A lawsuit filed in federal court by the American Civil Liberties Union of Indiana on Tuesday challenges a new state law that prohibits citizens from being within 25 feet of law enforcement officers.

The law, which went into effect on July 1, is called a violation of constitutional rights by the ACLU, which claims that citizens have a right to “observe and record the police.”

        25’ is a good distance to stop audio recording, unless your mic got a zoom too.

        Dirty cops are happy about this law. The funny thing about Indiana is that all they have is dirty cops.
