#Record #Police #knowyourrights
When can you NOT record a police officer? The biggest reason is if you’re in a state that requires both parties be aware they’re being recorded. The biggest states with these laws are California, Washington state, Michigan, and Nevada (but there are more!). It doesn’t hurt to try to let a police officer know you’re recording and see if they object to it.
Also, there are nuances to these laws, such as if the recorder believes a crime is taking place. If I were you, I would look up if your state has dual consent laws and their nuances so you’re aware.
criminal lawyer , You CAN’T Record the Police!? 👮🤳 #knowyourrights, attorney reacts,body cam footage,constitutional rights,cops,know your rights,lawyer reacts,police interactions,police officer,record the cops,record the police
It's 4th amendment, u can record whoever whenever in public or on your private property
That is true for none active government officials so if a police officer is in uniform and on the clock no two party state allowed the federal government as in supreme federal court has deemed that government officials will they are active cat use the two party state clase
Read Glik v Cunniffe 655 F.3d 78 (1st Cir. 2011).
the rodney king incident put the fear of god into cops of citizens with a camera
Not if you post it online
STATES wants and wishes does not superseded federal law
So in those 12 states how can the police record people on bodycam without their consent?
We all know now cops lie.
Recording police is legal all the time in public.
No no No no No….I only record to PROTECT myself from the POLICE that are CORRUPT…. We have good ones and other ones that aren't.
Always film the police! Rodney King is a great example. How many times have cops been caught behaving badly on camera when they thought they were doing something in private?
Just say “I’m recording and by talking to me you need to understand you are being recorded.” In Md this is called “implied consent” even though we have a 2 party consent state because if you choose to continue to engage with a party that told you they’re recording then you are consenting to being recorded even if you verbally say you don’t consent.
On top of the Supreme Court's decision..
I don't need consent on private property
So if I don't want to be on body camera in one of those 12 states or on a camera out on a street I can object !? 😜
What if one doesn't consent to being recorded on police body cam in a two party consent state?
In ca an the exception is if you believe someone is going to commit a crime
In a two party consent state and you're dealing with a cop that doesn't want to be recorded, the cop can just leave if he doesn't like it. Problem solved.
Wire tap laws do not apply to Public Officials in the Course of their duties.
Not if the policeman is acting in his official capacity. HE IS RECORDING YOU !
There’s no expectation of privacy in public, so non of this is applicable to filming in public. Did this guy get his law degree from a crackerjack box?
So when you call the police in those states or being interigated is their video thrown out of evidence no so your video cant either you have a right to film the police its matters of public intrest protected by the 1st amendment
Where do we find these list of states for two party consent?
It shouldn't matter if police know that you are recording. The officers themselves should be recording, and by extension, they know at least one recording is happening.
I thought I was going to hate having Big Brother watching, but I am loving it!! About time the police were held accountable!!
Soooo is there a list of these states ???
Hawaii did it because of officer spiker 😉
The most important aspect of this is that the accidental event cannot be penalised by expulsion. "My phone was recording accidentally." Unless there is an admission and "accidental event" is very hard to expel.
NC is a 1 party state…fyi
Why not record the cops?? They already should have a body cam. What’s wrong with a different angle ?
DEFUND THE POLICE AND TAKE AWAY ALL AMUNITY FROM THEM..
Some places in California protect the police more then the Citizens…which is wrong..
Yes, if they refuse to be filmed, they are bad cops, hiding something, like their temper and abuse
How about sanjose CA??
Don't care if they have consent or not, if they're in public I can record. Ohio is one party consent, usually the one recording.
Stop breaking Laws, mind your business, and go home.
Record then post on social media
I thought we have the RIGHT to record public servants in the course of their duties? That should override the 2 party consent law.
But posting that video can cause public outrage…useless in court maybe but, effective when cops act bad.
Sounds like the two-party states are as corrupt as the gangs calling themselves "law enforcement."
He slipped in "in private". 99.9% of people record openly anyway
You are incorrect. As ruled by the Supreme court, police have no expectation of privacy while acting in the line of duty. They can be recorded by anybody and there is nothing they can legally do about it. There is nowhere they have an expectation of privacy while doing their job.
What if you tell the police officer that you do not consent to his body camera recording while in one of those 12 states?
