This really isn't news. Most jurisdictions actively don't want citizens recording cops. This is a good point. The cops use 1st amendment loophole to film people with CC tv, though. It seems a bit ironic the "thug out" to intimidate people from filming <them>, which is generally legal on the same grounds. But I agree that this is a practice seems widespread. Almosts like legal intimidation a "best practice" taught in law enforcement circles.
