Illegal to film COPS!

this whole episodic nightmare reminds me of a quote from a chumbawamba song, "if we don't break rules, nothing will change, if we don't the law it will always stay the same, step out of line, increase your demands, if we don't break the law, we just go round and round and round and round..."

The jist is, if they really make this illeagel, fuck them, film them anyways, get enough people involved that they out number the naysayers. do it guerilla style, do it wearing balaclavas or ski masks, if california was to do this, it would make me want to tape those pigs even more to see what secrets they are trying to hide from the public. fuck their consent. I realize not everyone wants to be arrested for their actions, but in some cases it is necessary... but i suppose that's another thread. (lightbulb in head)

 

The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

This is what I was talking about. In the case of the video above had he stood across the street there would be nothing they could legally do. Had they arrested him he would have a case against them. It's a matter of giving them "probable cause". While probable cause may not be enough for a conviction it is enough for them to make an arrest. In the case of the video above the probable cause is the statute against filming on federal property.

The fact that he continued to film and later posted it on YouTube shows that there was no violation of his 1st amendment rights.

 

ahhh now I understand the disconnect...you are talking about that specific situation and I am talking about the three states and their willful trampling of the peoples rights.....duh, federal property vs. public property is a whole other can of worms

 

That video is taken COMPLETELY out of context! Plus, don't you know how hard it is to be a cop? Like, harassing jaywalkers then punching them in the face is, like, so fucking hard, you know!

Now think about this then: If that footage wasn't filmed then we wouldn't have such issues with ppl questioning police integrity. It only undermines the public's faith in the pigs when scenes of police brutality are filmed. This situation should not continue! ban all filming of cops, let our good officers get on with their jobs of protecting property rights and ruling class interests. Now fuck off you bunch of hippie commie pinko bastards!!!

 

That made my day...

 

So correct me if I'm wrong here, but if you were a victim of police brutality, in above said states, and you caught the whole thing on film, and went to court and used the tape as evidence of police overreaction, would they dismiss is completely as evidence and charge you extra for having the tape?

If that wasn't clear enough, does what they tape portray become obsolete altogether? If you show the cop beating the shit out of you, would they even, for a minute take into consideration what the tape shows?

 

Dude, fucking br00tal. I feel like moving to these states just to start a protest against this law.....which ironicaly might turn into police brutality....
