This law is much needed. How many videos have we seen of police
threatening citizens who film them and lying about it being illegal?
from ABC 7 Denver:
A package of police oversight bills introduced in the
Colorado Legislature includes a measure that would impose up to $15,000
in civil penalties if a law enforcement officer seizes or destroys a
citizen’s recording or interferes with someone trying to film them.
"Primarily,
it came up as a result of the number of news reports we’ve been seeing
about police officers telling people, ‘Give me your camera,’ or taking
the data away, and that is unacceptable conduct," said Rep. Joe Salazar,
a Democrat from Thornton and co-sponsor of the bill.
