Legal experts took issue this week with a proposal to create a new felony in Maine when someone records a serious crime occurring but fails to report it to the police immediately.
The bill, under consideration by the Criminal Justice and Public Safety Committee, arose after a constituent complained to state Sen. Matt Pouliot, R-Augusta, about people recording shootings, accidents and other incidents for social media audiences rather than phoning 911.
