ACLU lawsuit contends new Indiana law prevents police officers from being held accountable
A lawsuit filed by the ACLU of Indiana challenges a new law that prohibits citizens from being within 25 feet of law enforcement officers.
A lawsuit filed in federal court by the American Civil Liberties Union of Indiana on Tuesday challenges a new state law that prohibits citizens from being within 25 feet of law enforcement officers.
The law, which went into effect on July 1, is called a violation of constitutional rights by the ACLU, which claims that citizens have a right to “observe and record the police.”

i guess they havent heard of this neat "zooming" thing that cameras can do
“This recording is inadmissible, it was zoomed in so much it’s impossible to tell with any certainty what is going on.”
Digital zoom is literally just cropping out the rest of the video. You’re not actually zooming in, you’re just losing context.
there's optical zoom too, though it's true that many cameras dont have that option
In a perfect world, sure. But in reality, the majority of devices do not have optical zoom. Most recordings of police are done on cellphones, and usually older And/or lower end models that aren’t using optical zoom.
