How much should you charge for a photograph?Conn. Senator Introduces Bill Protecting Citizens' Right to Videotape Police
A Connecticut state senator has introduced a bill that would not only guarantee the rights of citizens to record police, but hold police accountable when they prevent citizens from doing so.
Senator Martin Looney (D-New Haven) introduced the bill last month.
As Radley Balko of Reason Magazine notes, this is the first proposed law that would give citizens the right to file civil suit against police officers for violating these rights.
As we've seen so many times on this site, police officers have become so accustomed to violating these rights, even to the point of outright lying, that they obviously believe they are immune to any type of counter-action.
A bill like this would make them think twice about trampling on our First Amendment rights to record them.
Comments
Rather than using this story as a platform to bash police officers, Mr. Miller, I think that you would do your cause a service by using as a call to action - not only for readers in Connecticut to support Senator Loney, but for readers in other states to recommend similar legislation to their own representatives and senators.
I think we do better when we're for something, rather than against something.
Huh?
Just like Mr. Miller, I am for people who have sworn sacred oaths to uphold the law keeping their oaths. You are obviously for the complete opposite...why exactly?
Oh I don't know. I think I can be against cops violating innocent victims. And be for cops being held accountable.
I think I can be for the Looney Bill while being against cops twisting ancient wiretap laws.
"When seconds count cops are just minutes away."
Bashing? Or reality?
I wish Massachusetts had a bill like this pending!
Didn't know where to post this Carlos, Florida bill introduced that would make it illegal to photograph farms from a public road. My favorite line is at the end of the article. Wilton Simpson says, "Farmers are a common-sense people. A tourist who stops and takes a picture of cows -- I would not imagine any farmer in the state of Florida that cares about that at all." If that is the case why is he pushing for this legislation???
