confessing to exercising a right.......yep. that's gonna go over well with a judge.
attempting to exercise a right by taping the police.........i'd like to hear the explanation of the police on that one.
judge: officers, why did you order the surrender of a video recording device?
officers: your honor, we had a right not to be videotaped.
judge: no you didn't. You are civil servants who have no expectation of privacy in a public setting while performing your authorized duties.
my guess is that if this guy has ANY witnesses, the city will settle any lawsuit before it gets in front of a judge just to avoid any embarrasment.
