The problem is if your rights are being violated by an officer, that officer is probably within eight feet of you. It's bullshit that you're not permitted to record your rights being violated.



According to the article, the ban only applies when the officer is interacting with someone other than yourself.


The officer that just took your phone from you? Or handcuffed you? That officer?

Or one of the other officers standing around in any of the other 359 degrees where your phone isn't pointing?

There is just no way to make any of their excuses actually hold water.


Then the law isn’t necessary because officers already have lawful authority to enforce a “reasonable” safety boundary.
