Texas Police Will Soon Be Able To Charge You With A Felony For Recording Them

Featured Replies

Isn’t that just about penalties for interfering with a police officer and not specifically anything about recording cops?

Yeah if it's about recording, the cops might opt out as well.

Wait...

We shouldn't have to record them if their own recording equipment mysteriously wouldn't keep failing at the most inopportune times.

Recording and interfering aren’t the same thing

I think the point is that cops have been known to escalate a situation where they are being legally recorded by a citizen and arrest them for interfering. The charge might not stick, but you can’t beat the ride.

Cops are going to be fucked as vehicles continue to evolve with recording devices.

No more of the “oh he ran that red iight because I saw him” bullshit.

“Dispatch, let the record show that my chest cam is not functioning properly”
