There is a disturbing story http://www.nashuatelegraph.com/apps/...WS01/106290121
where a citizen's camera caught police harassing him and when he took the tape to the police station to show what happened, was jailed on felony charges ... hmmm 
I don't want to turn this thread into a political debate, just wanted to point out possible hazards of taping and also to find out if anyone has any substantive info on its legalities.
In looking thru the RSAs referenced in the article, it seems to me the only thing that is against the law is the audio portion of recording, not ( YET) the video portion. Anyone with experiences, info? |
I can understand where the law comes from but in this case I have to wonder. First there were signs in place so my guess is a good attorney would make a case for informed consent. Secondly I wonder how the news crews are able to do what they do if the audio portion is deemed unlawful. I'm willing to bet they don't get signed permission from the people who say "Get that camera out of my face".
