A motorcyclist in Maryland, who happened to be wearing a helmut camera, was stopped by a police officer. The motorcyclist recorded the video of what happened next, including the cop drawing a gun. He posted the video on YouTube, and now faces a wiretap charge under Maryland law his efforts. Ridiculous. And the ACLU is defending him. The idea that citizens cannot record the activities of police officers in public is outlandish and offensive.

Much more from Digby.

Oh, and here is the video.
