True but those that are supposed to maintain law and order are supposed to be able to restrain themselves from getting pissed and reacting wrongly. A guy with a loaded gun that is supposed to enforce the law is also supposed to serve and protect the public. By reacting in a negative way he is neither serving nor protecting the public. It is all about how they are taught to react and deal with the public. One sees this in the US but rarely in Europe or Asia (not saying that it does not happen but most likely far less likely to happen in Asia than the US). Bottom line is the US consists of States that are Police ran. Unfortunately this is quite sad.

He will say that she was fleeing a crime scene and resisting arrest. And to some extent it is true. If she attacked another person, then there is a good chance she will attack a cop to get away from being arrested.

Also, should professional news reporters be treated the same way as this kid? And should citizens who do not wear a badge and uniform be justified in their actions that mirror the attitude and reaction of the cop? Was the kid doing anything illegal? Should one who is not violating the law have to endure such control measures? If this were the normal reaction of police, then it is certainly a police state. I would hope that this is an example of just one rogue cop that needs to be exposed as the kid was simply trying to do. Last edited by scottwww; 05-11-2011 at 07:27 AM.. |

Videotaping in public is not legal in all states. Rather not videotaping, but recording sound, which in this case clearly happened.
For the record, fuck this cop. Everyone has to show professionalism in their respective field, and if you are given power by the public, it's even more important that you don't overstep your bounds.

Cameras that the government has set up in public places are for security purpose and the videos will stay away from public eyes. You filming me scratching my balls in public will end up on youtube.

Is it fair to presume that government video cameras in public places are about documenting crime while it occurs? Was this kid potentially documenting crime while it occurred? Apparently this cop had a reputation already. The kid succeeded in showing why.

Believe or not, they could get him for WIRE TAPPING instead. This is becoming a more and more common charge.

The police has the rights to arrest as long as they have evidence or reason to believe a crime was committed. In this case, the officer himself is the witness to a crime - so he claimed. Whether the reason for the arrest is valid or not, that's another issue. But technically, I don't think he was unlawfully detained as he was told that he was being arrested and the reason why. There are so many excuses the police can make up to detain you - i.e., like if they believe you are attempting to hurt yourself, they can detain you without arresting you.

it should definitely be totally legal to film cops
if they're doing their jobs properly, then they have nothing to worry about. if they're abusing they're power, then it's a big problem, and it's good to have evidence.

What a pathetic cop.. He should probably choose a more appropriate profession like a dish washer. Little interaction with the public.
No Miranda rights and interrogating a minor without a parent or legal guardian present? Way to do a 180 on the law and break it instead of enforcing it.

So what did we see in that first video? ONLY what the guy wanted you to see. This is the big problem with video "evidence." Just because it is video doesn't mean it isn't biased or easily taken out of context, but people want to believe it wholesale.
Maybe the guy was badgering the cop for 15 minutes prior to starting the tape, asking about the raids, trying to get a rise out of the cop. Maybe the cop tells the guy "knock it off, those issues are currently under investigation, and if you keep pestering me about it, I'll arrest for interfering with an on-going investigation." Guy walks off for a few minutes, then comes with his camera to antagonize the cop, and gets his "I was illegally detailed evidence" crap. Not saying that is what happened, but just keep context in mind when viewing these videos, and that just because it is video doesn't necessarily represent the truth, or what actually happened. Sometimes yes, but when video is taken with a clear objective in mind (getting harassed/arrested) you have to wonder.....

It is a fed offense to photograph a federal agent or any federal building without expressed written permission. While a cop is no fed, one can see how this can get in a grey area.
Regardless, if one wants to see a caop do something dum, hide the camera and keep rolling!!! |
