I don't know what the answer is here but I have sympathy with police trying to do their job with hostile bystanders recording their every move and uploading to to YouTube in edited contextless hatchet jobs intended to ridicule or undermine.
Of course there are bad cops where video has provided useful evidence of their behaviour but for ordinary professional police officers it must add a very unpleasant dimension to already stressful situations.
I don't know the law at all but I would hope that any liberal enabling of filming is constrained by dissemination that identifies individuals without very good reason.
- Daishiman 4y agoHow is recording hostile? If anything it's definitive proof that their job is being done accordingly or not. Of course, the reason this happens is because police in the US are just another group of organized thugs.
- mellosouls 4y agoThat was a prime example of the hostility.
- Daishiman 4y agoHostility is when police perform no-knock raids and end up killing innocent people, or shoot unarmed civilians, which happens pretty damn often in the US as seen by the death by cop statistics.
