I tried to find my answer through google, but couldn't find a straight answer and yet there are hundreds of videos on youtube, with guys recording Police Officers at pull overs, demonstrations, arresting etc.
Nobody seems to be disallowing the recording.
I know that you are are not allowed to record the Police in doing whatsoever in Germany and Greece.
Thank you

If you're doing it in a public place, it is legal.
Cops don't care about the law, however. Their mentality is that they can say jump, and you are supposed to say how high. If you do anything they don't like, they can either beat you up, or falsely arrest you first, and THEN beat you up in custody, and then get away with it by telling their superiors that they either believed you were a terrorist suspect, or you were resisting arrest.

Well aren't you giving a person that YOU pay a lot of rights over you? Because playing the "terrorist" card for example and getting away with it is at least laughable. Even the way they're talking to you guys over there is disgraceful..
Pointing the gun at you and screaming "GET OUT OF THE DAMN CAR NOW!!!" ?? Really??edit on 7-12-2011 by Hellas because: (no reason given)
