Man charged after videotaping police

Since when is it illegal to videotape activity that takes place on your own property? Hmm?

Michael Gannon, 49, of 26 Morgan St., was arrested Tuesday night, after he brought a video to the police station to try to file a complaint against Detective Andrew Karlis, according to Gannon’s wife, Janet Gannon, and police reports filed in Nashua District Court.

Police instead arrested Gannon, charging him with two felony counts of violating state eavesdropping and wiretap law by using an electronic device to record Karlis without the detective’s consent.

This is going to turn into a massive black eye for the Nashua police. New Hampshire is supposed to be one of freest places left to live in the United States. It is the home of the Free State Project. I’m sure this story will have members in an uproar.
