Not sure why anyone who is a cop isn't expecting to be recorded 100% of the time.

It's a little ridiculous that cops have traffic cameras, CCTV everywhere, but object to being recorded. Time for State Laws to make it a crime for LEOs to say they can't be taped.

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.

The cop was an asshole.
I would have stopped recording anyway. I would also let them search the car.
Why waste everyone's time?

That's the trouble with too many Americans. They are making a big fuss over the wrong rights. No one makes a fuss over not being able to flush the Koran down the toilet, or draw cartoons of Mohammad.

10 years for the criminal cop for
- terrorist threat
- extortion
- obstruction of justice
- disorderly conduct
- illegal search

Then let every remaining cop in the country know about his sentence. This shit will stop immediately.
