Anthony J. Graber was (and likely still is) an idiot for videoing his motorcycle runs where he speeds and drives recklessly.
But, according to a judge, he is not a criminal for making or posting the video.
Police charged him with an unconstitutional "wiretap" law that claims we have no right to record what the cops do in a public setting and the judge decided they have no right to privacy in a public traffic stop.
I support the right of the police to record us and use the video evidence in court (no matter how pissed I might be if it catches me in violation of the law), but I believe we have the reciprocal right to present our side.
My main reason for this is that there are too many cases where a cop wins in court because the judge will side with them over us.
I am also sick and tired of seeing lowlifes on TV claiming they or their relatives/friends are innocent and the cops were the bad guys because there is no video to show the cops had every right to beat/stun/shoot the person they are defending.
Video doesn't lie.
