QUESTION
Is it illegal to film police in North Carolina? Also, if the court system got my name wrong on a charge, can I bypass it?

More details to this question:
If they got your name wrong, clearly it isn't you, therefore how can I still get charged with a false name?

You selected "Nebraska" as the State when you asked your Question. However, there is nothing in the information you provided to indicate that Nebraska is involved in your question in any way. I am not licensed to practice law in North Carolina and, as such, I cannot provide an answer to your question. I would suggest re-asking your Question and selecting "North Carolina" as the State rather than "Nebraska."

If the police got your name wrong on a charge, they can amend the charge and still prosecute you. IT is not illegal to film police froma public place. It might be illegal to hide in a private place, such inside the police building, or secretly install a camera inside a building to surreptitiously film police.

You should direct this question to a criminal attorney, not personal injury.

You probably should pose your first question to a lawyer from North Carolina. They get names wrong all the time and it is possible to have a name changed on a charge while the case is pending.

I never heard of that type of crime and I would get a good attorney it may be unconstitutional. ANd yes they can still charge you even if they got the name wrong. You have to get an attorney and fight the matter.

Cops don't like being filmed or recorded as they get caught bending/breaking the laws themselves. Too BAD!

People make mistakes. If you don't keep your court date you may inherit the wind. Go to court on court date, have your lawyer argue the citation or warrant is invalid be cause the name is wrong. Clear up the mess so it cant get worse for you. don't ever "bypass" a court date.

I am not certain of your circumstances, but you should be very careful about "bypassing" a charge or court. See a lawyer!

Yeah. They will probably charge you with giving a false name to police. If they tell you to disburse, your camera does not protect you from charges. Generally, it is not illegal to film the police in public.

They can amend the complaint. Generally it is totally legal to film the police as they perform their function in public, even if they do not like it.

Something is wrong because I constantly get questions that are obviously unrelated to Missouri law (for example, the question below). Can we fix this problem so that questions like these will go to a lawyer in North Carolina?
