National Guard Man Faces 16 Years In Jail For Videotaping Police
Officer

Should Videotaping the Police Really Be a Crime?

Time
Magazine
Thursday, August 5, 2010

Anthony Graber, a Maryland Air National Guard staff sergeant, faces up to 16
years in prison. His crime? He videotaped his March encounter with a state
trooper who pulled him over for speeding on a motorcycle. Then Graber put the
video — which could put the officer in a bad light — up on YouTube.

It doesn’t sound like much. But Graber is not the only person being slapped
down by the long arm of the law for the simple act of videotaping the police in
a public place. Prosecutors across the U.S. claim the videotaping violates
wiretap laws — a stretch, to put it mildly.

These days, it’s not hard to see why police are wary of being filmed. In
1991, the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) beating of Rodney King was
captured on video by a private citizen. It was shown repeatedly on television
and caused a national uproar. As a result, four LAPD officers were put on trial,
and when they were not convicted, riots broke out, leaving more than 50 people
dead and thousands injured (two officers were later convicted on federal civil
rights charges).

This article proves to me that many cops are just Barney Fifes who need to
be filmed because they know not what they do.
Why this is treated as a
criminal act is beyond me! It would probably be overtuend on trial.
More
NWO and neo-con unConstitutional BS.

It won’t be overturned anyway. The judges are just attorneys in gudges
raiment.
They are dishonorable scum bags. If they want the fix to be in,
you can be sure
it will be in. When we take the country back from the
politicians we need to finish the job. Ever notice that 96% of all politicians
were attorneys first. SCCUUUUMMM!!

THE USE OF “WIRETAPPING” LAWS BY THE “POLICE”…IS NOT MERELY ON “SHAKEY
GROUND”..ITS AN OUTRIGHT LIE!

AN INCREDIBLY…SIMPLE…OVERT…MISUSE AND EVEN ABUSE..OF..WHAT IS
FORTUNATELY..A VERY SIMPLE…AS IN..”SO EASY TO UNDERSTAND AND SO UNAMBIGUOUS
EVEN A CHILD CAN PLAINY MAKE THE CRITICAL DISTINCTIONS..”

AND THAT CRITICAL DISTINCTION IS…THE “PRIVATE CONVERSATION” “PARAGRAPH” IN
THE LAW ITSELF!

THE LAW STATES VERY PLAINLY..THAT “BOTH PARTIES IN A PRIVATE CONVERSATION
MUST AGREE TO THE RECORDING..”

BUT….I MEAN….”DUHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH”…”DUH” WITH AN ENORMOUS..”25 FONT SIZE”
CAPITOL “D”.

CAUSE..THERE IS NOTHING…WHATSOEVER…”PRIVATE”..ABOUT A “PUBLIC
OFFICIAL”….”ENGAGING IN PUBLIC ARREST OR ACTIONS”..AGAINST A “CITIZEN”……AND
THIS IS THE REAL CLENCHER…………………………”IN PUBLIC”!

THAT..IS THE WHOLE DEAL!

IN FACT…THIS…LITERALLY..PSYCHOTIC…ATTEMPT TO USE THIS…OVERTLY IMPOSSIBLE TO
UTILIZE “LAW”….IS VERY ALARMING BECAUSE OF WHAT IT “INDICATES” ABOUT THE
ATTITUDE OF…’POLICE”!

NAMELY…THAT THEY HAVE BEGUN TO ACTUALLY VIEW THEIR ‘ACTIONS”…AND THEIR
“POWERS”….AS “NON-PUBLIC”….OR….UHHHH…”SECRET POLICING”.

THATS THE REALITY HERE..IN VERY PLAIN ENGLISH…THAT IS TO SAY:

THE ONLY WAY THEY COULD REALLY..USE THE “WIRETAPPING” LAWS IN THE WAY THAT
THEY ARE ATTEMPTING TO DO….IS IF…”IF”..THEY WERE IN FACT…”SECRET POLICE”!

OTEHRWISE…THE ENTIRE PROCESS…IS NOT ONLY IN DIRECT VIOLATION OF THE LAW
ITSELF…..BUT IS OVERTLY..’PUBLIC”..AND THIS IS SIMPLY……IRREFUTABLE!

THIS…IS….PUBLIC!

NOT SECRET…NOT “PRIVATE”….BUT….PUBLIC!

THE “INTERACTIONS” BETWEEN “POLICE” AND CITIZENS……….ARE…………..PUBLIC!

AGAIN….NOT “PRIVATE”.

THAT “POLICE”..CAN ACTUALLY…IN FACT…EVEN “SUPPORT” THE IDEA THAT THEIR
ACTIONS ARE “PRIVATE”…AND THAT THEYA RE NOT “PUBLIC FIGURES OR EMPLOYEES
OF…THE PUBLIC”…IS TRULY..ASIDE FROM THEIR UTER AND COMPLETE CONTEMPT FOR
“PROTEST” AND ‘REDRESS OF GRIEVANCES”…..IS PERHAPS THE MOST TELLING EXAMPLE OF
THE TRULY FASCIST IDEOLOGY THEY HAVE COME TO BELIEVE IN AS INDIVIDUALS!

THE LITTLE PETTY TYRANT FAGGOT-MAGGOT THAT IN FACT THIS CASE IS
SURROUNDING….WELL..LOOK AT HIM…HE NOT ONLY IS “NOT IN UNIFORM”..BUT IS AN
UNMARKED CAR….HE’S ‘TRYING” TO BE..’SECRET POLICE”.

THE FINAL ELEMENT IN THIS….HOWEVER…IS THE
MOST..OUTRAGEOUS..AND…VERY..VERY…EVIL!

THAT THE ‘POLICE”..ARE SO..AWARE OF THEIR OWN PENCHANT FOR ABUSE…ARE SO
AWARE THAT THEY..ARE GOING TO…YES…THAT THEY KNOW..THAT THEY..AS
INDIVIDUALS..ARE GOING TO VIOLATE THE RIGTHS OF CITIZENS……THAT THEY ARE TRYING
TO MAKE RECORDING THEIR ACTIONS..”ILLEGAL”…IS TRULY……THE MOST IMPOSSIBLE TO
REFUTE EVIDENCE OF A POLICE STATE MENTALITY IN “LAW ENFORCEMENT”..THAT WE HAVE
YET WITNESSED!

‘POLICE”..ARE NO LONGER..’POLICE”…THEY DO NOT..”SERVE ND PROTECT”…THEY DO
NOT “WANT TO SERVE AND PROTECT”…THEY DO NOT CARE…NOR EVEN ACKNOWLEDGE…’CIVIL
LIBERTIES’…

JUST TRY MENTIONING YOUR “RIGHTS” TO SOME SCUMBAG MAGGOT-FAGGOT PIGMAN..SEE
WHAT HAPPENS!

THE OTEHR THING ABOUT THIS CASE..IS THE MILLIONS…YES…MILLIONS….OF
SITUATIONS YOU..’DON’T HEAR ABOUT’..BECAUSE THE PERSON DOING THE
RECORDING…ACTUALLY…WAS TOO MUCH OF A COWARD…OR THE PIGS WERE ACTUALLY
“PHYSICAL” IN LYING TO THE CITIZEN AND TELLING THEM ‘RECORDING IS
ILLEGAL”.

THEY DO THIS..LITERALLY…’DAILY’.

AND “DAILY”…THEY GET AWAY WITH IT!

THEY WANT TO BEAT..INTIMIDATE…MURDER..TORTURE..STEAL…….IN “PRIVATE”…THEY
THEMSELVES KNOW THEY HAVE NO “HONOR”..THEY THEMSELVES KNOW THEY ARE THUGS AND
SOCIOPATHS…THIEVES AND RAPISTS…ND THEY WILL GO TO ANY LENGTHS TO VIOLATE YOUR
RIGHTS..AND PREVENT YOU FROM GENERATING EVIDENCE TO SUPPORT YOUR CLAIMS!

THIS….HAPPENS………EVERY……….DAY!

RECORD EVERYTHING THEY DO….ITS NOT “ILLEGAL”…ITS NOT A “PRIVATE
CONVERSATION”…ITS PUBLIC!

YOU…ARE…BY DEFINITION…”THE PUBLIC”.

ANY INTERACTION BETWEEN YOU AND THE MAGGOTS….IS…ERGO….”PUBLIC”!

FUK THE PIGS…..LAUGH WHEN THEY DIE…SUE THE COUNTY IF THEY DON’T ELIMINATE
ABUSIVE PIGS…SUE THE PIGS THEMSELVES…..SPIT ON THEIR CARS…..CALL THEIR HOMES
AT 2AM…….”OUT” THEM FOR THE SCUM THEY ARE!

FUK THE “POLICE”….THEY ARE THE ENEMY!

AND CANNOT BE TRUSTED!

THEY..WOULD GLADLY…KILL YOU!

this treatment of a citizen who wants to film anything is wrong. What is
happening to our country and some states? this is wrong and unconstitutional
for this man to have to go to jail for this. I’m getting fking sick and tired
of our government imposing this type of bulls--- on us. Its time to rise up
and take this country back. The government is pushing us up against the
wall.

Talk about a reach, they went after him under a “Wire Taping” provision, a
law meant to Protect, because his Video had Audio.

However, I would ask, where were the Wires, it’s interpretationist law at
it’s worst.

F*ck Maryland, that’s why we won’t let them in the Confederacy.

It was illegal in Russia to even own a camera until 1992. Not that many
could afford one or even the film which was not available in stores.
Communists never have liked cameras or filming, and need I say anymore about
eyewitnesses or academics writing of truth and freedom.

This is where we are heading as people will soon be imprisoned without
cause, lawyer or trial. A provocation of civil war is the agenda of dictators.
We approach that timeline rapidly now.

At this time I would advise you very strongly to review johntitor.com.
Specifically the civil war predictions for America and the subsequent
subdivision of America into 5 regions.
John’s predictions are very
freightening as they are fullfilled.

16 years for filming a police officer!!!!!! I can just picture the scene in
the prison cell. ” So, what you in for?” ….”Oh, I murdered 20 people with a
pick axe….what you in for?”…” Oh, I filmed a police officer…”….” Guards!!!!!
Guards!!!! get this psychopath out of my cell.” The NWO scumbags are really

If a “person” stepped out of a car “brandishing” a
weapon yelling get off the bike, charged me and grabbed my bike, he would have
gotten double tapped. His first words should have been “State Trooper”

He’s lucky to be alive. But hey.. I live in Texas, what do I

Once again our government thinks that police officers are superior citizens
to the rest of us. The police can video the citizens, but the citizens can’t
video the police. When will the citizens rise up by what ever means necessary
and let our government know that they are our servant government not our
masters.

If Obama and his gang of Chicago thugs rig the mid term election on
November 2nd you can count on the patriot citizens to rise up on April 19th
2011 Obama does not know that he is going yet. He still thinks that all he has
to do is smooth talk the American again and he and the Demorats will stay in
power. He is just that stupid.

im sorry but why not let the trooper behind the gun ho off duty punk
a$$.make the stop..i mean he said he was a cop, but i did not see a
badge,(just a gun) and if i was the guy on the bike and there had been no
trooper/ squad car behind.. i would have not believed the ARMED MAN IN STREET
CLOTHES. and would have had to take action!. on the other hand the biker
deserved to be sited for reckless driving and speeding…. but what laws are
broken by filming a stop? if that is the case, EVERY COP CAR AND police are
breaking THEIR.. OWN LAWS!

KILL ALL J.A.R.S. ( JUST ANOTHER ROTHSCHILD SHILL )

Only By Armed Restoration of our Republic can or will we save the Union,
barring that Secession, ONLY D.C. Itself is Under the Jurisdiction of the
Corporation UNITED STATES.

They operate under THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.

But, We are ONLY bound by The Constitution of The United States for
America.

It sound silly, but it’s true, it’s a matter and fact of Law.

The Constitution of The United States for America is the Law of the
land.

THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA is Admiralty/Maritime

The Maryland Attorney General’s Office has released an opinion that may
allow people to record police in some situations.

The opinion states that a police stop is not a private conversation and
therefore it is not covered by Maryland’s Wiretap Act.

You can’t film people in their home and post it, because that’s private.
What happens outside of the home is public. A good lawyer and no jury would
convict someone of this. The Cop looked like the typical kind of Cop where
they have to get that job for the adrenaline rush.

Once they get that rush they have to keep it going. Youwant excitement. A
Cop gets a rush everytime he stops someone. Maybe the guy could just go to the
Cops house and shoot him through the window.

I use ear plugs when I ride a motorcycle.
If someone jumped out of a car
brandishing a Glock, I would have ran them down with the motorcycle.

That guy is not in uniform, does not have a badge, so no reasonable person
would assume that they are a police officer.

Wiretapping is the interception of some form of communication. Videotaping
is not wiretapping.

traveler9878 Says:

The Cops are doing this stuff themselves. For one thing they are stopping
millions with no seatbelt and finding things like beer cans in the car, no
driver’s license, no registration, or weapon in car. This pisses people off.
Why not just pass a law they can randomly stop anyone anytime thye want
instead of this crap about seatbelts and seatbelt checkpoints.

I mean if they have a seatbelt checkpoint people will just click their
seatbelts. But the fact is they stop you at checkpoints and ask for driver’s
license, registration and proof of insurance. With this they make millions.
Makes you just want to travel by boat where you won’t need any of that stuff.

Or move to an island. They only want to extract money from the citizens
like a bunch of customers.

THIS COP COMMITTED THE CRIMINAL ACT OF “TERRORISTIC THREATENING”, AND/OR
“WANTON ENDANGERMENT”!

THE LAW IS CORRUPT, AS IS ALWAYS THE CASE, BECAUSE THEY HAVE A FIDUCIARY
CONFLICT OF INTEREST, AS EXEMPLIFIED IN THIS INSTANCE, AND DO NOT WANT TO
PROSECUTE CORRUPTION WITHIN THEIR RANKS, BECAUSE THE BACK-DOOR LOSS OF
REVENUE, THAT OCCURS IN PAYING OFF A LAWSUIT, AFFECTS THE GOVERNMENT’S BOTTOM
LINE, WHICH CAN AFFECT PENSION, PAID HOLIDAYS, PAID SICK-LEAVE, PAID
INSURANCE, ET CETERA.

THE MAN IS NOT A POLICE OFFICER, WHEN HE JUMPS OUT OF THE CAR, WITH PISTOL
IN HAND, BUT SIMPLY ANOTHER PERSON; BECAUSE, HE DID NOT IDENTIFY HIMSELF
FIRST, BEFORE PULLING HIS WEAPON.

TO BRANDISH A WEAPON, AND/OR PULL A WEAPON ON SOMEONE, CONSTITUTES THE
CRIMINAL ACT OF “TERRORISTIC THREATENING, AND “WANTON ENDANGERMENT.”

The cop obviously has the God Complex and should be removed from duty
before he costs the department a hefty lawsuit.
