You need to remove your emotion from this debate and look at it from a strictly legal view. This is exactly what the cop failed to do


Emotion? if you say so. My point is people whine about the cops for ridiculous things. Far too often.

Ridiculous things like beating innocent people for not showing "respect" and killing innocent people through no-knock raids that go to the wrong house? Our police forces are not supposed to be the Stasi. Some of you appear to believe that they are and that citizens are supposed to be 100% deferential to them.

And some will argue that cops violate peoples rights far too often. Some complaints are ridiculous but some are not. Upholding and defending peoples constitutional rights is the cops job and the most important one.

Yes, they do whine about ridiculous things. Raiding the wrong house and shooting the dog, shooting a teen boy to death for answering the door with a Wii controller, kicking down doors in military gear and M4's for nine grams of weed. Those are all ridiculous things.

Do those sound like ridiculous things? Obviously I'm not talking about instances like that. I mean threads like this. Some of you appear to believe you can just screw with cops while they are doing their jobs and expect to not get questioned. Probably Wall Street Occupiers, too.

You are mistaken if you truly believe that we have freedom.

I said "screw with cops while they are doing their jobs", not "move around freely while they do their jobs".

Dude was a butthole, I wish the cop would have punched him in his douchebag trolling face.

Questioned is fine, but is that what some were defending here? I don't think so. And I'm hardly a Wall Street occupier. I'm a corporate lawyer who works on Wall Street.

He wasn't screwing around with the cop. Period. Why is that such a difficult concept for you to understand? There is no legal expectation of privacy for the cop in this situation, there is no legal justification to pull over the guy with the camera, there is no crime for contempt of cop. The cop could have ignored the driver but his authoritah didn't let him it seems.

If the police are in public making an arrest, should you be allowed to watch from a safe distance and take pictures/video? I think many people in this thread would say no. This is like the classic police command. "Move along, nothing to see here."

He might have gotten away with stopping him to see what he was doing. He should have let him go the second he figured out who the kid was and what he was doing. Legally and just being smart. Don't give IRL trolls what they want.

Mind explaining the distinction? From the video(all we have to go by), he didn't encroach upon the crime scene. He went around the block more than Chunk preferred. Again, not a crime. Some of you are just itching to deep throat authority. Be an American for shits sake.
