Jesse Bright is a lawyer who also drives Uber; when Wilmington, North Carolina police Sgt. Kenneth Becker stopped him and insisted that he stop recording the stop because of a “new law,” Bright kept on recording and kept on insisting that he was allowed to do so.
The resulting video went viral, and resulted in Becker being censured by his chief, who published a Facebook post affirming that citizens have the right to record officers on duty, and inviting them to do so.
