  • can anybody tell me if it is now LEGAL to video tape police in all states. I read that Illinois was one of 12 states that it is ilegal to do so. I also heard that the courts ruled that "anybody can be defined as press" under the first amendment.

  • I LOVE the information age.

    Poor little cops have to quit bullying people and do their damn job right, boo fuckin' hoo. I wish I had recorded the two times cops fucked me over with complete fucking LIES. Maybe now they'll actually start being public servants instead of thugs in uniform.

    This shit proves how much they've been LYING all these years, often UNDER OATH!

    That job attracts horrible human beings. Violent psychopaths that live for hurting people (gives them wood.)

    Power to the People!

  • Lost his job??? big deal he needs his butt kicked and then stomp his face in the pavement.

  • Most cops are honest. They are on the other hand forced to enforce (hmm) unjust laws. I know since my father is a police officer an thus I've come across more cops than most jailbirds even.

  • I find it funny that people always say that most cops are honest! When cops stand around and watch one cop commit a crime, they are all guilty. Why else would they be against the "public" filming them, what are they worried about? If there was a gang that committed as many crimes as the police, they would be public enemy number one!

  • we put faith and trust in our authority figures and they trampled all over it never again my faith is in has been and always will be in God

  • John Stossel likes the taste of Cop Cum!

  • @kober777 - NO, LIL WANNA BE BAD ASS!

    FUCK THE BAD POLICE, FIRE THEM BITCHES, AND DEPORT THEM!

    FACT IS, THE POLICE KEEP THE REAL THUGS FROM BREAKING INTO YOUR HOUSE, RAPEING YOUR ASS, AND STEALING THE COMPUTER YOU USED TO POST YOUR STUPID ASS REMARK!

    I HATE BAD COPS, BUT I ALSO THANK THE LORD FOR THE GOOD ONES, THINK BEFORE YOU POST GRASSHOPPER!

    YOU A REAL BAD LIL BOY, A REPEAT OFFENDER I SEE, ONE WITH NO LOGIC NOR COMMON SENSE, YOU WILL GO FAR, STRAIGHT TO PRISON OR THE GRAVEYARD!

  • @kober777 - NO, LIL WANNA BE BAD ASS!

    FUCK THE BAD POLICE, FIRE THEM BITCHES, AND DEPORT THEM!

    FACT IS, THE POLICE KEEP THE REAL THUGS FROM BREAKING INTO YOUR HOUSE, RAPEING YOUR ASS, AND STEALING THE COMPUTER YOU USED TO POST YOUR STUPID ASS REMARK!

    I HATE BAD COPS, BUT I ALSO THANK THE LORD FOR THE GOOD ONES, THINK BEFOYOU POSR GRASSHOPPER!

  • cops do the mans bidding they are guilty regardless.

  • fox news liars the convey lies for a corrupt government

  • cops... telling the truth? HAHAHA THATS FUNNY

  • @contentlocked99 I'm a cop and I always tell the truth. Pretty funny how what you said makes no sense.

  • The one and only reason for not filming cop is they want to get away with everything. They dont want to be held accountable for their illegal actions.

  • @Marcel1157 I agree lol, they want to cover their asses. (So how can are Government be accountable for their actions if we cannot video tape for proof of their action yet rely on the very Government that runs them to give out the punishments.) I think that puts it all into a great phrase.

  • @DogWarrior327 Jesus christ are you some sort of fucking criminal or something? Do you not know any decent, good cops? Or do you just try to justify your own pathetic life? Every single cop that I run into is courteous and incredibly nice, and you know why? Because I don't treat him like he's an idiot. Grow the fuck up, cops are a necessity in our society

  • @cuband8 be sure to let them know that when they put you and your family in a FEMA camp....

  • @lawtonokieguy Hahahaha you are a joke

  • @cuband8 you're the joke...why do you justify all these cops from abusing their power and harassing citizens that were doing nothing wrong? If it wasn't for video recording these wastes of dna, they would have ended up possibly killing people if they saw fit to do so....

  • @lawtonokieguy I bet you also think our troops are "wastes of DNA" because SOME of them come home and go on killing sprees. The fact that you disrespect all police officers because of the crooked ones shows the amount, or lack of, education that you have. And they would have killed them? HAHAHA. Go watch more CSI buddy, that cop would not kill a person in the middle of the street. This cop may be an idiot and deserves to lose his job, but he wouldn't kill someone haha

  • @cuband8 shows how much you know...ever since that tool in the white house claimed a bunch of muslim extremists blew up two of our buildings, this nation has been circling the proverbial shitter drain. You obviously have some sort of connection to either law enforcement or the military otherwise you wouldnt be so offended. Oh btw, the law enforcement and the military will be the first to get a RFID chip installed into them... Continue to sip the koolaid and just listen to what your told...

  • @lawtonokieguy Hahahahahhaahah okay buddy

  • @cuband8 with the advent of small video recorders it has saved innocent people from going to prison for a very long time. I like to think of videoing like DNA testing......it tells you something you otherwise never would have known. Just the volume of video on police misconduct and corruption is stagering.

  • I think it's great...lolol

  • We have the Technology.. We are the People.. It's about time that we scream Change. All police officers should be wired with a tiny camera and audio. Some of you are saying Ridiculous.. Well, who cares what you think. All Police need to be Held accountable. As well as the people who give the orders.

  • the ONLY reason why cops dont want to be filmed is because they have somthing to hide. We need to keep them accountable, no one else will.

  • @DogWarrior327 preach on brethren .... they protect and serve themselves...from the top politicians all the way down to the pussy fuckin punk cops who abuse the badge

  • Hard Words, but sadly, true enough. @DogWarrior327

    I really really REALLY want to know since some Time, how much

    People in America know about the People in Germany - and: The

    Relationship of the People with the Police. Could People in America

    believe how much more free People live in Germany? How much

    more Police Officer's are respected from the Majority of all People?

    That we don't have to "fight and struggle" for our free right to film

    Police Officer's in Action...? ; )

  • This is precisely why I video-record anytime I see an interesting event unfolding in public. I always have my Droid phone running as a dash-cam anytime I drive anywhere "just in case". You never know when or where it will aid you or otherwise save your ass today.

    And I would also agree that cops have far less credibility than they give themselves. They frequently do shit just like the asshole cop who pushed the guy off his bike and then LIED about what happened, or the one who pulled his GUN.

  • "We have to have some faith... " ah faith.. slowing intellectual development for ages. And LMAO at 20 day suspension, because his character clearly shows he just needs a little vacation time... -_-

  • Hey copper, you can't lie anymore. Soon they will charge you for your crimes.

  • Everyone should start to automatically film cops any time you see them, regardless of who they're interacting with, it should just be compulsion to break out the data collection devices.

    It is unlawful, and perversion of justice to tell someone they cannot collect, or to interfere with the act of collecting data.

    If police tell you that you can't film them,

    You tell them not to threaten you under the cover of a uniform.

  • Lost his job???? He should be freakin' charged with ATTEMPTED MURDER. Can you imagine how LONG A CITIZEN WOULD SPEND IN PRISON if he charged up to a cop on a bicycle like that and shoved him over?

  • Cops and DA are more corrupt than you think. I have done some research into the structure of our police forces and you would be suprised at how outdated the system is. For example: Do you know that Sherrifs have almost unlimited power in some parts of the country? Reason being they are an "elected" official.

  • WOW NO wonder the Gov or the LAW also wants to get rid of the internet so OUR VIDEOS OF THE LAW OR THE GOV TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THEIR SO CALLED AUTHORITY. N SINCE WE GET PROOF ON OUR PHONE N WE CAN LOAD THAT VIDEO N MAKE VIRUAL. THAAAAAAAAATS Y THEY WANT TO GET RID OF THE INTERNET not to mention other reason downloading music, movies,etc... but still dats my theory on this Now to think of it watching this."clearly not on purpose"is he being sarcastic plus these anchors always have to stay neutral

  • @goose003 He meant the biker didn't run into the cop on purpose, he clearly tries to avoid the cop but the cop goes at him. DEATH TO THE PO

  • @OsmosisDives yea i guess he got fed up on the bikers zooming by him by inches haaaaa but yea wat a great time to start walking across the street during a bike rally. Its like wanting to cross the track during a motorally race or something gheeeeez fuking morons also. but yeaa the last biker tried avoiding him n i gues he was just the last drop the filld the cup. n Boooom

  • lol cop pushes a guy off the bike and looses his job but they beat kids and tazer people for no reason and they get a 10 day suspension with pay and nothing else???????? wtf?

  • "Have faith in the police?" LOL

    Police officers are human too, in fact many do not have a college education and abuse their power because they are pissed that they can't find a better paying job

  • @TheCoolfez

    One's potential as a future cop is inversely proportional to one's IQ.

  • @rage1umr lol nicely stated but very true! Some of the dumbest people from my high school class are now cops.

  • @TheCoolfez ohhh yeah not to mention most if not alot of people know their constitution more than that cops. N wen we normal people against the LAW OR GOV start talking about the constitution they get all defensive. HEy hey we're just telling u our rights from the CONSTITUTION yet wat they say goes riiiiiiiiight. thank goodness for steve jobs jaaaaaa

  • Dog fucking pigs! SHOOT these shitting fascists in their shitting faces!

  • always watch the watchers

  • Can't belive this was on fox network...

  • these cops should lose their jobs and get charged with violence

  • @petechef27nj never going to happen, that why there is a should in your sentence.

  • this is the problem with police, they are allowed to take and oath that gives them authority over other human beings, no human being should have authority over another,and that in itself, undermines the entire premise of "freedom"

  • TRUST US!!! TRUST US!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! where did I hear that before? No, I think I will put my faith in my fellow citizens so we can ensure that police and now unconstitutional, Nazi based agencies will know that : THE WHOLE WORLD IS WATCHING!!!!!!!!!! This used to be a nation that all freedom seeking ppls would dream about coming to..Now they just laugh cos they know already what tyrany looks like..and America is not so free anymore..): Wake up America, your country has been hijacked by killers

  • 2:30 Draw weapon, threaten someones LIFE..... receive 10-20 days paid suspension

  • fuck th law

  • Film the police.

  • Without video evidence you have nothing and will always lose.

  • And the REVOLUTION begins....

    Ron Paul ~2012~

  • We should have the right to film police, they are all a bunch of thugs and criminals. Police like to oppress the people, it only serves the goals of a fascist regime.

  • I despise Stossel but he's right here

  • it is not illegal to video tape the police but if it is going to be part of a lawsuit or a complaint DO NOT , DO NOT DO NOT DON'T ECT... DON'T diffuse your video on youtube or ANY OTHER PERSONNAL MEDIA. only the press or tv can diffuse the video on popular media.

    Or the video will probably be dismissed as ividence (well in canada thats hows it works)

  • Im surprised FOX had a vid this intelligent. Usually its dumb blondes talking about theism.

  • What most cops do not understand is that they have no rights to privacy when they put on that uniform. They have the right when they take it off and go home, but not when they put it on and go to work.

  • @Silentsam7532 unless they are in a public place, i can film anyone all i want

  • I predict that somday it will be easier to throw someone in jail for video'ing a cop than it is easier to buy a gun.

  • I already knew that D.C. pig was back on the job but it really pisses me off that all he got was a 10-20 day paid vacation as "punishment" for being an utter failure as a law enforcement officer.

  • " If your doing your job right, You have nothing to fear" Sage advice

  • If the police would act in a way that allowed us to trust them, we would trust them... Its literally no more complicated than that... Not sure how someone couldn't see that....

  • The fraternal order of police wants us to trust them? Yeah fuckin right! I don't trust a cop to do anything but try and destroy my life by turning me into a criminal, so he can boost his ego just a little bit more. Cops are undertrained, horrid individuals from what I've experienced.

  • @isisbybobdylan so from your experience all cops are bad due to a few?

  • I love you, 1h34rtmus1c!

  • Kill Cops

    

  • The pigs have been lieing and destroying peoples lives with their corruption for a long time and it's about time they are held accountable. camaras are going to eventually force the goverment to admit the truth. The pigs cant hide anymore.

  • Without video evidence it is your word against the officer's and you will ALWAYS lose.

  • "usually they tell the truth?" that's the biggest load of bullshit. one thing I learned through experience...COPS ALWAYS LIE to justify their overzealous actions

  • bla bla bla tell it to RODNEY KING!

  • Check and balance. After all police officers and government officials are public SERVANTS not above the laws. They must be fully accountable for their acts and conducts. Furthermore, they are human with all of temptations, it will keep them conscious what they do.

  • is this the same dude that got slapped silly by that wrestler...?

  • now the pigs can't get away with their corruption

  • Why don't you turn it around? Tell the police that you're filming to ensure THEIR safety.

  • "what do you have to hide, officer"

  • Now we can challenge that narrative. - Really, then why are citizens still being arrested for filming police who commit felonies, murders, even rapes in some cases. One guy faces 75 years, for filming a cop who was breaking the law. Yet, we have the right to film a public servant in a public place. Which one is it, can we or can't we. Hopefully citizens take back their streets, sometime soon.

  • Wow...things are getting bad.

    Hope people choose wisely next election. This might be the last chance to reverse things.

  • @AustralianAllTheWay Election?? You're kidding right? No election will change this, it will take the people actually refusing to allow this garbage to go on. That means confrontation, but that's been bred out of Americans.

  • civilians better start hitting the gym AND HIT IT HARD WERE AT WAR

  • Hey, you fucking cocksucking stormtrooper cop motherfuckers- you suck ass, you inbred asshole bitch pricks. You fuckers don't like it when you're being filmed, do you. Well FUCK YOU assholes. You'll NEVER KNOW when someone is rolling tape on you bastards. EVERYBODY HAS A CAMERA THESE DAYS. You idiots can't arrest everybody. Fuck off, scumbags.

  • I shall witness my hair exiting my head in distressingly-luxurious clumps, as God decrees it as His every want, directive & direction is Divine Right, and righteous by fact. My forehead shall reach further back-ways heading around-aboutly asswards. I'll be able to reach the floor without consolation; the ceiling without upchucking leftwardly and points the other way with an umbrella.

  • "...sort of a higher level..."?

  • Wake up marinedude10, it is happening everyday, everywhere in america. I will chill out when you wake up.

  • Someone disliked, I guess its a cop or a government slave

    oh yeah it reminds me, all of them are assholes! viva the revolution !

  • Comment removed

  • The police always say to people "why'd you run if you weren't doing anything wrong?" they don't need to be scared either if they're not violating your rights?

  • all they have to do is shut the internet down?

  • It's sad that so many people think that, somehow, ALL cops are like this. There have always been corrupt/asshole cops and there always will be. However, only a few select individuals fall into this category. If this sort of thing happened everyday, then yes, I could understand. However, it doesn't -- so chill out.

  • film the cops

  • There is several bills being proposed right now about making it a fine or jail for filming police while on duty. Of course same old excuses about inhibiting there job and all the usual crap, and police unions will lobby and spend millions on crooked politionions to buy there votes and some bill passed. They took our guns so only the crooks have them, now goes our last defence the camera. Welcome to Russia II . God grant us Ron Paul 2012 before America takes it's last breath.

  • Sieg Heil!!!!!!! Wie haf our vays of finding out!!!!!!!! Confess now!!! WE ARE WATCHING YOU!!!!! FOR THE SECURITY OF DIE HOMELAND!!!!!!

  • I've dealt with NYPD on several occasions. Now I'm sure they are a few nice ones out there... but most of the ones I ran into showed no semblance of civility, and the ones that escape to westchester/naussa counties are more or less the same. True bullies with a badge/gun. I am a clean cut/polite mannered guy who always shows respect - but even that's not enough and I get treated like some animal. The political machine in albany doesn't get it and they never will, can't wait to get out of NY.

  • They got the guns but we have the cameras

  • Police have been militarized by the federal government. Police now represent the corporation and are collection agents for the corporation. Police will always try to prevent video of their activities because they are often power hungry bastards. Sorry but true! Never talk to a police officer. They represent the corporation against you.

    Jack Webb was right....."You have the right to remain silent as anything you say can and will be used against you". Thanks Miranda.

  • Take the pot smokers out of prison and fill them with corrupt cops/politicians

  • @uniblab1000 you would have to build more prisons to fit them... even with all the pot smokers gone

  • @uniblab1000 "pot smokers out of prison" I think you mean "pot dealers" or "growers" and if that did ever happen it would only mean that there would be plenty of food for everyone, smiles on your face, and an new law for all workers to have a longer lunch break

  • You know what's funny, most major cities have police 'security' cameras EVERYWHERE! They can watch YOU, and use THOSE films as evidence, but of course, not the other way around. RAGE against the machine!

  • Cams are not going away punk ass cops. We no longer trust you. You are no longer worthy of trust or respect. Sorry to you good cops but you are no better by shutting up and looking the other way. You wil pay too punk! You are all on notice punks and we will prevail. You have better be afraid because we are coming...

  • As a retired video news stringer/reporter I say the right to record anything that occurs in a public place must be maintained in the public interest and as a right of a free press. In today's world we are all journalists and reporters. ☮☯✌

  • Almost all US Police Depts, are trained by the ADL

    Just google ADL Police training schedule.

    That is why they are militarized. Police Chiefs go to Israel for seminars et al

  • Cops lie, more often than they tell the truth. They also expect to get away with it. Video is the only weapon against their corruption.

  • See the very funny Youtube video of a monkey comes out of a jungle in Africa and grabs an AK-47 and starts shooting at the soldiers and everybody runs for cover and nobody is hurt. The Youtube video is called "Ape With AK-47" but the more I think about it the monkey with an AK-47 is probably safer on the streets than a cop with a gun.

  • woe to the one who voted against this video.

  • The one person who disliked this vid is a cop who lost his job for being a pig.

  • cops are people. people are human. To err is human, therefore, cops err. Videotape all of their actions. We pay for their salaries and benefits, so we have the right to videotape them as they work. Cops videotape the public at their discrection and so the public should have the same right. Otherwise, we live in a tyranical state.

  • @JALtheImpaler Hallelujah! AND everyone should read up on their local rights, learn how to speak to the police like your empowered with the knowledge of knowing exactly where your feet stand in this "DEMOCRACY" pff yeah right.

  • Most countries need to enact laws that will reign in our police officers, make them accountable and stop their abuse of the public. It is getting so we must assume all police are lying and are corrupt. We are in desperate need to imprison more police more oftren and for longer time in order to help clean the mess up that is the police in most country's including my own, Canada. 

  • Hey Cops, if you aren't doing anything wrong then...you shouldn't have anything to fear...right?

    Isn't that the line the tyrannical government always uses on us?

  • As public servants, when on duty, police should have no right to privacy. Citizens can be recorded on the street without anyones permission.

  • Drug tests for cops also. Truck drivers are because it's a safety sensitive position.

  • Good clip! Right on the money! Good reporting from Stossell

  • Police lie all of the time, to keep themselves or other police from being prosecuted for wrongdoing, or in an effort to convict people they don't like. We absolutely must have transparency in monitoring police. Balko and Stossel have it exactly right.

  • An important you tube clip to watch and understand!

  • 01:40 School yard bully with a badge. Probably knocking kids off skateboards at the local mall now.

  • It's government's contention that they should be able to film us and pry into our lives because... hey... if we're not doing anything wrong, we have nothing to fear. The same standard should apply in reverse, as well. If their doing their jobs properly, they have nothing to fear.

  • So when will the chemtrails spewing poison over your head get acknowledged?

  • Wow, 1 dislike, who is the moron who wants to get abused by authority?

  • Paul/ Napolitano

    with Stossel as press sec. would be great

  • The more Americans they arrest the more money private prisons get. Big bizz in the USA!

  • The only people against cameras in public places are those that have something to hide. And go onto some police forums and look at how they justify their "brother blue" actions.. it's always the same.. they generally assume everything is worse than the citizen says and just as bad as the cop says because it's a "sworn officer"(s) word against a "criminal"(s) word (which a criminal is not a criminal until convicted in court, hence innocent until proven guilty) Cameras level the playing field

  • Lying is part of being a hairless ape and being a government employee activates all lying genes.

  • Well, in the last month I have seen people detained for possible fruit smuggling, arrested for bubbles, arrested for taping a public meeting, arrested for video taping on ones own privacy, a raid on an organic food store with weapons armed and now a gun being drawn over a snowball fight.

  • Crispus Attucks! 

  • yuuuuuuup!

  • "when it's public money, the public deserves to know" amen

  • I can't understand why Stossel or Judge can't take over the 5 pm time Slot.

    They're both better then Beck with good educational stuff to learn & watch unlike the other trash they got. Hannity, Reilly, Greta or whatever.

  • "Snow balls are lethal, better draw my gun...."

  • 0:58 Amusing. I have seen many videos where the police tell people to stop filming and have yet to hear anyone use the cop's own canned response: "If you aren't doing anything wrong, you shouldn't have anything to hide". Ahhh the irony.

  • Corrupt police do not want transparency. They need to be held accountable. Something they are not used to.

  • 2:53 "I assume usually they tell the truth"

    Would you also assume that of a janitor, a refuse collector or an unemployed person?

    If not, why not?

    Yet in court (without evidence to the contrary), the fallacy of believing the word of those in office still carries more credibility than that of the accused.

    How many times do we have to see this fallacy destroyed before we understand that trust of office has no place in a court room?

  • Ron Paul 4 Prez!

    Stossel for Pres Secretary!

  • @nakor667 YOU HAVE TO BE A NUT CASE TO WANT RON PAUL AND STOSSEL YES YOU'RE A NUT CASE

  • @MsDaisy201 Compared to people who vote in the same corrupt politicians who continue our debt, inflation and wars? And those people are the logical ones? lol, right. Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. Sounds logical to me.

  • @xKenseixX LOL..MsDaisy201 is another very obvious government worker selling their soul for the doomed dollar! Like most TSA workers, they are hired for their commanding stupidity and oblivious servitude. Peek at their YT accounts and you will see the pattern. Best to just ignore. US empire is crumbling...just like Rome. Best of luck to you - and onward in the battle to regain our L I B E R T Y!

  • @lnsk Great comment m8, and the best of luck to you as well.  =)

  • I just got a HD flip cam on amazon for like 50 bucks. I'm not particularly worried, but I like the idea of having it.

  • @Lukeor Yep, it only takes one time for you to get burned.

  • Rights can not be taken away or given away. They are inherent to people. The ONLY thing that can "happen" to rights is that they are either respected or violated.

    The people of China have a right to life. The women of the middle east have a right to their bodies. What they DON'T have is a government that respects those rights and constantly violates them.

    Anyone who says "they are taking" our rights is mistaken... It's: "they are VIOLATING our rights!"

  • Faith and Trust? only someone who has never been abused by a cop would think that.

  • Thank you John, for exposing the corruption!
