In reply to the discussion: Police Departments Retaliate Against Organized "Cop Watch" Groups Across the US [View all]Live and Learn
(12,769 posts)80. I highly doubt that. And so what if 'many' are?
They aren't breaking the law by filming cops and officers have no right to interfere in their filming.
If they break the law and murder a cop then you can arrest them. Just as you can arrest anyone that murders any other citizen.
I really don't understand your point.

Never heard of it before. It's a good idea. I can see why authoritarians would hate it.
