DC Officers better learn the law about videotaping in public before they get sued. The now well known video of a DC cop threatening a citizen and then touching him for filming an arrest violated that citizens civil rights. He should be fired for that and the department should pay out. We citizen are sick of cops not knowing laws they should know or just abusing their power y trying to intimidate citizens they know are within their legal rights. If you violate civil rights and stop a person from taping or seize their cameras you will be personally sued. You do not get the legal protection f color of law because its not under good faith. You know or should know that we can video you anywhere we want. Learn or get out of the job.
