NC deputy goes berserk, snatches phones from family after recording proves she ‘lied’

[phantom power]

A North Carolina officer was caught on video allegedly lying about a retired Marine combat instructor “being aggressive” in his own home, and then took the cell phones away from his family members who were trying to record the encounter.

Retired United States Marine combat instructor Carlos Jaramillo provided the blog Photography Is Not A Crime with video of Onslow County Sheriff’s Deputy Natalie Barber responding to his home over the weekend over a dispute between neighbors.

At some point, Barber and Jaramillo began arguing about whether he was legally obligated to provide her with his identification. He offered her a government-issued Veterans Affair card, but the deputy insisted on seeing a driver’s license.

That’s when Jaramillo informed Barber that he was going to record the incident “for my safety.”

“For my safety, put the phone down!” Barber yells in the video. “I’m telling you to put the phone down!”

Barber can be seen grabbing the phone from Jaramillo. She then handcuffed Jaramillo, but refused to tell him why he was being detained.

When Jaramillo’s son tries to begin recording, Barber also takes his phone. But the son was able to record the remainder of the encounter from inside the house using his mother’s phone.

4. It's against the law (for cop) to interfere with evidence of a crime

In some jurisdictions they get you on recording video because it records audio. I don't think there is anywhere in US you can't photograph (stills) uniformed police in action.

5. In your own home all people should be free to film however and whoever they want

The eavesdropping laws that are used do not apply if an officer enters your house.

6. I wonder about if this is true?

If I have a security camera in my home that records video and audio and don't tell an officer, in a state that prohibits recording without both parties being informed, whether or not that recording is allowed. It should be but I wonder if it would get into court including the audio or be fought by the DA.

Similarly, If I have a Russian style dash cam with audio and record a traffic stop is that admissible? The cop's footage would be but would mine?

8. you did read that jaramillo TOLD that cretin that he would be recording??

9. I was thinking about the law in general

Whether in states with two party consent having an existing surveillance cam in home or car which regularly recorded daily events if that sort of video would be exempt from a wiretapping law.
