I agree with you that this is shameful.

Thank you. The corruption in governmental corruption breaks my heart.

First, it appears the dog killed him, although, I am not watching the video, as I don't like that channel.
Second, there are laws in some states about filming police officers, so, no, it is not a right. Why do you think it is?

Regardless, I am not sure how I feel on the subject. On one hand, keeping them in check is a good thing; however, it can compromise investigations and amateur video is rarely the whole story.

You're 15 years old, I doubt you have a badge.

No. But I will in a few years time.

I can't tell what's going on, but I think you're wrong about filming the police. It's a right in every state as far as I know, and just generally a good ideal, even if they are wearing body cams, the reason being is that a lot of times, body cam footage isn't released to the public.

Police filming themselves =/= public filming them.
As I've said, it can compromise an investigation, and if it is a right, then I can use that footage as I want, like posting it on youtube or facebook.

That's what I don't get. How in the world could it possibly compromise an investigation? When they hold back film, it just feels like a cover up to me. I've contacted a few police departments requesting footage, they supposedly had, on these types of events which they don't release, and I'venever gotten a single straight answer as to how it would compromise an investigation.

Even the police don't seem to buy that crap in a lot of situations. They seem to feel just as betrayed as the public when the chief or media relations, say no comment in regard to these "ongoing investigations", into police brutality.

1. Details that are not to be released may be overheard and, thus, released. (e.g. a serial killer leaves a calling card)
2. Officer's faces are filmed which could cause problems if they, at a later date, go undercover.
3. Vigilante justice (or criminal intent) can result if a suspect's information is known prematurely.
4. If the suspect is a minor, it is wholly illegal to be "reporting" information that identifies them specifically.
How's that off the top of my head?
There are reasons cameras are not allowed in courtrooms, and those reasons would logically extend to police at crime scenes.

Even the police don't seem to buy that crap in a lot of situations. They seem to feel just as betrayed as the public when the chief or media relations, say no comment in regard to these "ongoing investigations", into police brutality.

Or they don't understand.
Do you know how many times police have told me there is no exception to the seatbelt law, even though there are seven listed in the law explicitly?
