In some states in the U.S. it's illegal to film a cop, even while off duty. Think about that.

If its in public you can film anyone. If you cant, that state is in direct violation of the first amendment.

Tell that to Massachusets, Illinois, Maryland, and some other states where both parties must consent to it.

Ill have to look into this when i have time.
If they can film you on every street corner and from dash cams you have that same right to do it right back. If that is the state law and i lived there i would be in court allot. Winning my cases as well.

Well, since they made it a law in those states, you wouldn't be winning too many cases...High powered lawyers or not. This doesn't mean I don't think it's a violation of the Constitution as well.

If you take it to the supreme court you would win.
If not, people would need to riot and destroy all the street cameras and dash cameras and security camera and all the cameras that film you out in public.

They'll get you with 'illegal electronic surveillance.' I don't know if anyone has taken a case to the supreme court yet or not but I'd be interested as to the outcome. I'm not going to smash a black and white's dashboard cameras because of this though, but if you're first, I might think about it.

Technically (if I remember correctly) both parties have to consent to having their voice recorded. That often falls into video taping since you're voice is also recorded. There was a recent story about some bitch taping the cops pulling over some dude and she got thrown in jail because she taped the cops. It wasn't overturned in court because she also recorded their voice.

Yeah this is what i was thinking too but, its the wiretapping law you are referring to which has been abused by police who are corrupt and obviously there for don't appreciate being videotaped.
They abused and tweaked this law in their favor in those cases where the cops are crooked in the first place takin people to jail for video tapping stating its violation of wiretapping law which is complete bullshit because that is for well... wiretapping a phone.

every case that has headed for the supreme court, to challenge the consitutionality of the patriot act, has been dismissed prior to reaching the supreme court, that is how they keep unconstitutional laws on the books, just dont prosecute the people who can afford to fight it.

there is also a part of the patriot act which, allows the FBI to enter your home, search and question you with a self written warrant, and if you tell anyone what happened, you go to federal prison. no joke, The US government (if it suspects you of being a "terrorist") can arrest you and hold you ideffinately without trial,

On May 26, 2011, President Barack Obama signed a four-year extension of three key provisions in the USA PATRIOT Act: [2] roving wiretaps, searches of business records (the "library records provision"), and conducting surveillance of "lone wolves" — individuals suspected of terrorist-related activities not linked to terrorist groups.[3]

do you live in Canada? i do. i can legally buy a handgun if i want, but i need my restricted gun liscence, and its only legal if im gonna be driving over to the shooting range with my gun in its case. so yeah, in general, the united states may have more 'allowing' gun laws, but in the end, who's to say canada isn't safer?
i dont want to get in a fight with a guy that's drunk and carrying a gun! in canada, all the self defence i need is knowing, that if someone breaks into my house, ill be able to point my .45 at this jackasses face! see in the states your used to getting shot from being in the wrong neighborhood.. i don't see how thats good.

lol, first of all i dont mean ANY disrespect,
but i didn't mean that, obviously.. the way i see it (very hard to explain, sorry if you don't understand) is that everything balances its self out (well, to a certain point) so that if they were to make having possesion of a gun illegal (which obviously is unrealistic to think about) you wouldnt NEED a gun to protect yourself (agian, to a certain extent) BALANCE is what i mean. so that, saying its shitty to not have a handgun on you all the time in canada, won't have me agreeing with you (or other canadians) because nobody is used to that around here.
personally, though, i say fuck the government, lets find a loophole!

guns make a place more safe. I live near neighbors who you can hear start to shoot their guns off, when im outside shooting mine off. I find that comforting to hear.
