LOL pls go. His first amendment rights don't give him the right to hamper their investigation. Must follow all lawful police orders. He thought his first amendment rights took precedent over their investigation, and furthermore after given an order from the police to stop his activities. Certainly seemed like he thought the first was unlimited

Ok - first the police said it was not a lawful order so what evidence do you provide that it was lawful that counters the police statement that it was not? Second thinking your first amendment rights take precedent over an investigation is no where close to the same as unlimited

You cannot just disobey a police officer.

As others have mentioned you just follow the orders of the police even when the order is not lawful - just as it was not a lawful order in the situation we are discussing?

I disagree.

It's distracting and annoying. They have a high stress job and some yahoo standing around filming them just adds to that stress.

I personally don't like having anyone look over my shoulder while I use my PC

So what? I say tough dung, they work for us. If they don't like it get another job.

Ever been in in a secure area doing work where they watch what you are doing 100% of the time? Its sucks but hey they are paying me to do the work.

Hell, the cashier at your local grocery store is on camera their entire shift. I don't see them complaining about it.

You put away the camera as directed by the officer, and you take that up in a court of law, if you believe you are right. You cannot just disobey a police officer.

believe you are right? how about "you are right" as ruled by numerous courts?
