I agree with Mr. Nee that police officers "are entitled to the same rights as every citizen" because they, simply, are.<p>I believe any individual should be allowed to record anything they please.  But I also believe the distribution should be controlled by those who can be identified in the recording.<p>The biggest deciding factor in this case should be if the recording was interfering with keeping the peace or not.  If it's a personal issue, then the Officers were acting in a personal capacity and they were abusing their power. They should handle the situation the same way I would if someone were recording me.<p>If I reported to the Police that someone was unlawfully recording me, what do you think they would do?
