Lots of incidents like that happening lately. It's fucking nuts. Lots of cops who think they have the right to take down anyone that points a video camera at them.
They refuse to be held accountable for their actions.

i believe you are mistaken. its perfectly legal to video tape cops. they will often give you a hard time but if you know your shit, they know they don't have a leg to stand on. they don't like people knowing this though and will often try to strong arm you from taping but its totally in your legal right to do so.
