Can Police Arrest You For Videotaping Them? Four Miami Friends Find Out the Hard Way

• Complete abuse of power as always by the police. They must be stopped by any means, or we as citizens will be lead to slaughter by these corrupt animals. Remember if ballots don't work bullets will. 6,000 Miami-Dade offices vs over 1 million citizens They cannot win, im sorry we have more firepower

• It is the duty of all citizens to monitor the police and public servants. The constitution says so. When police are allowed to operate in private without public scrutiny we are no longer a democracy.

• Since this people can not tape the police without their permission, this leads to the issue of the "red light cameras", squad car cameras, and "COPS". Also cameras in public places without the public's permission.

• These abusive pigs know they are doing wrong and don't want to get caught. This stroy is going viral and if these pigs aren't already regreting their improper behavior they will soon. Cops cannot act like jack booted nazi thugs and get away with it for very long. These pigs should be fined and terminated or sent to work traffic. Keep filming!!!

• Cops should not have the right to stop any filming anywhere in public or private if the property owner gave them the right too. They are PUBLIC servants who work FOR the people! Not some private gestapo unit. This is typical on where the cops are going. Anyone who enforces the law eventually thinks they are ABOVE the law.

• Who are you the gestapo? Get a clue jackass....pigs have no expectation of privacy you public servant. Serve the public, pig.

• recording cops in public is going pretty far, isn't it??? just like saddams secret police would hate for anyone to record their beatings and torturing.....

• just like the guy who recorded the cops who tortured rodney king must be a "worthless contribution to society??" you must be a nazi pig yourself.

• i'm sure the pigs in LA 1991 would have loved to have jailed the guy who recorded the pigs who beat up rodney king--just like saddams secret police!

• I hear that the father of one of these guys is a police officer. How proud he must be of such a worthless contribution to society.

• These guys are clearly just trying to see how far they can go.....hasnt worked out very well

• Ha, damn pigs hating on cameras. Don't be scared of you being filmed doing your job!

• What you have described is a baseline constitutional concept. As noted in the article, and as is the case, state laws permissibly refine and make broader this privacy concept.

• My understanding is that you can record anywhere where there is no expectation of privacy -- on the streets and South Beach you have no expectation of privacy. Not sure what the battle is about...
