Some folks don't care to be contacted by a gun toting badge wearing uniformed poorly educated goon for no good reason. The cop was intimidating the photographer for having the chutzpah to film the police in public, getting a tart response.

Police should know it & quit copping (pun intended) attitudes when people exercise their rights in this area. BTW, the executioner on death row is 'nice' too!
Good Job, I think this police just wanted to offer information for your journalism in the event that you had questions though. Be careful not to become what many police are your self. There are some honest good cops, this may have been one.
@1775novten yea, i guess you're right. I don't like this attitude cops have thinking they're so mighty and superior when they are our servants to protect us
Police need to understand that when the people finally feel that they have had enough, that its them who will be between the average pissed off American and the almost dead politician. Think about it you ignorant fucks!!! Is that where you really want to be?
Officer Bass of the Plano Police Dept is a fucking idiot. I was walking on the street and he asked to see my ID, under no suspicion what so ever, well I didn't have it because I was actually in front of MY OWN HOUSE. What the Fuck !!! Mind your own business Officer Fucking Bass - ASS.
I don't care if this guy seems confrontational. We the people NEED people who challenge the police. We NEED people to make the govt uncomfortable. We have to keep the govt in check and stuff like this helps. KNOW YOUR RIGHTS
Ridiculously, needlessly, confrontational. This incident does a terrible disservice to people who are *actually* harassed by police. The narrator even calls him a member of the "blue light gang," indicating that no matter what this officer did, he was automatically going to be characterized as a bad guy. People can simply dismiss this video - because the person who made it clearly had an agenda.
@obscuredtruth Actually you're the one trying to tell people how to think. The "Blue Light Gang" label is proof of that. You're taking a conversation with a polite, professional officer, and trying to convince people that he did something wrong. He never even asked the person behind the camera for ID. The officer simply made contact with him, and he was a heck of a lot less confrontational, and more polite, than the person behind the camera.
@obscuredtruth Oops that should have been "what to think". I'm the one trying to get people to think rationally here. I'm a cop's best friend until he tramples on someone's rights, then I'm his worst enemy.
Dude you're a complete asshole looking for a confrontation with the police. That officer couldn't have been any more polite when dealing with you. Grow up, get a life, and SHOW SOME FUCKING RESPECT.
Dude, are you KIDDING ME?! This cop wasn't doing ANYTHING TO YOU! I can understand being a dick to an officer who is violating your rights, but this guy was simply asking you what you were doing. You're a fucking dick man and you're so fucking disrespectful. If you stay out of trouble, you will never have to QUESTION A POLICE OFFICER! And if you EVER have to answer to a police officer, you should show some respect! JESUS
"What's going to happen when more people challenge the authority of the state?" You'll either end up in jail or seriously injured. Police officers save lives by protecting the public from disasters and putting criminals behind bars. They have real authority and you won't get it taken away by asking dumbass questions. That 25 year old police officer has more authority and responsibility than you've ever had in your life. You humiliated yourself. You should take this down.
The thing about this, the filmer is being a dick and the officer is being polite and doing his job. Maybe the motorist was speeding or had an unsafe vehicle. Don't bait cops who aren't doing anything wrong. It makes you look like an ass.
Wow... dude the cop was just asking you if you needed help and was just curious why you were filming him. Didn't seem like he was trying to stop you at all, he even said he would leave if you didn't need any assistance. You just made yourself look like a fucking douche trying to be a smart ass.
i was filming a cop one and he came up to me and just nicely asked what i was doing and if everything was ok and went on with his bussines.he was just being a concerned officer and so was this cop he was juts doing his job
THE OFFICER WAS ASKING YOU IF YOU NEEDED ASISTANCE YOU #%#@. The second you finally took the pole out of your ass and said what almost sounded like a no but was actually yet another slap in the face he left.
OH AND ONE MORE THING... even if the officer striped searched you in public I promise you NOONE will come to your rescue no matter what the police to civilian ratio is.

Hahah, love it, I bet he went home and kicked the cat and punched his wife from the pent up anger of that incident. I've the good side and bad side of Plano PD, but in the country it's a whole lot better. I hate driving in Plano and moved because of the cops in fact. Plano will lose population over them and the crazy low speed limits they have. Hell I can't put it in neutral and drive 30, 35,40 which is what most of the limits are. Now they are adopting laser cam radar.
I like this video a lot better than the "Federal Reserve Police Tells Reporter To Stop Filming" video, which has most of the video NOT filming the Federal Reserve Building or the ignorant officer.
"...a blue light gang member attempting to extract money from an unlucky driver whose actions caused no harm."
Or, in non-loaded language, a cop giving a speeding ticket.
I don't like the police and I abhor the traffic laws, but you're only hurting yourself and your cause when you talk like that. And bugging the police when they're only following procedure is stupid. You WANT them to follow the law, right? Stop harassing them when they're actually doing it for once!
LOL - you are a complete douchebag. What would happen with no police would be anarchy. Go back to liberal college and have your opinions until you have to go out in the world and learn for real.
@obscuredtruth You have no idea what you are talking about. "Police have no duty to show up??" Come on "journalist"...do your job. Read Art. 2.13 of the Texas Code of Criminal Procedure...better yet, read the whole code so then maybe you'll have a better idea as to what you are talking about. Regardless, I will show up if you call and protect you, your property and family.
@kristofwanderer1 Deny reality all you want, but Warren v. D.C. is only one of hundreds of examples to show that police have no RESPONSIBILITY to protect ANYONE (but your government masters)
Would you come to my house and "protect me" from growing harmless plants? Or how about expired prescriptions? If your a sheriff, I'm sure you would "help me" by throwing me from my home when the city wants to steal it to ensure your salary is paid.
@jpd782 Sorry, but that's simply not true. That's the propaganda the government would like you to believe. The truth is, police have no duty to protect.You can call 911 and they don't even have to show up.
Don't believe me? Look for yourself, search "police have no duty to protect"
@jpd782 This seems like another talking point that ignores reality. The fact is they are just about the ONLY people who can be called, because they have granted themselves and enforced a monopoly.
In a marketized justice system there would be several competing agencies. I would call gang members who ensure money is stolen and extorted from me out to my house as a last resort.
@obscuredtruth I hear ya. I live just outside of Los Angeles. And I'm sure you know how mean the LAPD can be. There are thousands of them. With a huge budget. So, they get away with alot. But this is not a small town with 3 cops and no crime. We really do have some bad gangs here. Real ones. And they will kill you. All debating aside. Unless you plan on fighting these gangs yourself. What would you do? Honestly. Put yourself in my city. Not your small town.
@kinney2040 I understand. In Cali. The laws are super strict. Getting a permit for anything is next to impossible. Too many laws. And alot of criminals made it this way. I own a collapsable baton. Like the police carry. But I can't carry it on me. Only in my house. But it's still illegal. If someone breaks into my house, and I use it on them to protect myself. I can probably go to jail. I'd be better off beating them with a hammer.
@kinney2040 That's the only problem. I did some research. Apparently in California. You need a reason to carry. Such as law enforcement. Even if you are say a jeweler and carry large amounts of cash. But, someone looking to just carry to protect themselves...Well, tough. Unless there is a loop hole I did not see. It is a sad case. This is Los Angeles. Not some small town. Crime rate is high. And we can't legally protect ourselves without a hassle.
@kskorcz It's funny you say that. Since writing that post. I've had a lot of revelations. Especially with our ever changing society. I took the time to read up on some issues. Recently I had 3 drunk idiots pass through my backyard at Midnight. I live in a quiet neighborhood. Not a crowded area. I was actually afraid to call the Police, for fear they would accuse me of some how violating their rights. Because I had confronted them in a assertive manner.
@jpd782 Tell that to the 3 women who were raped and beaten for 13 hours after calling the police. The police did show up the first time, but did a shitty job investigating, what do you expect from a monopoly?
So tell them the the black dress gang leaders said they have a lawful obligation. I'm sure it will mean so much. Unfortunately you talking out of your ass. There is no obligation. LOOK IT UP. I gave you a video link and there are hundreds of others saying the same thing.
@kinney2040: Please cite that U.S.Supreme Court case. It seems to me that the duties of police officers employed by states are governed by state law, which may vary from state to state, and may will impose a duty on police officers to enforce state law.
@kinney2040: I think I see your rationale. You seem to be going from "Police have no duty to protect individuals" (which may well be true) to "Police are under no lawful obligation to assist in ... crimes" (which is very likely not true in any state).
@alienm34 You know. Not to sound hypocritcal. But, since posting that several months ago. And with our ever changing society. I have had questioned alot of my former beliefs on such issues.
@alienm34 Thank You. To you as well. The change in how I feel came from the fact I'm about to become a first time Father. I want to be able to teach my child how to arm itself. Looking back. I realize how much I didn't know. My head was really in the sand. I would consent to a police search, because I felt, I have nothing to hide. And I don't want my child to just blindly go along like I did in my younger days.
@jpd782 Really? I work on the road and numerous times have needed to call law enforcement for various reasons. They yawn and seldom respond and when they do respond I'm the first person to be treated like shit.
If you would have tried this in Dallas, DPD would have beat your ass and dropped you off on Malcom X Boulevard. Just stick to the suburbs. I highly advise it.
@ATLASASU Because they're much more violent blue light gang members? Is that why you spread fear on their behalf? Or is it because your scared to do something this courageous?

"Filming traffic stops! Wow, your really gathering some great footage there!"
While it might not be as entertaining as you would like, training police officers to expect to be video taped by hostile citizens is a good thing. They will come to behave as if their every move will follow them into a court of law, which it will.
Thank you sololamer, That's a great way to put it.
I would have responded, but apparently paranoid, delusional person who is beyond any help.
It's amazing that in a single post he alleges that I'm personally attacking the cop who drove across the parking lot to question me, yet he finishes his statement with a personal attack.
It's sad to see people so fearful of examining their belief system.
Wow, you really are an idiot AND a total jerk!! I hope you never need the police to help you for any reason, ever. It's amazing to realize, they would help you anyway, even though you're worthless.
Baseless personal attack? Are you watching the same video the rest of us are? How does sitting across a parking lot filming, and asking questions constitute a personal attack?
Care to explain, or do you want to go on pretending everyone else thinks just like you?
I totally understand where your coming from. So it's ok for Law Enforcement or the Federal Government to watch our every move, but we can't do the same? Sounds like slavery to me.
I find it to be wrong, it all narrows to..."Who watches the Watchmen"?
How is an explanation needed when your entire purpose was to personally attack a police officer who did nothing even mildly offensive, princess. You somehow imagine that you are "proving" something with this stupid clip. You did prove your own stupidity. I won't waste another fifteen seconds arguing with an idiot - you are paranoid and delusional, but probably beyond help.
I agree - while police may have video, officers don't take the video, post it on youtube with sarcastic goody goody audio in an attempt to make said person being taped look like an idiot for all the world to see and comment on. The cop was nothing but pleasant as far as I can see.
I agree. Law enforcement often uses video cameras to document traffic stops or other situations such as when a citizen decides to assault an officer. IMO,this person was just trying to get a negative reaction from the officer. Sure, any officer is going to be a little leary when seeing someone take pictures or video of said officer carrying out his job. I'm not an officer but if I saw someone video taping my every move, you're damn right, I'd be leary and would want to know why I am being taped.
@mickeydtexas , All cops are nothing more than paid assassins for the foreign agent,enemy of the state communist attorney. They should all be shot with more than a video camera. And no I would never be so stupid to call one or ask for them to try and deceive me. You are just a willfully deceived fool and will get what you deserve
Yes, because it's crazy to think that the police may not have my best interests at heart. It's crazy to do anything other than what the nice man with the gun asks you to do.
Bullshit! in this case the police asking you if you need something is like a wolf asking a sheep "Can I get you some meat tenderizer?". Wake up and pour yourself a nice cup of reality.
You wouldn't have gotten the FIRST fucking question answered of me until you answered mine, or you'd be answerinfg from the goddam ground. Another psuedo do-gooder asshole masquerading as a "journalist". GREAT.
people like you fear competition in the area of policing. If you had to compete in the policing field, you would not last long. Customers tend to not appreciate being taken to the ground for attempting to ask questions. But you already know this.
Good job. I've had a few run-ins with the Plano cops (never because I did anything illegal) and this guy is one of the better ones. They are way out of control in Plano.
Very reasonable encounter. Idk why everyone is so hyped up on the video. Simply showing two individuals ensuring their own safety by seeing what they are both up to. The cop could have been a lot more authoritarian but it seemed he knew he was dealing with an intelligent individual as soon as he received the responses to his questions.
what you did constitutes suspicious activity. therefore the officer had every right to detain you until he felt that you were not a threat to persons or property. your lucky he didn't. you are the definition of an ungrateful douche bag who doesn't appreciate everything police officers do for the community.
its sad to see your not an informed citizen, are you the least bit aware of the new world order? its been openly announced on national news... havent you done your civil duty and looked into the slaughter of our civil right and the united states constitution?, i hope u inform yourself, otherwise your a lost cause. Fucking douche
Thank you 420991 for the voice of reason here. The cop-haters are the truly scary ones, and their unreasonable hate has warped their ability to reason. If he wanted to show an officer who was "out of control" he should have found one.
wow I did stuff withthe Plano PD, and i found them to be one of the most professional pd in the area. You have the right to film him, but he has the right to come ask you questions regarding your presence at night with a camera, or atleast come ask you whats up.
Wow. I'm very much in favor of challenging police with cameras and recording public servants. But this is an example of how not to treat a cop. Total douchebag behind the camera.
There was no intimidation or anything. The cop just wanted to know if the guy needed anything. No? So he went on his way.
He was not a very good cop he should have gotten your name and kept it. Just incase one of the stores got broken in the next few weeks or months. What way he would have some one to talk to that was acting suspicious. Until every one has a camera the way you are acting is suspicious.
Laws are set in place to protect normal society from deviant individuals: Some liberties are exchanged for protection.
First, if a person(s) breaks the law, they deserve to be disciplined and an officer should/will do so - being videoed or not. The video camera is irrelevant to the final outcome. Secondly, cops are normal people. Just because he has a badge, doesn't mean you get to be rude and disrespectful. Treat others as you want to be treated.
The only "liberty" that is exchanged for the "protection" of the State is that of private justice. That is, no one can impose his own penalty on another for another's trespass upon him. All other rights are reserved...such as the right to self-defense and the right of citizen arrest.
Now that you have told us that lawbreakers must be disciplined, what law was Sam breaking? Cops are generally NOT normal people. They are generally violent, authoritarian, control freaks. Sam wasn't rude at all.
wow whoever made this video is a super douche. The officer politely asked if he needed assistance and he acts like a total dick. the officer never said anything about permission to tape him.
The officer had no reason to approach Sam. The officer asked Sam if he needed anything as the pretext for his approach to Sam. The purpose of the approach was intimidation, the politeness was because the officer knew he had no legitimate reason to approach Sam AND Sam was recording the encounter. Obviously, if Sam "needed" anything from the officer Sam would have approached the officer himself.
actually the officer had plenty of reason it is called suspicious behavior. It is not normal behavior to be hanging out in the parking lot of a closed business video taping police activity. In most states a police officer does not need a reason, but lurking in the dark videoing police activity seems suspicious to me. Legal but subject to scrutiny.
lets say the guy behind the cameraman wasnt showing his knowledge of the fact he doesnt need to act subservient... Then the cop would take advantage, and you cant lie to me, im not a little kid you fucking bozo, the cop would instantly attempt to power trip. You treat them as civil servants, not fucking slave drivers, "yes master, oh please look down on me master" fuck you diggingforgold
Are you serious???? Applaud him? for what? Making that officer deal with another nut job instead of preventing crime, accidents, and doing his job?? Way to go you're another cry baby american that complains about laws and order but wouldn't go live in a country like .... lets say N. Korea to save your life would you? Either appreciate what officers do for you or resist the urge to call 911 when it's you at the end of some criminals gun over the $60 you have in your wallet... DISGRACE
This officer was actually nice...just asked if you needed something, I don't get it?

I've the good side and bad side of Plano PD, but in the country it's a whole lot better. I hate driving in Plano and moved because of the cops in fact. Plano will lose population over them and the crazy low speed limits they have. Hell I can't put it in neutral and drive 30, 35,40 which is what most of the limits are. Now they are adopting laser cam radar.

"...a blue light gang member attempting to extract money from an unlucky driver whose actions caused no harm."
Or, in non-loaded language, a cop giving a speeding ticket.
I don't like the police and I abhor the traffic laws, but you're only hurting yourself and your cause when you talk like that. And bugging the police when they're only following procedure is stupid. You WANT them to follow the law, right? Stop harassing them when they're actually doing it for once!

I agree. Law enforcement often uses video cameras to document traffic stops or other situations such as when a citizen decides to assault an officer. IMO,this person was just trying to get a negative reaction from the officer. Sure, any officer is going to be a little leary when seeing someone take pictures or video of said officer carrying out his job. I'm not an officer but if I saw someone video taping my every move, you're damn right, I'd be leary and would want to know why I am being taped.

Laws are set in place to protect normal society from deviant individuals: Some liberties are exchanged for protection.
First, if a person(s) breaks the law, they deserve to be disciplined and an officer should/will do so - being videoed or not. The video camera is irrelevant to the final outcome. Secondly, cops are normal people. Just because he has a badge, doesn't mean you get to be rude and disrespectful. Treat others as you want to be treated.
Your argument for this video is very weak.
techRSXs02o 2 years ago
The only "liberty" that is exchanged for the "protection" of the State is that of private justice. That is, no one can impose his own penalty on another for another's trespass upon him. All other rights are reserved...such as the right to self-defense and the right of citizen arrest.
Now that you have told us that lawbreakers must be disciplined, what law was Sam breaking? Cops are generally NOT normal people. They are generally violent, authoritarian, control freaks. Sam wasn't rude at all.

The officer had no reason to approach Sam. The officer asked Sam if he needed anything as the pretext for his approach to Sam. The purpose of the approach was intimidation, the politeness was because the officer knew he had no legitimate reason to approach Sam AND Sam was recording the encounter. Obviously, if Sam "needed" anything from the officer Sam would have approached the officer himself.
ed2276 2 years ago
actually the officer had plenty of reason it is called suspicious behavior. It is not normal behavior to be hanging out in the parking lot of a closed business video taping police activity. In most states a police officer does not need a reason, but lurking in the dark videoing police activity seems suspicious to me. Legal but subject to scrutiny.
