[ScarletandGrey4ever]

love it i actually did whitness a pursuit last year. unfortunately my camera battery died and didn't have a spare with me. turns out its was two 14 y/o boys who stole a dodge stratus in parma, ohio and were chased from parma onto Interstate 480 eb then to I 271 n then west on mayfield rd. the south, on s taylor then west onto euclid hts blvd. and continued west on carnegie st. and were caught at carnie and ontario st. the crashed into progressive field (home of the cleveland indians)

i wonder if there is any stringers like that in Miami. and i also think LA is a crazy ass place to live.

[nightstringers]

I agree I have been stringing for 15 years i treat the police here with respect I would never curse at the police .or even curse while I'm covering something, while on assignment you are representing the stations you freelance for .I get my video and the shot I need without fighting with cops and other officials.

Part 2 STARTS at 8:51

Sorry :) LOL

Techno-blah blah :)))

[trentwelker]

They let you use a red spot light on your crown vic?

[PureEvelKnievel]

No they don't, actually; Scott's a maverick.

[NaughtySchoolGirls]

With all due respect, Sir, the Stringers are freelance cameramen, not journalists. In LA, when you hold a camera and shoot a crime scene for CBS, you're a union cameraman. When you hold a camera and shoot a crime scene for On Scene Video, you're a freelance cameraman. Perhaps it's different in your city.

Great video's Love all trhe stuff on LA Stringers. Saw it for the first time back in March 2009 and was inspired. Now im a stringer in Seattle and doing very well with it. What a great way to earn a living!

[maqnchs]

Let me ask you something, I string in Orlando and all the agencies here are going incripted, are you guys incripted?

[littleharg]

hey great shoots thats awesome, about how much would a stringer get payed for one or two good shots that would be aired on the news?

[PureEvelKnievel]

They're paid $135 per story, per network, unless it's a huge exclusive. The nets capped the pay to under $150 so the stringers wouldn't put others in danger chasing a story, which they might do if it paid more. Talk about irony :) I wanted to talk about that on the show, but the network didn't think it was an important detail, I think that if you see all the crazy they go through to get the shot, then you find out how much it pays -- that's drama! :))

[BBQHAMSHACK]

what is the link 4 NEXTEL city trace????

[NaughtySchoolGirls]

I made that up :) Hoping to get sponsorship :)

[xWeaponOfChoicex]

lol I actually saw some of your show for the first time the other day. Its was pretty interesting, good job.

[nicolehenry1075]

who cares what scotts charged w/?! he gets most of those from getting this footage id assume.. its just part of him going that extra mile for his job. doesnt make him a bad person and the show is badass. hes by far my favorite.

[xWeaponOfChoicex]

Looks pretty cool but the voice-over makes it seem like SHIT.

[maqnchs]

I agree the v/o makes it seem low budget.

[NaughtySchoolGirls]

We HATE that voice over. He's our lawyer's nephew and he SUCKED but we got stuck with him.

AND Sold the show anyways :)

[xWeaponOfChoicex]

What other shows have you guys sold? If you don't mind me asking, about how much does a solid show concept go for? Whats to stop them from just taking the idea for themselves?

[bikerdude23]

i wanna be a stringer so bad :( idk where to start thow. message me anyone with info

[axdexter23]

He says he will probably earn millions of dollars, but also he only earns what he needs. I think he has his needs and wants confused.

[AwayTeam2012]

when's this on? awesome!

[PureEvelKnievel]

Hell Ya! Can't WAIT!!!

[joey121269]

dont like his attitude but some good footage atleast?

[AwayTeam2012]

SWEEEEEET! When is this on???????

[7089540230]

from seeing the way he talks to the police,i am not surprised.I am a stringer in Chicago,you act like that @ a CPD crime scene you will be in a paddy wagon. You dont tell the police to put up crime scene tape!

[dinfg6]

If a black man did the same tactics Scott lane did as a stringer he would have been accused of inciting gang violence with a camera and get shot by the police at the same time. Or a Muslim The FBI will think his news Camera is a Rocket Launcher. For Asians it Would be get shot by the police.

[maqnchs]

Your a fucking idiot. That poor black man shit doesnt work anymore you have your own in the white house.

[LASO63]

Yes the cops in the la area just don't look the other way. They do their job and do it well. But morons like him and some others out in the LA area make it harder for good stringers out there. That is why some LA Stringers will not do this show because of their Poster Boy Scott (LAME)

[ren17war]

I think it's really cool that A&E is doing this show... I'm tired of that lame-O criss angle

at least this shit is real!

[qv76]

This shit is so cool, you get such an adrenalin rush it's unbelievable.

[snikliw87]

If stringers are speeding to get to in front of a pursuit, can they get pulled over?

[tyrefryer93]

They are not certified law enforcement officers, so they are subject to following posted speed limits.

[photojournalist]

yea, just don't get in the way of the real media the TRUE PHOTOJOURNALIST...

[cuzy08]

Cool stuff; just don't interfere with our job.

[aboe7830]
