Really? Until last week, CA had a three strikes law where a guy could be jailed for life for engaging in minor, exclusively non-violent crimes. CA... Not Mississippi, or Alabama.
The "Order above all else crowd" loves ideas like barring people from recording cops. Until their kids get busted with pot in high school, and suddenly they decide, like the right wingers who have a change of heart and become pro-choice when their daughters get knocked up, order isn't as important as individual rights.
And nobody with a voice is going to fight for the right to record cops. If labor's power erodes any more in the next couple years, you'll see mass strikes all over the place. Wal Mart wouldn't be happy to merely see the taping of cops barred. It'd be lobbying Congress to allow it to hire armies of Pinkertons to squash strikes. And really -- Why not have a Wal Mart Court in which to try anyone who seeks to upset the State of Wal Mart. Jail them right there in the store. And hangings for capital offenses in the parking lot every other Friday! Family fun! Big Box Retailer Style!
