God bless these guys for what they do. I can't imagine being a cop, seeing and knowing these type of videos exist and still falling for it. There exists a video like this of a guy fucking with a cop at a gas station, I believe. The cop was the chillest motherfucker you could imagine. Answered all the dudes questions and let the guy film his equipment and all. Even offered a ridealong to further help the guy understand things from the cop perspective. I tried to find it on the tubes but I couldn't. If cops would react this way more often there wouldn't be anything to film. No content, no channel. Videos like the OP and reading cop replies here have really opened my eyes, not for the better.
Yes officer, I know you don't care. |

Quoted: Well, Cops employ all these tactics and more to lure people into committing crimes. Turnabout is fair play. Also, auditors serve as a way to educate officers on important things like, oh, I don't know... ...recording Police is perfectly legal! View Quote Now, we just need some conservatively funded groups to go do these same tactics on the FEDs, like FBI, ATF, DHS... Barney Fife is kind of easy to lure into stupidity, I would bet the Feds are even easier... |

Quoted: I see a similarity to some police replies in threads here. You see two kinds of police criticism here. 1. Guys who are generally pro police but criticising a certain officers actions. 2. Guys who are clearly ACAB and "Bring bodybags" etc The latter are like auditors. They just want an argument. Yet, like auditors, the police seem unable to just ignore them. View Quote You flew over a lot of the country getting from your one of your examples to the other. There is a continuum. Not two clean camps. You forgot straight up boot lickers, and guys who are generally unfavorable but have never even considered the idea of bodybags because they are not fucking nuts. In GD, the latter get warnings for the same thing the former posts with impunity. |

"Stop doing what I don't like or you can go to our lock up when I make up something to charge you with after putting my fat vienna sausages all over you."
This was a good audit. The most legally protected freedoms of speech, travel and assembly in the world... exist on paper only. They disappear like structures in the mist when the Top Men arrive to help you. |

Quoted: I still can't believe these videos keep popping up, especially involving a lieutenant. What more does it take for them to understand the basic rule of law, "Right to be, means right to see" and in turn gives you the right to record. Auditor or Joe Schmoe, it makes ZERO difference. View Quote That does NOT apply in PA. Forget about recording video in public, its wiretapping. Fucking retarded. |

Quoted: ... I don’t want neutered cops, I want honorable ones. I don’t put a “hero” label on cops and I don’t want them to hinder someone’s rights, but the lack of social cohesion is making this kind of shit happen. The fabric of American society is loose and these faggots are pulling the exposed threads just to watch them come undone. Cops, by and large, are trying to keep the damn thing tied and still come home at night. Its going to end either in a police state, or anarchy- neither of which will be a productive result. Sad. View Quote You want honroable cops that will protect your rights by using unreasonable force to stop first amendment protected activities. Got it. |

If I were a cop, I would get more satisfaction out of their reaction to my indifference vs getting all jacked up about a couple of idiots recording trying to bait me into bad actions for clicks. Especially with cameras everywhere.

It is hard to believe re-training will do anything.
There is no way, in this day and age, that a functioning adult does not know you can legally film in public spaces. It has been covered to death over the last 10 years. Until they start firing these asshats who want everyone to "respect my authoriti!" very little will change. |

View Quote I agree with this. In my experience, the guys (Cops) that were wound tight in their personal life were the ones that almost always took the bait. Both suffered in my estimation, except one usually left pleased. I found entertaining them to be a colossal waste of my time. Border Patrol checkpoints were the worst, always someone looking to argue. Not today mister, not today. Have a beautiful day Sir. Move on along please… |

Quoted: “Look what I can do” “I’m not touching you” He was looking for a rise and officer donut took the bait. They’re not “raising awareness” or furthering the 1a. Assholes just trying to think up what they can do to get under someone’s skin while still remaining a sweet little angel in the eyes of the judge. No different than the smarmy asshole at the bar doing everything he can to earn a slap from you so he can call the police and have you arrested for fun. The country was better when the cops beat them with a rubber hose. In the real world, mostly where guns arnt the norm, real criminals know this and play it along too until they victimize you. They know just how much shit they can get away with that you can’t call the cops about and you take it, then they sucker punch you as soon as you let your guard down and run off with your shit. Or they stomp around your fence line “I ain’t doin nothin or breakin the law, call the cops- they tell you too.” Then as soon as you get bored watching them, or have to leave for work, boom hop the fence and steal your shit or break your shit for daring to disrespect them. I don’t want neutered cops, I want honorable ones. I don’t put a “hero” label on cops and I don’t want them to hinder someone’s rights, but the lack of social cohesion is making this kind of shit happen.

View Quote Or....and hear me out. If they see some people just milling about, they observe for a moment or two to make sure there is nothing nefarious going on, then they go on with their day. You may not want neutered cops, but cops that actually serve the public would sure be nice. Acting like hall monitor is not serving the public. |

Any oral communication uttered by a person possessing an expectation that such communication is not subject to interception under circumstances justifying such expectation. In a public space that expectation does not exist. Filming an officer in public would fall under "no expectation of privacy". |

Quoted: That does NOT apply in PA. Forget about recording video in public, its wiretapping. Fucking retarded. View Quote The very first case I read about was in PA. A guy video taping (back when you needed magnetic tape) a police checkpoint from a private residence's front yard got arrested for wiretapping or invasion of privacy and the federal courts said no, pay the man. IIRC the local courts criminally convicted him and got overturned. Then we have the Glik case in MA: https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2015/04/police-must-respect-right-citizens-record-them |

I saw one auditor trying to do this. The cops came by asked the guys first name, just so they knew how to address him. The guy started all the bs about names, the cop literally said " I only asked your name so I could say have a nice day XXXX ( guys name ) as I left ". The cops walked away, the guy kept up the BS and a few names thrown at the cops. He then turned the camera off and looked at me smoking a cig ( yes I know ) and said that this town sucked, he walked over and got in his car and left.

However it only takes one Like the one poster near the top of page 2, I had fun with some cops that rolled by us as we were drinking at a small town airport after finishing a day of jumping. One thing led to another, and I was able to say at work that I'd been drinking a beer in the back of a cop car. I mean, we were just talking, and I was curious about their cars, but it's still fun to leave out minor details like the cops were just talking to us in the middle of their patrol. No guns, IDs, or anything fun. Been so long I can't even remember, but I assume we introduced ourselves by name? ::EDIT:: To be more specific that I mean assholes, not just one type of asshole. |

*Those who wish to honorably protect and serve the public. *Those who do it to serve themselves and their own needs. Guess which one makes up the vast majority of the profession? |
