POLiCE BRUTALiTY.

Should citizens be able to videotape the activities of police officers in public?

I think citizens should be able to videotape police officers in public because that is proof & now days you need proof. Most police officers I’ve dealt with lied. For example I got into a police chase on my dirt bike and after they hit me off I went on the ground and put my hands behind my back and they still beat me up. All they had to say was I was resisting to get away with it. Now if someone had recorded it I most likely could have sued. Also they said my dirt bike rolled and hit a cop car and made damage so he was going to sue me. Now if it were recorded the video could have clearly showed the cop hit me off my bike and it fell there’s no way it could have rolled and hit the cop car. In the article it states that three police officers were arresting a man and a bystander named Simon Glik was concerned the police were using excessive force and pulled out his cell phone and recorded. The police officers seen and arrested Simon to and charged him with wiretapping along with other charges to. The police officers most likely knew they were wrong and seen he had proof (the video) and had to arrest him to.
