A new bill introduced in the Texas state legislature makes it illegal
for average citizens to record police officers within a certain area.
House Bill 2918, which was introduced by Dallas Rep. Jason Villalba, a
Republican, would make such an act a Class A misdemeanor.

If passed, average citizens would have to be 25 feet away from a police
officer when recording and Texans carrying a handgun would have to be
100 feet away when recording. In a tweet, Villalba wrote, “To anyone who
doesn’t like HB 2918 - Deal with it. I stand with cops who keep my
family safe. If you don’t like it - vote me out of office.�

That tweet was subsequently deleted and replaced with another one
reading, “HB 2918 is meant to protect officers, NOT restrict the ability
to keep them accountable. It DOES NOT prohibit filming."

Because, you know, cops shouldn't have to answer when they shoot and
kill unarmed citizens, eh?

Without the ridiculous assertion about unarmed people, I would agree
with you. Cops have no expectation of privacy at work.
... nor do bureaucrats or politicians.



If a pair of cops, and usually they are out in pairs, can't subdue an
unarmed guy without using deadly force, perhaps they should find another
line of work.

You must spend 12 hours of your day searching for crap to come up with
this. Sure, Villalba is an idiot but his political affiliation doesn't
support that. There are plenty of dumb Democrats, too.

Where did you come up with that? I never see two cops in one car. If a
guy is big and/or on drugs it would take more than two.

Eric Garner is an example of NOT using deadly force in any overt way
and he died too.

BTW where do you see 2 cop cruisers? TV? I understand it might be tore
in LA
It was one guy on a car in DC, Maryland and Florida.
I never saw 2 cops in a car in all of our travels in the western
states and those cars were few and far between.
There was only one cop in Wilson's car.



Around here, if a cop pulls you over, there's another cop backing he or
she up within a minute. We have the county mounties and the staties very
active on the main roads down here in "near redneckville." I didn't mean
to imply there were two cops in every cop car. There's a state police
barracks in "downtown" Prince Frederick, the county seat, such as it is.

On the other hand, I see nothing wrong with the 25' requirement. If cops are in the
middle of a drug bust they don't need some camera toting fanatic in their faces while
doing so. Privacy is one thing, interference is another.

I've very seldom seen more than one cop in a car, even in Harry's neck of the woods.

He's bull****ting as usual.
