Charges Dropped In PA Video Taping Arrest

Cumberland County District Attorney David Freed has reversed himself completely over the charges against Brian Kelly, arrested for wiretapping after videotaping a police stop. Now let's see if they are good enough to compensate Kelly for the 26 hours he spent in jail and the anguish of the cloud over his future caused by a felony arrest. From the article: "... [DA] Freed said his decision will affect not only Brian Kelly, 18, but also will establish a policy for police departments countywide. 'When police are audio- and video-recording traffic stops with notice to the subjects, similar actions by citizens, even if done in secret, will not result in criminal charges,' Freed said yesterday. 'The law itself might need to be revised.'"

You guys in the UK have cops who arrest people yelling at trespassers, who take people's cars off the streets and crush them for no reason, your schools refuse to teach the crusades or holocaust for fear of offending Muslims...what you need is a good revolution. I'm not surprised what happened to you happened to you, or that you can't do anything about it, but I am appalled and saddened.
