"County Law! County Law!" *

Police not "getting along" with Rodney King and giving him the "what for" 

A federal appeals court has ruled that we have a First Amendment right to film the police while they are in the course of doing their duties.  That seems to be common sense, but it's good to know the next time the cops tell you to "quit filming!!!"  (But these days, they film themselves with in car cameras more than anyone else does.)
