I can't not say anything

[Elhuero]

Ok, time to write a book because this is some bull shit.

A woman, standing in her front yard, is arrested for filming police.

She was released and the charges dropped.

then, when there was a neighborhood rally to support her the police showed up and using a ruler wrote parking tickets for every car more than 12 inches from the curb.

what the hell is going on here? how can any of this be justified?

[Scanker19]

Well.....

[stenz]

The first one "seems" ridiculous. The second vid is bullshit but the law's the law.

[Scanker19]

I don't buy the Law's the law argument. Their ruler wasn't certified to do parking enforcement and was made by chinese slave children for the purpose of making americans look dumb.

The law is not meant to be used in a personal vendetta against a citizen that might have gotten a cop in trouble for violating her rights. It is our right to police the police. Not every cop is a bad guy, most i have dealt with personally seem to have an okay attitude. All the cops i have worked with have been good guys. But there are cops that abuse their power, and these two videos show that.

[Byte Stryke]

you will do what I Say because I Have a Badge, a Gun and a Judge will believe me for those reasons!

This is the Police states of Amerika and you are Guilty unless someone happens to have videotape!
you know that charges would not have been dropped if there was no video.

/End STUPID cop-Bash

All I have too say about this is that every officer should be subject to recording devices at every turn. We are aren't we?

[Collegefour]

I have no problem with the public filming me on duty. Just don't get mad when I confiscate your camera/film because you have evidence on it![PoPo]

Corrected hyphen placement.

Many of the ass monkeys LEO's arrest need their asses stomped for many reasons. Resisting, kicking, spitting(especially if the ass had AIDS), punching, biting, not stopping resisting. I get that and I get that the more cops there are on the scene the less chance of anyone getting hurt... BUT I am not the enemy, when cops start forgetting there are law abiding American citizens out there then we have a serious problem.....I fear it is coming to that.... Not that I am afraid, I am afraid for our great country...

If you can't park your car within a foot of the curb then you don't deserve to be driving. 12 inches is a lot of room. Living downtown I park on the street sometimes. It makes it a lot tougher to parallel park when the asshole in front of you is a foot and a half off the curb. I wish the police would enforce this rule more often. It would be a great way for the city to generate a little extra income off of the retards of the community.

Should we remain calm also when the camera/film mysteriously gets lost or damaged on the way to the evidence locker? "I'm sorry your Honor, but the camera slipped out of my hand on the way down the stairs to log it in as evidence, but I assure you it only had pictures of me helping that grandma looking lady's cat off the roof for her."[Tooth]

And I would have no problem giving you a copy of the video with your copy of a warrant signed by a judge within jurisdiction.
:D

Getting tired of the arrogance of police. That son a bitch should have been kicked off the force. This isn't a police state, but when a cop believes he should execute orders on civilians for essentially shits and giggles there is a major problem here.

[Lex_Luthor]

Wow, that was a shame.

Big +1!

Evidence of what?

[BushMasterBoy]

It's a shame on the Albany, NY police, if I was their chief I'd be so embarassed! Anybody got any follow up on this story?

[fitz19d]

Hey Breather, that stand for mouth breather.....


EDIT: Ok this one does have it, he very politely gives her a reason for her need to retreat back further or inside. Also states what she was doing/said before it was on. She was given multiple chances and again explained when they don't have to. Seems a pretty clear case of a lawful order, one that if she was so concerned about she could have always come back later on but she wanted to make a show of it and try to cash in on it. (Wailing oh what's happening and being dramatic despite a minute and a half of warnings and explanation of consequences, just like with the don't tase me bro and every other instigator.)

She in the tv interviews jumps about how she felt she had to film it because as a black driver he was automatically being profiled and that somehow her film would prove it. (Seeing as iirc the guy was arrested, I doubt it was just a bs ticket for 1 over.)

Basically she was a lighter version of the other one's that have purposely set out to pick a fight with the cops as opposed to a completely innocent bystander. (Like you could argue for the big shooting a while back where the cop was pointing his gun at pedestrians who got in their car to leave which I think was BS.)

There's an smartphone app designed to record and anonymously upload encounters. Here is both sides of that:

http://www.policeone.com/police-technology/mobile-data/articles/3870504-iPhone-app-enables-secret-police-recording/

I think the phrasing on the police site pretty much sets the tone, "Cops have another thing to watch out for..." It seems to be a mindset that citizens recording police are automatically enemies that one needs to be aware of.

Clearly, a law needs to passed that recording anyone who is paid by the public, is legal to be video/audio recorded while performing their job. Hell, it should be mandatory equipment. Police already have audio mics that connect to their in-dash video system.

Most police are doing The Right Thing most of the time, just like the rest of humanity.

I agree that they should not be treating film as the enemy. Personally I would want vindication for doing things right. On the other hand I think there are a few different real concerns for having random people close up on your scene. While they are idly sitting by a shootout or 2nd suspect could appear. For the cops while making an arrest, someone walking up pretending to film could be an accomplice making a surprise attack to rescue their homie.

In the case of this lady, with the other material I've seen on it, I am not a fan as she was acting as a all black arrests are racially motivated instigating libtard.

Think of it like free speech, you have a right, and then you get some that try and abuse it like westboru babtist and the funeral protests. I believe in the right, but I'm still going to dislike those that abuse/use it maliciously.

People here sure like to b*tch about LEO's....
