"Our law enforcement officials have a unique insight into our laws..."
You have GOT to be fucking kidding.
Florida Police Depts. Distributing False Legal Guidelines To Officers On Wiretapping Law
By Carlos Miller
Now we have proof that police are creating their own laws when it comes to wiretapping arrests.
A “legal bulletin” that was compiled by the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office and distributed to other law enforcement departments in the state is informing officers that they are within their legal rights to arrest citizens who record them, if they specifically state they do not wish to be recorded.
Nothing could be further from the truth, which is why not a single one of these arrests ever made it to trial, much less a conviction.
Still, police are stubbornly clinging to the advice listed in the January 2010 bulletin, including the North Port Police Department in Sarasota County, whom arrested Photography is Not a Crime reader Steve Horrigan on wiretapping charges in January.
Horrigan was jailed for 24 hours, but has yet to be formally charged. And police have refused to return the cell phone he used to record them nor have they released the video.

You might actually be right, just not in the way you think you are.
(Now, you DO know who Carlos Miller is, don't you?)
Of course, lifes experience will tell a different story:
That many many LEOS really DON'T know the laws.
Of course, you could always mosey on up to GD and let them know that the sanford PD has a "a unique insight into our laws".
Post a new thread in GD entitled "The sanford PD has a unique insight into our laws"
Go ahead, I tripple dog dare you.
Or did you only mean "law enforcement officials" that agree with your view on guns?
