Recording police fuckups is now a punishable offense...in the eyes of fucktard cops

[TeeKup]

2 weeks a go a gay man was nearly beat to death in the town just south of here. A town that's notorious for cops being around every corner. It's no so much a conspiracy against the police more so it is a lack of faith.

Peace Officer? Begging your pardon lancer, don't sugar coat who and what they are. If necessary in defending and upholding what they are paid to do, more often than not they are willing to use force, in America at least...

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.

Here in Canada "Peace Officer" refers to the entire spectrum of law enforcement officers, from Fish and Wildlife officers all the way to your regular Police officers and Sheriffs. That's all I was trying to get across.

So why didn't she just go inside instead of provoking the officer? Like I said, once a cop tells you that he's concerned for his safety (even if it's a bullshit call like this was) you should respect it and back off. If, for example some regular citizens just tackled some hopped up kid that just robbed a store and was running away in front of your house, and the citizens politely asked you to move back cause they didn't feel safe with you filming them you'd probably do it. This chick was BEGGING to get dragged off by the Police by literally ignoring them.

Why the fuck does she need to go inside? On what grounds does the officer have the right to tell her where on her own fucking property she has the right to be positioned? Heads up, your example is inapplicable because it's taking place outside of privately owned property. Take your straw man back to the corn field.

She broke the law by disobeying a direct order from a Police officer while he was acting in an official capacity. I'm pretty sure that's a law.

She was on her own fucking property. It's not a fucking lawful order. End of fucking story. An officer's rein has areas of limitation. Him telling her to displace herself to another part of her private property had no merit.

Again, so why didn't she just record from inside of her house? It's safer there for her AND the officers. The officers may have felt unsafe with her where she was because they didn't want her to get hurt by the potentially psychopathic serial killer they just pulled a traffic stop on. What if he had a gun and there was a gun-fight? She could have been injured or killed?

Literally every situation you can think up, she would be better off inside of her house.

The fucking cop just used that "herp derp i fear for my safety" excuse because he didn't like her recording him.

It's okay Canada, you don't need law enforcement!

And it's not like average citizens would do anything to protect a dying man on the street. It's called the bystander effect; we assume someone else will take responsibility if there are more than one persons standing around the scene. It's just human nature, sadly.

Model anarchist right here. So paranoid and doesn't put any faith in those serving to protect him while he sleeps.

Model delusional here.
So blind of current events and doesn't open his mind to the possibility that the forces might have corrupt members.

What a shallow comment. Do you honestly think I think all of law enforcement is always right? Coudl you have possibly thought I might be defending the good law enforcement in this nation? Go read The Innocent Man: Murder and Injustice in a Small Town. The detectives and law enforcement in that novel will make you rip your hair out. But do these shitty law enforcement officers in that book alone cause me to think all law enforcement is shit? Obviously not. There are great officers out there, the majority of officers, working to keep the public as a whole safe. Yeah there are those moments of shit when bad cops do not do their jobs, but how many of those are there in comparison to how many good scenarios because of law enforcement?

Now if this thread was titled "Recording police fuckups by crooked cops is now a punishable offense.....by those crooked cops" then maybe this thread would be a legitimate case. Then again, that would be boring and people know it's true and there is no debate, so then there would be no thread.

I was talking about if the citizens caught up with the guy in front of some private property like this chick was filming on.

Until you show me something that says you can legally completely ignore what a Police officer tells you to do just because you're standing on your own property, well, I'm pretty sure there's some law or addendum that lets them do that. They sure as hell can here in Canada, if anything I'd assume there's a similar law in the USA since it makes sense. You Americans take infringement on your rights way to seriously, seriously, fuck you and your rights when someones personal safety is involved.

[Kornman00]

You Americans take infringement on your rights way to seriously

We (or at least the ones with half a brain) take gov't and gov't appointed official's action seriously. They're the ones who are suppose to be defenders of American rights and freedoms, not smokescreens for other agendas.

Although I do agree with Freelancer that many Americans take infringement on their rights overboard on a lot of occasions, I do agree with Korn that we should take our government's actions seriously. I applaud the good cops in our nation and I will continue to remind people that they actually exist among all of the bad ones. Especially after reading The Innocent Man, I would love nothing more if the crookedness in law enforcement were to end.
