They hate it when you record them

Here's a story of some New York City cops showing their kinship with Portland's finest. Of course, in Portland there would have also been some beating involved.

Yeah, in Portland the cops would turned their Charleston into break dancing, as in bone break....

They only arrested them after the recording started. These cops are the last gasp resisting people's right to record (audio or video). Cams are becoming ubiquitous. Cops can not avoid them, and it real, really pisses them off that they might have to be held accountable for their actions. Bummer, dude.

It's still illegal to record them right? That's one of the most idiotic laws ever.

Many courts have ruled and the cops KNOW THESE RULINGS, by many jurisdictions, video of a cop in the performance of his duty is not a violation. The cops that ignore these rights may in fact have the cities paying out bigger and bigger claims. No interference to merely record the events of cops they are in public view. But, then again you may be arrested and put through some paces and threatened.

And so it goes
