I propose an annual photograph-a-cop day.

Cell Phone Picture Called Obstruction Of Justice
Man charged after videotaping police

WTF?

maybe there were undercover officers and they didn't want their cover blown or something?

I'm not sure that would be a valid excuse if it were happening in public anyway, but from the first article:

Cruz said that when he heard a commotion, he walked out of his back door with his cell phone to see what was happening. He said that when he saw the street lined with police cars, he decided to take a picture of the scene.

In the second article, there is nothing to indicate a concern about blowing the cover of undercover officers.

i dunno, it was just an idea.

or maybe not cops but the suspects?

then how did a cop see him take the pic?

Excuse me, but that's bullsh!t through and though.. What? Too many dirty cops been busted by home video for using excessive force that now they need a law to protect their punk asses? What's next, the Iron Curtain? :|

you just know they'll be the 1st ones calling the cops when they need help though.

Don't get me started on Philly cops.. some of them do a good job but unfortunately the bad/moronic ones like this guy give them all a bad name.

I'm not a cop hater by any means. But I am a firm believer in transparency and accountability in government. And this is a serious affront to those concepts.

Hey, I'm in favor of it. No one should be immune to having their public actions recorded.
