Man Charged for Videotaping the Police

This is a strange story, and my reactions to it range from outraged to simply disturbed.

Brian D. Kelly didn't think he was doing anything illegal when he used his videocamera to record a Carlisle police officer during a traffic stop. Making movies is one of his hobbies, he said, and the stop was just another interesting event to film....
Kelly, 18, of Carlisle, was arrested on a felony wiretapping charge, with a penalty of up to 7 years in state prison.
His camera and film were seized by police during the May 24 stop, he said, and he spent 26 hours in Cumberland County Prison until his mother posted her house as security for his $2,500 bail.

The same article goes on to explain that just before arresting Kelly, the police officer advised him that HE WAS BEING TAPED BY THE CRUISERS VIDEO CAMERA. In other words, it is entirely appropriate for police officers to videotape suspects, but entirely inappropriate for suspects to tape police officers. Isn't there somethinf fundamentally wrong with this picture?
