Ya can't have it both ways. I don't think this would pass muster in a court. There is nothing wrong with someone videotaping something in a public area. Now how they use that video tape, may be covered by different laws, but not the actual video taping.

Well, i do think the law against video taping cops is heavy handed, but on the other hand, there are far too many self important dillweeds who hate being told what to do and take video's that are out of context of what really happened.

The old saying, "The camera doesn't lie" is patently false in this day and age. What's kinda scary is that People believe videos and pictures without any hesitation or doubt as irrefutable truth, and yet all of it can be doctored and edited to portray just about anything, by anyone with the software and motivation.
