Apparently it is ok to end up wiretapping by the government without a warrant, but the reverse risks you getting years of prison time:

HA HA China. So silly of them to go against the government.

Waiting on the... "But that ISN'T China, it is the United States" posts.

He should be rewarded instead.

Taping police officers shouldn't be a crime.

Though a lot of the "cut edits" used that you see on you tube should be though, under basic slander laws.

15 years is excessive though.

It's odd though that they didn't even bother to get the otherside of the story. Which is the law was enacted because gang members were bugging cops to get details of their investigation and to get personal information.

Or mention that there is an exception that allows you to record police when there is a reasonable expectation that they are going to do something illegal.  Though that's why you need to actually read more then one article on a subject rather then blindly believe the first youtube video/article you see.

As for the 75 years thing.  No doubt it's 15 years concurrent for each charge... and nevermind the fact that the maxiums never get handed out anyway.

LOL, why not a simple fine?

I'm sorry, but:

The entire concept of police laws & departments needs to be heavily reviewed and edited worldwide, things like this are absolutely ridiculous.

Cops are way too often given free leash to employ unnecesarry police brutality against people who've done nothing wrong, and now taping that is illegal?!

If they send this man to jail for any amount of time, even if it's 6 months, well that'd just be criminal.

No it isn't.  It's illegal to tape the police if they don't do such things and you have no reason to have suspision they will.

It was a law enacted by police in illnois because gang members were bugging the police to get case info and personal info from them.

And what if I see a police officer beating on a old lady for no reason, will it be ok then?

And in this person(s) case it seems obvious he was taping police being a little too enthuisiastic about using their force.

Sorry if I seem anti-police to you, I'm not, I just feel there need to be better regulations in place to stop such events from occuring, and if they do the officers need to be charged accordingly instead of getting of with a slap on the wrist simply because they are police.

Did you watch the video?  The reporters did try to get the other side of the story, but they weren't allow to be given an interview.  Watch the video.  It goes into details there on it.

The amount you go through here to try to backflip and stand in opposition to things I say, to try to think I am in the wrong is stunning. 

Why wouldn't I consider what is going on for nefarious reasons, those things I question, when you see what happened with Occupy Houston, for example.  Care to explain why the police drop a tent over protesters so they can't be filmed being arrested?

Considering what is going on, the fact I have issues with the wording of the NDAA, you would then go off and argue that it is fine, and American citizens will never get detained indefinitely, and I am also making that up.  Why do you do this?  You insist on being contrary for giggles?  Is all that is needed is to elect ANY Republican, except Ron Paul, and we will all live happily ever after?
