These videos do not exist without ignorant cops violating citizens'rights


You mean like the pic in the WaPo story where a masked filmer was literally 4 feet away from a LE officer interacting with a traffic stop, fully garbed with a camera and mask....
WAIT! Stop the press, I just looked at the WaPo article and they changed the lead picture which displayed what I described. I don't want to take credit, but someone must have thought that picture was too provocative. And they would be right.

Just to be clear, I'm fully on board with folks filming an arrest or a domestic dispute, etc. I just have a problem with cameras in close proximity to a law enforcement engagement. Let them do their job.

And no I'm not a cop and I have more bad experiences with cops than I do good. But I'm getting older and less mischievous, so the past cop encounters in the past several years are like 3 out of 4 good, the 4th being a dumb roll through stop sign ticket that I'd say was, uh, triggered by an early siren (entrapment by a young and eager cop).

This wall of text is how I would define tantrum, buttercup.
two quotes from you, bootlicking buttercup.

1st amendment audits serve a very good purpose: if nothing else, they show the free citizen that, while the individual officer himself might not be the actual enemy, his office means he's no friend of the free man.

"just following orders" is not an excuse for tyranny, e.g. nazism, marxism, etc., and you hear that phrase all the time on first amendment audits.

but according to you and your illiteracy, I've already typed out too much for you to comprehend, buttercup.

I dont disagree with this at all.

But some cops do not want to be filmed from any distance and will use intimidation, threat of arrest or even arrest to prevent it.

Those cops are bullies and deserve to lose their qualified immunity
