'First Amendment Auditor' Sues NYPD over Right to Record in Police Stations
I once had to go to my local station to get a copy of a police report that resulted from harassment by a neighbor.   I was legally open-carrying my sidearm and had a camera on my hat recording the interaction.<p>While I was waiting for the report to be printed, two uniformed officers emerged from the back room and started interrogating me; they obviously were trying to intimidate me and get me to say something that would allow them to arrest me.  It was incredibly unnerving and put me off from ever wanting to set foot there again.  I felt lucky to not have been arrested and charged for no legitimate reason.<p>As far as I am concerned, the police are a gang of thugs and crooks.  They cannot be trusted.
