Cops On Camera

Video from the Cato Institute:



I couldn't agree more that LEO's should wear helmet-mounted or otherwise mounted cameras at all times while on duty. It will help keep everybody honest.

X2. I saw this a while ago. I agree.

I think all LEO's should wear cameras.

Maryland judge throws out wiretapping charges against Anthony Graber.

Judge Emory A Pitt Jr. tossed all the charges filed against Anthony Graber, leaving only speeding and other traffic violations, and most likely sparing him a trial that had been scheduled for Oct. 12. The judge ruled that Maryland’s wire tap law allows recording of both voice and sound in areas where privacy cannot be expected. He ruled that a police officer on a traffic stop has no expectation of privacy.

“Those of us who are public officials and are entrusted with the power of the state are ultimately accountable to the public,” the judge wrote. “When we exercise that power in public fora, we should not expect our actions to be shielded from public observation.”
