for all you who apparently didn't read the whole article, charges were dropped against him.
as for cops saying they can't be recorded without consent... well then how can they record people they pull over, without their consent of being recorded?
I understand the PO's do it for their safety, but it truely is hypocrisy.
"You can't record me cuz I didn't agree! But I can record you whether you like it or not!"
as for complaining about what the guy did... since there is no video, how do we know the PO's weren't royally beating the snot out of the guy?
Sure, PO's can use force when necessary, and "unnecessary force" is all dependent on the situation (which we don't know the exact situation except for what little was told in the article).
Maybe the officer's were only being as necessary as they needed to be, but maybe they were using excessive force.
Without any kind of video as to the exact situation we won't know.
