The Texas legislature is trying to pass a law that will keep Texans from taking videos of police activities. Β This place is freakin crazy.

Yes, it's part of the whole Freedom of Speech thing. That doesn't mean you won't be arrested, beaten, spend time in jail, etc. The ugly reality is we are a nation of two laws. One that would get government types arrested, the other gets the rest of us arrested. It depends on where you are and who the officer is.

When you violate the US Constitution and the government cares, you typically get a felony charge. For example, the eighteenth amendment, got you felony charge for manufacturing, transporting, or selling booze.
The first Amendment is supposed to protect your right to videoing and sharing cop behavior. Any act on the part of the cop to stop you should get them a felony charge, but doesn't.
In the mid 30's they passed a big law violates the 2nd amendment with pretty much every facet. Both those who passed it and those who enforce it should be looking at some serious felony time behind bars, but that's not going to happen.
Article I of the Constitution grants legislative powers to Congress, but does not authorize them or any other branch to pass those powers on to any one else, yet it has long been routine for congress to authorize unelected bureaucrats right laws. As I understand it, most of the 750,000 or so laws you are required to obey were never brought up for a vote. This should result in felony charges by the busload, but it's not happening.
Locally we have an issue with government officials never taking their oath of office. With out taking that oath of office, they are not legally authorized to do their job and are supposed to be arrested if they attempt to do their job without taking their oath. When called on it, they say: "We didn't know." Have they never been told that ignorance is no defense against violating the law?

there's a rumor going around that the constitution is supposed to be the law for the government. Β seems more and more like just a myth...
