SADLY, IT’S NOT JUST DEMOCRATS LIKE DAVID BOREN WHO ENGAGE IN CONSTUTITIONAL DUMBASSERY: Texas Bill Would Make Recording Police Illegal.
A bill introduced to the Texas House of Representatives would make it illegal for private citizens to record police within 25 feet.
House Bill 2918, introduced by Texas Rep. Jason Villalba (R-Dallas) on Tuesday, would make the offense a misdemeanor. Citizens who are armed would not be permitted to record police activity within 100 feet of an officer, according to the Houston Chronicle.
Only representatives of radio or TV organizations that hold an FCC license, newspapers and magazines would have the right to record police.
Not only is this a First Amendment violation, but there’s also a due process right to record the police.
