This is more than a bit disturbing.
In 'Are Cameras The New Guns?', "...12 states in which all parties must consent for a recording to be legal unless, as with TV news crews, it is obvious to all that recording is underway. Since the police do not consent, the camera-wielder can be arrested. Most all-party-consent states also include an exception for recording in public places where "no expectation of privacy exists" ... but in practice this exception is not being recognized."
So basically, if you video a cop rescuing a dog or kissing a baby, that's OK. Body-slamming a bicyclist? Potential arrest and felony trial.
Not good.
