G20 Toronto Illegal Public Works Act Searches with Flashlight Cop

[FPShkED]

Don't you people have better things to do than to film things like this? Maybe like,...... be a WORK?

[snarky77005]

@FPShkED People like you piss me off. People like this that make videos of cops breaking the law and the put it on Youtube are changing the game. It is no longer so easy for cops to deny breaking the law when their crimes are caught on tape and they are caught lying to people about the law.

It is this type of activism that is making a difference across the world. And all you can say is "don't you have something better to do?" Please, go jump into the lake, and don't come back.

[brnm0696]

You are lucky that is all he did! I would have pulled out my baton and smash your camera. You got off real easy on that one, so stop whining.

[snarky77005]

@brnm0696 Yeah, Bow down before the one you serve. Have you licked a cops boots today?

Fuck you, you nazi.

[CARSONB43]

@brnm0696 you smash my camera I smash your face fuckwad!

[PornDawgDaddy]

What a punk cop.  I'm just shining my flash light.

[pfreddyp]

"Dylan Price #9256 of the Halton Regional Police" Arrest this motherfucker!!!

[brnm0696]

I love Dylan Price! Hope to be like him.

[chadley6916]

Most cops are such douches! Someone tell genius his flashlight doesn't do shit during the day!!! Duh!!!

[wickedjuggaloz480]

isn't it funny your IQ has to b low enough to be an officer of the law... maybe it's so they don't think anything of it when they are braking laws themselves. LAWLZ It's shit like this that makes the public hate you. ┌∩┐(◕_◕)┌∩┐  PIG!!!

[gill222xo]

GET A LIFE YOU POLICE HATERS

[TheIronicBanana]

@gill222xo go suck a pig cock

[brnm0696]

I really liked what Dylan Price and Kim Bates did during your filming. I will definitely be doing that when I become a police officer. They are right in what they did. They are entitled to privacy. They do not stick cameras in people's faces, so respect there space and do not film their faces or promise to blur the faces.

[takenbyn]

@brnm0696 If they don't want to be filmed they should go home and never go out in public. Public servants can and should be video taped during their illegal acts. If they weren't doing something illegal then they wouldn't mind being taped. LOSER

[brnm0696]

@takenbyn: Can you please explain to me what the Privacy Act entails? Also, tell where in the video did they do anything illegal. Everyone, including public servants have the right not to be filmed. So, no your facts before you start shooting off your mouth.

[afgnaruto]

what a fag i want to be a cop but not like a total douche bag like him

[rhymingrecordsss]

[avzett]

Saturday January 8 2011, Queens Park 2pm-PROTEST CALLING FOR A PUBLIC INQUIRY INTO THE POLICE ACTIONS OF G20 IN TORONTO. BE THERE.

[Te3k]

Great work on the filmer's part! Now, it's up to you to take the next step. Please do! File some complaints! Rattle some cages! Make a day of it! Bring all your friends! You know that if you won't these cops will just keep doing this.... If they want to play hardball, show them that you know how to pitch.

[G20Detainee]

@Te3k I filed a complaint with the OIPRD with mixed results though flashlight cop did get some "re-training" about how to handle people filming in public.

[COALslaw]

Good for you for hanging in there. I can't believe this shit went on, i had no idea.

[yourkidkabaap]

what happened in the background while that idiot was dancing with this flashlight?

[G20Detainee]

@yourkidkabaap illegal searches - if you listen closely they are trying to cite a public works act as justification to search people's bags.

[raksman]

Where is your civil liberty. has canada become a fascist state. These cops are acting like neighborhood thugs. Peaceful Demonstration not allowed in your country. Iraq started out this way!

[Marcel1157]

why dont you put your flashlight up your ass

[Marcel1157]

Is he paid just to hold a flashlight. Anybody can do that. I want to be a cop and i want a big big flashlignt

[malikpa83]

What a douche lord

[epohnopulse]

that's some scary shit.

[sparti8]

people watch the movie "z" and you will understand what this shit is all about

[TheRuffianAngel]

Cool. You have a police officer not wearing name ID assaulting you with a flashlight, gloves, and by striking you and your camera blocking your use of a camera and impeding your thoroughfare on a public sidewalk. Common assault. Write out a statement and bring it to a Justice of The Peace and swear out an "information" laying a charge against the officers using single frame out takes from the video.

[NBSynergy]

1st Officer Bubbles & Now Officer Flashlight...whats next?



[longsaber]

@NBSynergy officer "beat the shit out of a bunch of peaceful protestors" or maybe sergeant "ill beat them harder if they fight back" or special constable "im going to rape you" no justice no peace

[jesuisgalactique]

what happened to canada?

[longsaber]

@jesuisgalactique yeah, a liberal capitalist state that continues genocides against indigenous peoples does some bullshit to the restof the population...what happened? shades of fascism.

[CanadianDominion]

This is how nazis protect them selves from being exposed as the rotten douchebags they really are...see what you can do with enough beer money and a police ed diploma? jocks and bullies and ego maniacs make up the canadian police force. I think cop killers are the greatest heros of our time...

[dwhiebert]

Good on you Melissa ... another cop eager for facetime on YouTube....

Where do they find these idiots? "Serve and Protect" -- my ass!

[ianflett]

What you have is evidence of a police officer concealing his name and badge number.

[sk8forlifebitch]

WOW really this cop is a child :P

[longsaber]

@sk8forlifebitch a complete fucking child... #g20report @torontoPolice

where is that cop from? what is his name. who is that last old hater of a cop. that women should look her grand children in the eye and tell her she was doing it for the future...

"anywhere public, museum, library..."  that is some police state shit.

[mycompasstv]

Officer Flashlight hard at work, earning every penny of his overtime. 

[sndd0138]

Hiya! I'm an irritating asshole!

[bigkitten]

Aah aah aah...I'm an epilleptic....you're giving me a seizure!!! This....I'm sorry, I cannot watch this until the end. That's right, fuckers, keep pushing....just keep pushing! Like they say to us re cctv "if you've nothing to hide, you've nothing to fear". In that case, why don't these bastards want to be filmed? 'cos they HAVE something to hide, that's why! They KNOW they're up to evil's bidding. I truly despair.

[khristopherjr]

What a fucking idiot that cop is! OMG. I still can't believe this happened in Toronto. Searching people illegally like this. Unbelievable. These cops should lose their jobs.

[sndd0138]

@khristopherjr keep spreading the word about this. a lot of people will look at you like you're crazy at first, but we can't let them get away with this!

[TruthseekerGirl]

@khristopherjr This is the attitude and behaviour of the police here in London also. It is a daily thing here too. Not only demonstrations. We all are very frustrated here because they think they are above the law and that we are somehow UNDER those laws. Just want people to know that this is the general way cops treat people in this era.

[sndd0138]

i can't believe this actually happened? I thought police officers were actually required to have some dignity and respect. I feel like this guy has the intelligence of 10 year old.

[TruthseekerGirl]

@sndd0138 I think it's a requirement to have a low mentality and bad attitude to actually be accepted as a cop!

[Sanguinarian13]

What juveniles these so called peace officers are. What I've noticed is that these positions attract a certain 'calibre' or people to them. Namely people who want a taste of power over others. Its despicable that they can do things like assault, harass, intimidate, wear armour and carry weapons, disguise their faces and break their own mandates, but if you bring anything to defend yourself or to gather evidence for yourself, you are a criminal. These people are the 'human garbage'.

[unsocialite]

this is what happens when you give a bunch of meatheads a uniform.

[Pyeddo]

What a loser. How small are your testicles pig?

[StudentLoanGestapo]

Find out who the Flashlight cop is & shame him publicly.

[atratusnihil]

Every single one of the cops in this video should be brought up on charges under section 24 of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms for violating section 8.

[MISSISSAUGAWATCH]

I videotaped police officers as well. And MY what a contrast between these dopes and the professionals I had the privilege of documenting at University and Richmond.

watch?v=WKx_SIgFS4I

Got to videotape all I wanted. Both officers were highly respectful and courtesy of everyone who approached.

And then I see what you taped at York and Adelaide... You'd think they were ashamed of what they were doing...

[MISSISSAUGAWATCH]

Hmmmm. So I wonder what kind of strength flashlight aimed at police video surveillance cameras would...

[MISSISSAUGAWATCH]

Funny how the people who have no qualms about aiming video surveillance cameras are us get so camera-shy when the lens is aimed at them! Why do citizens need to keep their cameras going?

Should things ever come down to They-Said/You-Said, guess who gets believed?...

[citizenbunnie]

These blocking officers should be charged with Obstruction of Justice and Disorderly Conduct, IMO. Great job filming this and standing up for your rights, Melissa! Thank you!

[TheHolySpirit]

Flashlight police officer is clearly trying to intimidate, harass and impede the woman's right to film police officers in a public place. The woman cop does the same but actually physically interferes with the equipment itself. The video can be used as evidence of this. Compensation is due here.

The man being searched unlawfully is the victim of a crime here. It is a gross invasion of his private property and personal privacy. Compensation is due here also.

[christyvanriper]

WOW!!! Clearly harassment!
