Motorcyclist Charged for Recording

A Harford County man now faces up to five years in prison after he recorded a bizarre traffic stop last month in Harford County.

Anthony Graber was riding his motorcycle with a camera attached to his helmet recording his ride.

It happened near the Riverside exit of I-95. A Maryland State trooper in an unmarked car pulled over Graber for speeding. The trooper is seen in a YouTube video that Graber posted, jumping out of the car and tells Graber "Get off the motorcycle, get off the motorcycle! Get off the motor cycle, State Police."

The trooper is seen pulling his gun immediately after getting out of the unmarked car. It's not until five seconds after he exits the car that he identifies himself a Maryland State trooper.

I can't believe the state's attorney would press charges.

They would have to know that this would be a PR nightmare.

I'm more concerned with them backing Mr. Unmarked pulling his sidearm for a speeding violation.

Well he shouldn't have been doing anything wrong and he wouldn't have gotten pulled over.

Uh, random dude in street clothes runs up to you and pulls a gun on you? How is that legal?

If an unmarked car pulled in front of me blocking me, I would back up too. This is gonna be a clusterfuck for all involved.

It's ok for police to record traffic stops but it's not ok for citizens to do so? Give me a fucking break.

We were just discussing doing this on another forum. A local trooper has a history of making rude and even racist remarks to bike riders he has pulled over.

I cannot believe that it would be illegal to record it. I can't believe officers can be such dicks.

One of our local officers just got off unpaid suspension for firing 2 shots at a car that pulled away from a traffic stop.

What the hell? Since when is it illegal to record a traffic stop?

Sounds like the state is all butt-hurt because their foot soldier got caught doing something illegal.

It's not okay to record AUDIO. at least that's what the video said. :idk:

Totally buying a helmet cam.
