Thats ok, I am jacked and usually roid out on the weekends now, I will just whoop his ass, and make him eat the tickets. That will make him wish his camera was on.
IMO, the most disturbing thing about the law is it seemed to be purely in place to provide police officers a legal conduit to go after people afterwards when they decided that whatever is being taped have the “potential” to become evidences that demonstrate police wrong doing in whatever fashion.
The issue is, the person who caught those acts on video might not be doing it intentionally, like when you are taping a parade and a police happened to be cuffing a guy in the background. If someone decides to take legal action against that police using your video as evidence, you betcha you will hear from them due to this law, even taping him/her in the act was never your intention.
Thats no different than me having my video camera in my car, recording my driving… then accidently capturing me getting pulled over and what ever happens from there. I was intending on capturing my driving, so so happens I got pulled over and clubed for no reason too.
In both cases one side has to prove they video guy wasnt really trying to capture the cop doing shit, the other side trys to realllllly make it look like the guy with the video tape at the parade was intentionally video taping the arrest.
