@sulliview says that “A Citizen’s Guide to Recording the Police” comes "at a crucial time." It "explains why, under most circumstances, the police can neither seize nor demand to view such recordings...and it provides case-law examples to back up its assertions."
“In this new era, we have armies of citizens out on the streets capable of producing evidence that checks the conduct of public officials.” For them, this guide is critical. washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/medi…
