Man faces jail for videotaping gun-waving cop

I could agree with that, for a certain definition of "nothing to hide" which requires that there be nothing in your history that you could possibly get in trouble for and reliable witnesses at every stage in your life to publically dispute any fabricated evidence of wrongdoing.

You have got to be joking.

In the sense that I think it's a fallacious argument - yes.  In the sense that I think it's funny to use said argument against the machine which invented it - no.  In the sense that precisely the reason why we'd want the freedom to record police behaviour is because they have plenty to hide, thus creating an interesting cognitive dissonance - welcome to PD.com 

This post is irritating to read in the sense that it is confusing.

For some reason I got the sense he was being sarcastic, but that may be because my irony sensors have been down for maintenance recently.

I understood Cpt. Utopia's post as turning that old cliché on its head, and saying that if the police have nothing to hide, then they have nothing to fear from a video camera wielding civilian.

Yup, which made me wonder for a minute if the cliché was correct.

Are you having difficulty with the writing or the concepts?

Both actually... like what's a pro-noun and why does it get paided more then a noun

Yup, which made me wonder for a minute if the cliché was correct.

Ohh.  No, I couldn't tell.  My brain locked up on that one, so I didn't get it.

ALL LINE UP FOR STATES' RIGHTS HERE!

See, one thing Jeffersonian spags forget, the protection of the weak is usually compromised when states' RIGHTS TO HAVE TEH RIGHTS trumps those of the individual.  I'm finding cases like this as well as the Prop 8 fiasco falling under this category, and there's many more like them.  Arizona's recent Operation Wetback Mach II barks high and loud in this key.
