strongly worded letter to the Baltimore Police Department (BPD) on Monday,
reprimanding it for insufficiently supporting the right of citizens to record
video of officers on duty — a move that suggests the federal government is

unlawful harassment and detention of a man named Christopher Sharp — just one of
many similar incidents across the US involving police officers encroaching on
the right of citizens to record their public
duties. --- Political correctness is an effort to abrogate the
