The Michigan Supreme Court ruled in favor of rapper Dr. Dre in a case involving a very important legal principle — whether the police have a right to privacy while performing their duties. The state high court said no. The suit was filed by Gary Brown, now a Detroit City Councilman but formerly a high-ranking police official. He and other officers were videotaped while threatening to shut down a concert featuring Dre and Eminem if they showed a sexually explicit video. The video was then included in a DVD produced about the tour. The court, in a 6-1 ruling, dismissed the suit, saying that there is no right to privacy for police while on the job. The implications of this ruling are far more important than they may seem initially because it explicitly makes it legal in the state of Michigan to record the police while they perform their duties. This is incredibly important because cell phone videos of police officers have revealed misconduct, abuse and lying on reports in case after case around the country. But in some states, like Illinois, it is illegal to videotape the police in the performance of their duties. Michigan now has a clearly established legal right for what has become a crucial watchdog on police misconduct. http://michiganmessenger.com/47523/michigan-high-court-rules-for-dr-dre
Luckily most groids are too dumb to operate these cell phone cameras correctly so the chances of more Rodney King-beating type videos coming out are unlikely. The boys in blue do lock up alot of Blacks and Mestizos and so I support them just for that!
