Legal Question in Constitutional Law in Pennsylvania
In the past few months, our family has had the police dispatched to our home by neighbors; There have never been any charges filed or any type of citation. I believe that the calls are based solely on skin color - but that isn't the question - just context.
On every occasion, the police responding are confrontational, intimidating, rude, and curse at my family. Without a recording of these events - and there have been many - a simple video/audio recording would allow us to demonstrate police misconduct.
While it is legal to videotape in public and it is legal to videotape an official performing official duties, I am concerned about videotaping in my home without a precedence. I could refuse entry to the officers when they arrive and then film outside of my home, but believe that this would only make matters worse.
