A Wilmington police officer is shown on video instructing a citizen who was pulled over for a traffic stop that he is not allowed to record the interaction due to a new state law prohibiting the recording of police interactions.

I'll tell you one reason why cops don't like to be recorded. When the time comes to convict criminals in court, a recording gives an opportunity to a smart lawyer to get him off technicalities.

Yes those troublesome technicalities, like the bill of rights.

I think it does actually. Police have been militarizing traffic stops.

They don't use SWAT teams for writing tickets.

Right on on the rest.

You seem biased against the cop. He gets the benefit of the doubt.

There is no doubt when there is video.

You simply think there is no time a criminal who has a badge should be held accountable.

Hmmmmmm.......

Two separate sentences. Two separate examples of how police are more aggressive than they used to be. Don't be embarrassed, most people have to get past 4th or 5th grade to comprehend that kind of abstract thought. I have faith that someday you will be able understand this stuff, just keep working at it.
