The right to record

Post by phuketrichard »

the smart phone has changed the way news and abuse is seen

special report;
In an original special report, MSNBC's Chief Legal Correspondent Ari Melber explores how cell phone videos are advancing police accountability and traces the evolution across policy, politics and technology. The report documents two features of viral police videos that often go "unseen" - the people who record them, and the system's response to the videos, including a backlash that recently went to the highest levels of the FBI. Melber reports on the current climate in the Trump era and the far longer history in the U.S. struggle for civil rights.

It is interesting to note that in Cambodia it is illegal to make a video unless you have a journalist licence. So if, for example, you record some incident here the police have the right to take your cell phone and delete the video. I know from personal experience that they can and will do this.
