Oklahoma allows you to openly carry both loaded & unloaded firearms without a license but wants to make it illegal to video police in public places.

Want to fix it? Contact your Senators, Congress-members & VOTE BLUE‼️

1. SCOTUS has ruled on this. It's okay to film police.

[NutmegYankee]

2. I don't know of a SCOTUS case, but most lower circuit courts have ruled as such. nt

[ZonkerHarris]

4. I apologize. I should have said the United States Court of Appeals for the First Circuit

[Hoyt]

3. Hope they fail.

[In It to Win It]

5. Party of liberty and freedom my ass

[Grokenstein]

8. Liberty, freedom and the pursuit of happiness for some!

Oppression and enslavement for others!

[Volaris]

19. The Decepticon cop car from the movie LITERALLY had the words 'to punish and enslave' written on it.

I thought it was quite amusingly correct

6. Well, that certainly would help the police out with their 'troubles', wouldn't it now?

Fucking Fascists.

[Demsrule86]

7. SCOTUS ruled on this. It won't work.

[Celerity]

9. not the SCOTUS, it was several U.S. Circuit Courts of Appeals

16. Do you think this SCOTUS would uphold these circuits court opinions?

[Celerity]

18. I would hope so, but far less sure now. 50/50 at best.

17. Useful information. Thanks.

[Mad_Machine76]

10. As they say:

If you're not doing anything wrong, you don't have anything to hide, amirite?

[Ferryboat]

11. Would gladly be charged for filming police misconduct

My GoFundMe page would undoubtedly enable me to hire the very best top shelf legal team in the country.

[Jim__]

12. Gee, I wonder why.

[Pepsidog]

13. WTF!!!

[Evolve Dammit]

14. How else could you get away with murder or whatever atrocity you wanted to commit? Klan has hoods..

[bucolic_frolic]

15. Two thoughts: Tiananmen Square, and you can fight reality but you can't win in the long run /nt

[moondust]

20. Down the totalitarian rabbit hole.

Do the GQPers making it illegal to record other Derek Chauvins, legalizing (and rewarding?) hit and run of protesters, disempowering voters, etc., realize they look a lot like the Chinese Communists taking over Hong Kong and doing away with people's freedoms there? I thought the GQP hated "big gubment."
