Had I not seen this I would have never believed it, but it is not illegal in 12 states in the US to record police. There is a man that faces 75 years in prison right now for doing so. I never had a problem with police asking why the person is video taping, but to make it illegal is a little much. So the old saying is if you're on public property you're free to tape what is going on, well that saying depends on where you live now so you might want to check out local laws. The video below is a news segment of the guy facing prison. He's not the first and probably won't be the last.
