Wow......that was unexpected, but so obvious at the same time. We need to clone that judge.

THIS is how our justice system is supposed to work! Now I hope he sues their ass for millions so they never consider doing it again.

"Circuit Court Judge Emory A. Plitt Jr.'s ruling helps clarify the state's wire tap law and makes it clear that police officers enjoy little expectation of privacy as they perform their duties.
"Those of us who are public officials and are entrusted with the power of the state are ultimately accountable to the public," Plitt wrote. "When we exercise that power in a public forum, we should not expect our activity to be shielded from public scrutiny."
Well done! This is a HUGE blow to those a-holes, and hopefully other courts and the US supreme court will take note of this.

We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language...and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people."

"A strict observance of the written laws is doubtless one of the high duties of a good citizen, but it is not the highest. The laws of necessity, of self- preservation, of saving our country when in danger, are of higher obligation. To lose our country by a scrupulous adherence to written law would be to lose the law itself, with life, liberty, property, and all those who are enjoying them with us; thus absurdly sacrificing the end to the means."
--Thomas Jefferson

Private police actions are what necessitated the presumption of innocence, the 5th amendment, and protection against double jeopardy.

It appears that governments are more afraid of its citizens when they are armed with cameras than they are with firearms.
The lessen here is to consider Orwell’s vision in reverse. If all the eyes of citizens are turned toward the government, then government will have no choice but to follow the will of its citizens…
Maybe a new amendment guarantying the right to bare recording devices is in order.

Hopefully this sanity will extend all the way up to the US Supreme Court. But, that's a big "IF" considering the new appointees in there.......
That tidbit I posted, was to me the most meaningful part of that whole article. Basically, if you are in a public place, you should have ZERO presumption of privacy. PERIOD.

Do not put off living the life you dream of. Next year may never come. If we are always waiting for something to change...
Retirement, the kids to leave home, the weather or the economy, that's not living. That's waiting!
Waiting will only leaves us with unrealized dreams and empty wishes.
