If you provoke and don't follow the sane requests of an officer, like if they ask you to do something that isn't bonkers, then they have the ability to tell you you're being a dumbshit. Be respectful and put the camera down. If it means that much to you, go inside your house and film them. It's not so much you should respect their request because of whether or not you think it's bullshit, but simply because they are an officer that is probably signed up to protect you.

What is with everyone and having some conspiracy that cops are out to fuck your life up? This whole thread is stupid because it's so condition and doesn't even account for most of the cops that are working to keep us all safe while we sleep at night.
