Not really sure what to put here…I usually put relevant excerpts, but that got this post deleted for doing that

    For the sake of argument… if I hear you beating your dog, should I break down the door to stop it?

    Yes, I could call 911, but by the time they arrive the sounds would stop and they’d have no probable cause. I could go in and steal the dog or even just record a video right now. What is the ethical thing to do?

        If only the OP was allowed to present those recording and videos taken through their magical pocket device in court.

          There’s these people called the police, may be you present it to them, if they don’t do anything may be try getting that changed instead of breaking the law yourself

            You know about Ag-Gag laws? They lobby with your money for such laws if you consume animal products.
