TVNL Comment: It is funny how Republicans have no problems with cameras all over the place, invading our privacy. Traffic cameras, security cameras, recording every phone call anyone ever makes to any customer support center for any company or institution., they are just fine with Republicans. But if you want to document what a Republican politicians says...forget it...if you want to record cops overstepping their authority...forget it. Republican hypocrisy has no limits.
