someone filming is a blatant violation of everything America stands for. THAT was tampering with evidence, illegal search and seizure, violation of due process, and a violation of the first amendment's protection of free speech. Free speech, you ask? This is akin to confiscating a printing press.... or shutting down a radio station. What if the cop removed and destroyed the dash-cam video? No different. Cops are good. They do a hard job and are in danger's way every day. This cop is bad. But what scares me is the current trend. This is now the third or fourth national case where the law is trying to criminalize the filming of police. Can you imagine? If the ACLU needs my help chasing a cause, here it is. Let us not forget that the bill of rights are the People's protection from government ..... not from anti-hunters, not from school bullies, not from crazy zealots......
