I have a challenge for GLP:


Tell me one valid reason why a civilian taping their own traffic stop is a threat to the police. If I am taping my stop and do something wrong, it is more evidence for the cop to use against me in court. Tapes do not lie, its the beauty of video surveillance. It is just watching a unbiased view of the event. Therefore, I can think of no reason other than to hide police misconduct. They swore an oath to follow the law. They have a lot of power. Think they are the only people that can legally lock you up. If anyone else puts you in a car against your will, that is kidnapping with a 25 year prison sentence. That is a shit ton of unchecked power for a 23 year old kid with a big ego to have.
