"A Boston man filed a federal lawsuit against the city and four police officers today alleging he was beaten after he used his cellphone to record their actions as they arrested his friend." ...
"Paulino started recording when officers allegedly started mistreating the friend outside the station. He was charged with violating the state wiretapping laws. He also was charged with resisting arrest, disorderly conduct and assault and battery on a police officer."
"His lawyers said he did not interfere with police while recording nor did he curse threaten or act aggressively. The suit said a federal appeals court has ruled that it is legal to record police who are performing their official duties in public." ... |

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
No kingdom can be secured otherwise than by arming the people. The possession of arms is the distinction between a freeman and a slave. He, who has nothing, and who himself belongs to another, must be defended by him, whose property he is, and needs no arms. But he, who thinks he is his own master, and has what he can call his own, ought to have arms to defend himself, and what he possesses; else he lives precariously, and at discretion. — James Burgh, Political Disquisitions: Or, an Enquiry into Public Errors, Defects, and Abuses [London, 1774-1775]. |
