Cop Seeks Wiretapping Charges For Woman Who Videotaped Beating

Posted by Soulskill on from the you've-got-to-be-kidding-me dept.

An anonymous reader writes "A police officer who was disciplined for his role in the beating of a Massachusetts man (many broken bones in his face and permanent partial blindness) is looking to bring criminal wiretapping charges against the woman who caught much of the incident on video. The officer received a 45-day suspension for the beating. He does not appear to deny anything that happened in the video, but he apparently thinks it shouldn't have been filmed."

  1. 45 day suspension? by Dog-Cow · · Score: 1, Troll

    If a civilian beat someone up that badly, he'd be facing a few years in prison.

    Cops should die. Painfully, slowly and messily.

  2. This law was supposedly to "protect your privacy". by John+Hasler · · Score: 1, Troll

    Think about that next time you demand more "privacy" laws.
