But again, you mentioned that in florida state troopers could not use there police videos against you in court. I am aware that this is not confirmed but my point is that in the same instance of the issues concerning being recorded in public, doesn't that apply to police officers recording their videos and using that against you and vice versa. If you are allowed to use that evidence in court why can't they. You both were in the public arena.

RICKO: Well, I'm not from florida, so it would take me way to much time to find it. I'm thinking here, that I found that in the state constitution! "I could be wrong on this" lol. Again, this may have been a case a read, that was over turned.
Have you called your state AG? I would, do all the time, and I know they get sick of it, but i have questions damn it!
Most states they do use the tapes against you. Prob. do in florida, I threw that out to give you a door to look behind.
It comes down to this-why not record everything? If you can't use it in court, you can't. But, that one time when you could, you'd have what you needed. Just because you can't use it in court, doen'st mean you can't record, just means they won't look at it.
If you have a camera set up, to record your property, and it would happen to show the street, AND someone got killed on that street, would they use it? Yep.
Each state differs, but I'm sure if you look hard enough, you will find what you need. If not, you will know more than the public servents in question.
Last, Public Servents do not have the rights retained by the people. In other words, are they protected by the "right to privacy" like you? Not where I live they don't. Your state may differ. And your constitution tell's you you have a right to protect yourslef, property, ect... as well as participate in government activity.
