Oh Ted, in response to this comment you made, I'd like to read some case law to you :

"And for those of you who like to act intelligent by posting past legal findings in favor of recording police incidents, please post one that reads where non-compliance to the commands of the authority figure in question while video taping said authority figure, is acceptable and non-criminal."

City of Houston v. Hill 482 U.S. 451 (1987) United States Supreme Court

"The right of individuals verbally to oppose or challenge police action without thereby risking arrest is one of the principal characteristics by which we distinguish a free nation from a police state… "

The First Amendment recognizes, wisely we think, that a certain amount of expressive disorder not only is inevitable in a society committed to individual freedom, but must itself be protected if that freedom would survive.”

- Justice William J Brennan, Jr.

A tyrant will always find a pretext for his tyranny Ted!
