Yes, but right wingers feel a sense of entitlement about attacking non-right wingers. They feel they have the right.
In this thread alone you called more than half of the people in this country terrorists because they don't follow along with your own screwed up ideas and you have the nerve to say that people on the right attack you? LOL You're more delusional than I originally thought.
Exactly my point, stop calling people like me a terrorist. That's completely ridiculous and if you can't be civil, you will be on ignore and reported. I'm not pretending anything, you really need to stop.
They're just doing it to get your goat. It's just immaturity.

My concern is that using that particular word is going to trigger some kind of flag and get us all on some kind of watch list. Call me paranoid but I don't want to be suspected of something just b/c some people can't act like adults and stop with the hyperbole and name-calling.
And this incident occurred on a public sidewalk and the only audio being recorded was the person's own commentary of what she was filming. There was no secretly recorded conversation.
The videotaper's voice is not the only audio recorded. The voice of the woman who said she would be in jail and the voice of the EMT are also recorded.
And a patient is not a public official. Important distinction between this situation and the motorcycle case.

Do any of you understand HIPPA? This person was on a stretcher on a public sidewalk with 2 EMTs, not in an exam room with a physician talking about her medical history.
You may not understand the law but there's nothing illegal about video taping on a public sidewalk.

yes, and she is still protected by HIPPA. the location doesn't matter.
she could have been a patient on her front law with a doctor attending. She is still covered by HIPPA

Please see the information that I have already provided regarding audiorecordings. In a two-party consent state, you don't not have the right to record another person's voice without their permission, regardless of whether or not the videotaping occurs in public. There are much more stringent laws relating to audio than videotape. The former deals with sound, the latter only with the images.
The law is the law. Sorry if you don't like it. The reason that the motorcycle case was thrown out had much to do with a police officer being a public official.

Ok - legalities aside.
If that had been a member of YOUR family being filmed while being loaded into an ambulance, and the video then posted on the internet with a totally false accounting - or even an accurate one, for that matter - of WHY that family member was being transported by emergency medical personnel, are you really going to tell us that that would have been A-OK with you?

If this tape is thrown out then a lot of tapes people make of someone doing things in public will be. What if we come across a crime and we tape it? Like a woman being forced into a car by 2 men. Should the Rodney King incident tape have been thrown out since it was taped by a civilian of the police?
It will be interesting to learn the rest of the story here after it goes to trial.

We don't know the identity of the woman patient, we probably will never know her identity.
