Photograph Police, Go To Jail

[Bob Hubbard]

Not illegal: Photographing cops.

Do they cover for each other? Yes sometimes. And when it comes out, heads usually roll.
Do some get away with it? Yes. Same as any other crime, sometimes people do get away with it. But most police forces in the US are honest and self-policing.

Personally speaking I have usually been too busy at whatever scene I am on to worry about people taking my picture..Now a crime scene is usually secured with an officer and if you cross the taped line attempting to take photographs THEN you get into trouble...

And that makes sence. If someone crosses the line or otherwise is interfering with the investigation, there''s a problem. But if they are on an accessible spot, not interfering, then it's legal and they shouldn't be bothered.

Agreed..At bad MVA scenes even the media is kept at a distance..They can photograph and send all live feed of the Squads and marked units arriving and departing to their hearts content, just DONT cross the line...
