What a maroon. Not you but the guy you're quoting. I guess he's never seen those videos where dudes literally bait cops into detaining and or arresting them for this and and then sue
I love that ish.
Not everybody lives in a world where they think all police deserve to be completely
ed at every opportunity.
That aside, recording is legal in most cases. Legal, by strict definition.
When a private citizen is going about their day, they have every entitlement to ask not to be filmed-- even in a public space.
The person filming has every right to refuse that request.
The resulting situation might escalate to the point where a court of law needs to determine who was at fault, and who was the party most engaged in pushing an issue.
If a regular dude asks you to stop filming and you don't think you're channel 5 eyewitness news recording the crime of the century, then put your phone down, man. Everybody wants to be on WorldStar so bad that we're forgetting you can't force that
