A Federal appeals court in Massachusetts has ruled, essentially, that police in public places do not have the right to grab your camera and charge you with a crime for audio-recording them.
Might be useful to make a copy of the ruling and carry it around with you if you expect to ever film police.  Details:

FYI, all they actually really ruled is that the police don't have immunity from lawsuits, at this particular time, if they arrest you for recording them.

You still might lose such a suit, because the issue has not been addressed, yet.

Basically, the police argued, "this is a stupid lawsuit, so it should be dismissed," and the court responded, "it may or may not be right, but it's not so blatantly stupid that it must be dismissed before trial."

I think everyone here knows that it's not a stupid lawsuit, and what the only correct ruling a fair court could reach, is.  But there's no telling what an actual court will do.  So don't count your chickens until they hatch.  All they've said, so far, is that you are allowed to sue the police over this, not that you'll win.

All it takes is for one disgruntled person to click the "flag" button, and Youtube automatically removes the video from public view. It's then up to the video owner to convince an actual person at Youtube that the video was okay.

what a goofy  way to do things
