On my run this morning, I was listening to the This American Life episode with Adrian Schoolcraft. Adrian Schoolcraft was a cop in Brooklyn who started wearing a recorder and exposed some pretty amazing systemic corruption and lying in the NYPD, and now finds himself harassed by the NYPD as he's taken shelter in his father's house, 350 miles away.
So I was happy to have that balanced by the news that "A Harford County Circuit Court judge ruled this afternoon that a motorcyclist who was arrested for videotaping his traffic stop by a Maryland State Trooper was within his rights to record the confrontation."
