    We finally find some common ground in the political spectrum. When our LEO's cannot be filmed without permission we are one step away from not being able to question what they are doing either.

    it's not illegal to do it in tennessee, but if a cop wants to arrest you for being near them because they think you are some kind of threat then they can do it... cops can do many thing that they think interferes with their work, they have so much power. some cops are just assholes, he shouldn't have been arrested for filming

    You need to look into the "National Security Letter", we crossed the threshold long ago when congress rushed to pass the so-called "Patriot Act", that virtually none of them read, that virtually nullified all your rights under the constitution. The only reason we still have the freedom we do is social inertia. Hopefully, people will start challenging, and maybe we'll start returning toward freedom.l

    +1 You put it very well. To be honest, I find it hard to believe that anyone would support a law like this. It's just creepy.

    i work in law enforcement and to tell you there is waaaay more people against the law than there is for it. make sure before you guys think that we are bad to realize where we stand. we have to have a mind set that everyone is a threat. why do you think so many officers get killed each year. the rights of officers is dwindling down to nothing. the criminals have all the rights and with these comments posted gives them thier rights. just think what it would be like if the criminals ran rampant, well worse than they do now. you dont know what its like unless you get out there and do it. or atleast go to some ride alongs and witness for yourself. then come back and repost your thoughts.

    I am in law enforcement as well, I am a Sergeant and have 11 years on the job. Unfortunately the media only portrays one side of the story for all they report. It is good for their ratings. That goes for everything the report, not just law enforcement. There is obviously more to the posted story, but that takes away the steam and thus doesnt help with ratings. There are bad eggs in law enforcement like every other profession, fortunately it doesnt even make up 1 percent out of the 700,000 plus police officers in the United States. Great police officers work hard everyday, do the right thing and lead by example. Unfortunately the media only likes to report the stories where one jackass decides to tarnish the badge and the good officers are left with a negative perception.

    Additional thought on the National Security Letter, you may be thinking "Well, in rare cases something like this may be necessary". Over 50,000 letters have been issued, and I believe that was just last year!
