The Police had no problem dragging a cop car over to film us once upon a time in Madison....................but they're special and all.
So true! Does anyone have that video?
I only know for sure that IL (in our area anyway) prohibits filming or recording LEO's.
The only video I know of is the Illinois incident where the guy is going to get 75 years. Check it out on http://www.theblaze.com. He went to court to answer the charge and was recording that and he told the judge he was. As soon as he left the building he was arrested for violating the eavesdropping statute. Go see the video.
One of the tricks in IL is to drag the case out as long as possible to grind down the defendants will, money, and time in hopes they will eventually deal instead of going to trial.
