CE #3

The Article I Have read this week for the Current Event number 3 is called Traffic stop video on YouTube sparks debate on police use of Md. wiretap laws it was written by Annys Shin. This article talks about Antony Grabber’s case. He spent 26 hours in jail because he had recorded a state trooper while he was giving him a ticket for doing 80 in a 65 mph zone.

The debate of his case is between people who think why should be recording a Police Officer in a public an illegal action? Why if they are supposed to act in public so everyone can see and hear what they say. On the other side, there are states that have established recording a State Trooper illegal.

I’ve chosen this article because it seemed important and interesting to me. Given that it is something that I don’t agree with. I don’t think recording a police officer should be illegal. They always say what they want and judges don’t even ask if that person is saying the truth, of course they are taught to do so, I don’t know how honest they could be when establishing their statements in court. After all, no one likes to lose.

It was well written. And It was also easy to read. It was written chronologically also.
