re: Another person arrested for filming the police: mild-moderate edition

I didn't watch the video, but these situations sort of make me feel like a hypocrite. While I don't want to be filmed while doing my job, I have no issues with citizens filming police interactions.

I work in outpatient surgery and parents often want to film their kids being discharged following IV sedation. I need to have the parents' attention to explain any further post-op instructions and also, the kid usually uses the camera as a cue to over-act and cause problems. But it feels so wrong to ask them politely not to video things because it seems like I'm being sketchy.

I realize what I do is completely different than what a cop does.
