I saw this on another forum as well a while back.

I don't normally conceal carry while out riding on the bike but I have.

Sometimes it's in the easily accessible zippered section of my tankbag.

I'm not saying "well I would have done this or that"...but this sure had the potential to get nasty real quick.

I didn't see any blue lights flashing on this guys car. :idk:

Was the guy running from the marked car behind him and then this plain clothes guy intervened ? That's the ONLY way I can give this plain clothes guy any credit.

Imho the ONLY thing he should have been flashing was a badge and his blue lights.

Total BS, but typical for cops who are just pissed that everyone has video cams these days.

No doubt. When I get some time I'm going to find someone to write to in that jurisdiction.

Welcome to the People's Republic of Maryland, where you can be jailed for just about anything.

The shape of things to come...

Remember the broohahah about Linda Trip being prosecuted for recording her conversations about BC with the Cigar Girl?????

That was in Maryland, too.

I watched the video and if I were the guy I would have been terrified of a guy coming at me telling me to get off my bike with a gun in hand. Cops a lucky bastard he didn't stop someone who carried!

The video law is stupid...

Unauthorized recording of audio without a warrant is a Federal not a state offense. It appears that the state prosecutor is using this fact to bully this guy.
This in fact means if you use your cell phone to capture audio without the consent of another you can be prosecuted. The fact that it was spontaneous meaning that no plan was made to record the officer and if no threat was made based on the existence of the recording meaning "Drop the Charge or I release the recording" conviction is unlikely.

I've always been respectful of the police. But, more and more, I'm thinking... FTP..

How is that charge possible? That is, in Texas it is legal to record any conversation as long as at least one party is aware. What you're saying.... this could trump that?

Kaneman, I'm in your camp on this.
