CopWatch runs into tense situation

[runningwolfkenpo]

Why do you think your rights are so much more important than someone else's? You claim you aren't filming a person who can't tell if you did or didn't. I wouldn't take your word for it. So just stop.

[MajorRick12345]

There was nothing --- NOTHING-- wrong with the 'filming' of anyone/everyone 'in the public.' However, the film (at least out of respect) should be edited to 'blur' her face when posting. If it was a 'two-party' state, she had the right to refuse; however, her friend also has a right to have it filmed. One person refusing consent DOES NOT trump the other person giving consent. There was a ruling by the USSC. back in early 2000-2001 (not sure of exact yr) stating as such. Stay back & respect

[bravestarguy]

lets sort this shit out rise up against it in any way u can and lets do it fast before its too late

[MrBurnin420]

SOOOOOO glad this is what my tax money goes towards...

[FoxeoGames]

This video is already VERY biased because the video started mid-event. What happened before this? What led up to this? How did this event start, and what did the officers and suspect(s) do?

Video is NOT unbiased; video only shows what is in front of the lens and only gets the audio that comes through. Do you know if a warrant is on file? Do you know if he matches the description of a suspect in a recent felony?

Again, video only shows what video shows.

[Asstasticplastic2]

nothing cop watch does is unbiased. You see lights and say to yourself "oh let's go annoy those fucking bastard ass pigs who think they are above the law" is that unbiased? i don't think it is buddy. I'm not here to pick a fight so don't try to start one i'm just saying. I will believe that you guys are unbiased when you don't demonize everything the police do. Try showing something about a good cop every once in a while and maybe people will think you're more honest. they're not all bad.

[tfraud]

If she doesn't want to be filmed, don't film her. Respect her wishes. Please?



[mrJunior4308]

dude you should of stop filming

[somehowresponsible]

@thenerdsgetchicks I wasn't saying public servants are bad.

[tjsnaps]

Filming the cops is OK but you should keep your distance and never interfere or interact.

[DeputySheriff330]

Get some jobs you deadbeats !

[1775novten]

@DeputySheriff330 You're saying all members of the press and cameramen are deadbeats? Or only the ones who record what you don't like? Are the cameramen on the show "Cops" deadbeats? Of course not, because they show cops in a positive light right?

[DeputySheriff330]

@1775novten Ohh yeah these guys are the press ! LOL. You need permission to walk onto an Officers scene, for safety reasons. Im not saying that members of the press are deadbeats, I meant that going around town all day interfering with police officers duties is not a very productive use of time. Im guessing your one of those liberals that think all cops are "pigs" and all of them are corrupt. Thanks for your comment !

[1775novten]

@DeputySheriff330 No, I agree people shouldn't be interfering with anyone while they are doing their job, especially ones that deal with safety like police work. No I'm not a liberal - I consider myself more of a constitutionalist, as I am an oath keeper myself. I have my own opinions of what police work has come - not the officers themselves, but what their job has become.

[savagenomore]

@DeputySheriff330 like I told the smart ass cop a few weeks ago out in front of my house who tried to make us go inside, how the fuck do we know where the "scene" is if it ain't taped or coned off, we don't and if there was a crash and my car in possibly damaged I want to know what the fuck is going on but to many cops have a chip on their shoulder and don't like it when people challenge them on their bullshit commands and stand their ground, no I didn't go inside either...

[DeputySheriff330]

@1775novten People running around with their freinds and 75 dollar camera are the press ? WOW ! Does the news ever show any positive stories about a policeman saving someone or anything good, well the answer is NO ! Instead they choose to show the few bad ones doing bad things. Have a nice day :)

[1775novten]

@DeputySheriff330 Yes, every citizen has the right to make record of what happens in public - especially when it comes to public servants. Yes, there is the rare positive story about police. I just watched one of a cop pulling a guy out of a burning vehicle - then he threw him in jail for DUI. Listen, I realize it's a tough job, but why fear the camera if you have nothing to hide - LEOs use the line "if you have nothing to hide" all the time right?

[DeputySheriff330]

@1775novten I dont fear cameras. I have one mounted on the inside of my squad. I fear people coming close to me on my scene when I'm trying to do my job. I can't keep all my attention on my business when someones 10 feet away from me with a camera. It's called officer safety, we just want to go home at the end of the night like everyone else. Looking forward to more positive constructive conversation. Thanks !

[1775novten]

@DeputySheriff330 I agree with you just said 100%. It's just unfortunate that most citizens are seen as the enemy by LEOs, so I would assume that it's reasonable for most citizens to see the police as the enemy and a threat. What is your opinion about armed citizens? Do you see them as a threat or an aid?

[DeputySheriff330]

@1775novten Could you be more specific ? Thanks

[1775novten]

@DeputySheriff330 What is your personal opinion about armed citizens walking around, whether it is open carry or concealed? Are you threaten by citizens armed with guns, or do you see them as an extension of "policing" the community?

[DeputySheriff330]

@1775novten I dont mind people excersising their constitutional rights as long as they are competent and responsible people and following all the laws reguarding firearms. s If someone is on my scene with a firearm on them I will secure that weapon until my departure from the scene. Otherwise im all for it !

[1775novten]

@DeputySheriff330 I agree with the competent and responsible, and would even add that they should be trained. Most LEO's respond the same way you did - saying that they respect the constitutional rights, but usually always add the caveat that basically means "just as long as you don't do it around me". Most LEO's will demand ID from gun carriers and/or follow them around. This is just my experience - not saying it's you.

[LANDSHARK7130]

i would love to do the stop resisting routine to a cop. wet dream

[thenerdsgetchicks]

What if everyone followed you as soon as you left your house. Your wife, Mother, Father, Children, and you? Would you get upset? Every step you ever made. Whatever you did in public? Public restroom, park, in your car, and as you walked. What then?

[somehowresponsible]

@thenerdsgetchicks I would probably think.. "Hmmm.. Maybe I'm a public servant, such as.. perhaps a police officer?

[thenerdsgetchicks]

@somehowresponsible Yah. All police and public servants are bad. I forgot. Wouldn't want to adjust your blinders.

[wesmatron]

@thenerdsgetchicks Absolutley. Grouping 'ALL' of any group together is dumb. I've met some outstanding peace officers. If people want better police then they need to acknowledge and encourage the good ones...that differentiates them from the crap ones who will eventually be found out. Grouping them as one just allows the crap ones to hide in the shadows of the good ones 'all as one'.

[InusSonCurtis]

@thenerdsgetchicks Strictly speaking with all the surviellance cameras these days, you technically ARE followed as soon as you leave your house.

[dmoneyhoney8181]

firstly, this wasn't tense. secondly, your presence, big shocker coming up here ... just made matters worse. get a life. 

[badpanda84]

Copwatch should really to a bouncer/security guard edition.. they will see alot more shit that filming the cops.. Bouncers deal with more fights and crap than cops.

Of course they are also more dodgey and will proably beat you up too

[CMLaneLV]

@badpanda84 Lol who takes security guards seriously?

[badpanda84]

@CMLaneLV OK maybe not security guards -- but people do take bouncer seriously.. because unlike security guards bouncers will use force to removed you.

So if a drunk idiot refused to leave ( or take bouncer seriously) they get phyically removed..

Bouncer are alot more "hands" on than police --

[lorenavelvet]

Why can't you just film and keep your mouth shut! You're distracting and in the right situation that could be very dangerous. I don't think you are very professional at all. My friend had a warrant and the police arrested him in the bar. When I asked him who to call the police were at me to keep my distance. I was a little taken back by their reaction, but they didn't know what I might do. It is for safety.

[uzi1951]

@lorenavelvet good advice, I don't like (hate) the cops but don't antagonize them either

[MICHAELB051973]

@CaptainAmericaDude ....as he types hiding behind a keyboard.

[ReddSept]

god that chick was a freakin moron!

[sharlenemusiclover]

Check out my video How to Make a File a Fee Schedule; also, check out being a "people" on the land...it's the only solution, folks. You have to get active and research. Check out the 7th Amendment to the Constitution, which provides for common law courts. Good luck, peace, Ven Geancia

[aerohurtz]

could not somones brain be concidered a " recording device ". if someone has to stop using a camera because somone else does not want to be audio or video recorded does that mean that if they dont have a camera, that they have to look away and stop listioning? Just wondering what people thought about this.

[bradq]

i need to hook up with People. Are there any People in the Seattle area doing this. I would like to join them.

[Blahblobify]

@CaptainAmericaDude

Yes, Copwatch people are cowards. They screw with the police because they know the police have to put up with their shit. The cunt in this video was interacting with the person being detained and aggravating the situation, should have been arrested for hindering an officer in the performance of his duty.

[roaringwaterbay]

@Blahblobify if the police thought they had a case then why didn't they act? maybe because they knew their case was crapola?

[straydogg13]

i really appreciate what guys like yall do.Normally when a cop says someone is interfereing with an investigation its a lie.....this time honestly yall kinda were.Making the point about the cop not allowing you to give him a lighter was to get on that dudes good side so he will say stick around.......cmon man it was....no big deal really but it was.I wouldnt recomend talking to any of them.Also this particular cop was a pretty good dude.i really think he was.He acted like a normal logical person

[mathieunalan]

however..

From the videographer's percpective, i will say the following: 1) props for staying a respectable distance away from both the officer( this cop was a GOOD cop) and the vehicles

3) She would not have known that becuse the camera's movement putting her outta focus would not have been noticed by her

4) By speaking to them, you are, in fact inciting responces and thusly hindering the officer's job

[mathieunalan]

however..

3) She would not have known that becuse the camera's movement putting her outta focus would not have been noticed by her

[jjamerb]

You approached the car to give her lighter. You were then interfering. If you had stayed back and were out of the way and not conversing with passengers you'd been fine.

[gjn00100]

If your service isnt welcome dont give it

[11mac11s]

The girl didn't like the filming because she didn't want to get caught in her moms car with the guy her moms disproves of.

[11mac11s]

Just my opinion, those people in the car don't have the "right" to be free. Not with the immature attitude they have.

I'm not in anyway on the cops side on this, but the white trash in the car need to be ruled over.

[BigThickRichard]

@11mac11s I've noticed immaturity has become the rule among women as of the past couple of decades. Obviously, with a man mouth like that little brat had i'm amazed some guy hasn't beaten her like a man.

[11mac11s]

@BigThickRichard

Right on man. She's has a wake up call coming though. Someone guy will punch her lights out one day.

[Atruth100]

so the guy asks for a lighter and you say, "I can't he won't let me"? Dude, its none of your business what is going on anyways. Instead of thinking that every cop is bad why don't you find a real hobby? It may be your right to film and perfectly legal but you should still respect the request of others and not be an inconsiderate dumbass.

[IowaFirearms]

Regardless of the requests to stop filming you have the right to film you.

[TheMardayParday]

Kick his ass!

[1granddragon]

i would have clocked the gd bitch that was hollaring for you to turn off your camera

[Shady2viewer]

cops defending a copwatch guy from the people copwatch say their trying to protect? LMAO oh the irony XD

[AirborneEASY]

Fuck the cops

[xaqshuna2003]

I wonder if CopWatch will ever post good things that cops do (99%) or just the bad things (1%)

[RANDY64612]

This video should be called "Copwatch creates tense situation". 

[VirbiusMoon]

Well, on a level of ethics and common courtesy you should stop filming when the citizens became upset asking to stop. But you still have every right to film people in public as the paparazzi do. In terms of your purpose, once the citizens didn't want to be filmed, fuck 'em... lol

[Squeebopp]

This is exactly the reason why you have no business being there...

If you want to be a police officer, take the exam and get on like everyone else. In the meantime, get lost. You're going to get someone hurt and you know it.

[Rysm78]

You people need to let these officers do their jobs. I don't come up and try to bother you with questions while you spin clay or sodomize yourselves with tree branches

[thunderdome033]

instead of injecting yourself into the situation, stand back and shut the fuck up so you can be objective and observe, hence "copwatch"

[Stalicone]

What a stupid cunt

[airplanegod]

That woman yelling at them to turn the camera off has serious mental conditions and needs to be killed. She also is probably here illegally. Please shoot that bimbo.

[Dewdaahman]

@3:15 the girl that yelled "I don't give a shit" should have been arrested for disturbin' my peace.. a divorced lesbian, no doubt.. can't keep a man, get a woman..

[laidbackguy1972]

the cop was being cool the dumb broad in the car is an idiot at best. it doesnt matter what she wants its your right to film anything and anyone in PUBLIC

[gargoyle1701]

the cop was trying to be nice  one in a million

[xicanttl]

sound like a bunch of belligerent assholes badgering cops acting as though they know something important. hope you find yourself in a situation where the cops could help but don't.

[tuxtafari2663]

I HATE THE POLICE!!!!!! FUCK THE POLICE!!!!!

[COPWatchersNetwork]

All I see here is people harassing a COP who otherwise is being professional and very patient.

[enlighteningshockras]

i swear i know that cunt yelling to turn off the cam.. she sounds drunk and blond lol and reallly fucking stupid... i approve a cop beating her with a baton to shut her the fuck up! he should of...

[CODHVideos]

@enlighteningshockras

Women beaters, the scum of the earth.

Funny how the likeliness of you saying this kind of stuff in public is 1/10000.

[enlighteningshockras]

@CODHVideos stupid people need to be hit once and awhile, he wants to help and shes too stupid to take his video protection. i'm not for cops beating civilians except to get some sense knocked back into them.. and what am i saying? i stated shes a dumb cunt and shes drunk and the cop should of beat some sense into the twat. I didn't say id be saying anything if i was there. She just had reminded me of the other night coming home from the bar with a first timer just turned 21 and she picked up...

[CODHVideos]

@enlighteningshockras

Maybe if it was another girl doing the smack down lol

She will end up drinking her silly ass into a worthless pile of crap anyways. Why bother teaching her a lesson when life itself with give her what she has coming. I understand that there is many people who I myself would like to give a royal beat down to try to knock some sense into them, but I also know many times this would just make them more ignorant. Let her die of liver cancer, karma will have its way ;)

[enlighteningshockras]

@CODHVideos this chick that was doing the same stupid shit yelling im going to punch you in the face yada yada when i was stating to the driver that was worried about cops pulling us over, that if we had gotten pulled over that i can handle the situation with the cops and not to worry about it i know my common law unalienable sovereign rights and as long as there is no injured party there is no crime.. and she kept freaking out like her head was made of lead or something.i hate stupid people!

[Joshua2019]

That Cop was awsome.. What are you guys trying to show? looks like you J@ck@sses got in the middle of something that had nothing to do with you.

It would be another thing if you just quitely filmed from the back, but you walked right up to the car. Not to mention the Cop still was trying to watch your back afte the whole thing ended..

Cops are people and keeping an eye on them is always a good thing. Just don't be an @ss about it.

[TheJomogogo]

OK you want to video, fine, but STAY OUT OF THE SITUATION. Cops don't need some asshole with a camera poking their nose into what's going on and asking them to explain things, they have their hands full and you are being a potentially dangerous distraction. That's the problem with copwatch, you are ill mannered douchebags that need to keep back and let the police do their job. You're going to get someone hurt doing that shit someday.

[kskorcz]

i understand what you guys are trying to do. i get the whole keep cops acountable but we are all humans. you do have the right to film but if someone in that position (the people getting arrested) ask you to leave then have some respect for your fellow human and leave. just cause you have the right to film dont make people fell embarresd or ashamed. by the way i would let you film my encounters with law enforcement anytime and keep up the good work.

[MrWazzu2004]

Fucking idiots. The cop should have shot you. This country is far too soft. They should have fucked you up.

[bubbaroy73]

the camera guy could get arrested for some kind obstruction of justice charge which includes interfering with police work.

[BlueMax114]

Sorry but you guys are out looking for trouble and thats very stupid

[bkeener86]

lucky i wasn't there i'd search that loud bitch if i was that officer obviously she was trying to hide something & felt the camera would see it.People only care about being watch if their naked or in their house or in this case obviously up to something illegal wouldn't supprise me to know the officer found drugs on her.

[GManKeepsltReaI]

Clearly delaying the Officers investigations and ignoring the people that requested you not film. You should be get another none paying job you suck!

[GManKeepsltReaI]

A clear violation of the Copwatch handbook, we are required to watch and not interfere. Bad CW you need to quit

[myfuzzlemuzzle]

Stupid ass drunk bitch, videoptape is what could save your ass in court. Enjoy your enslavement you dumbed down whore sheeple IDIOT

[bkeener86]

@myfuzzlemuzzle i agree & i'm a officer myself though i don't engage in illegal bullshit at all though i do hear about it alot & i've stoped it afew times in cases were a officer was being a retard & violating constitutional & state laws pretaining to citizens.We're payed to protect & serve my fellow officer stop sucking the government & the bankers dicks as they don't pay us shit your stupid motherfuckers.I'd taze or shot these fucking bankers i've heard about.

[milshorjon]

@bkeener86 ..clearly you are not an officer..the spelling and sentence structure in your posts prove you wouldn't be able to properly write a report..

[bkeener86]

@milshorjon typeing on youtube isn't as improtant idiot i have no reason to check my gammar as for my spelling its perfect moron i'd suggest highschool as you'll learn what your refering to is as i stated my grammar & punctuation.But again this is youtube it's not a fucking report or even worth anyones time to use proper grammar though if they want to that's their decision.Also there's no right or wrong way to write a sentence long as my words are correctly spelled with a period it's a win.

[bkeener86]

@milshorjon you only use other means of punctuation like (,?/"),You see but i'm writing a straight foward message but not a book or a report.What i said is the truth or close to it,Why else would she act so hostile toward copwatch employees who are there to protect her & her friends.The reason is quite clear either she's hiding something illegal or she's mad they're keeping the officers from harming her & her friends even though that's unlikely,Still it's not like it hasn't happened before.

[Fairisasfairdoes]

Wow. this video demonstrates how useless this whole campaign really is. The whole reason you do this is because you already KNOW the police are professional and will not violate your rights. As you've so aptly demonstrated, as soon as you encounter someone whose intentions are not so clear, you turn tail and run. Either film everyone or no one. if you really want to be useful, hang out around bars at closing time and film the ruffians attacking people.

[watchthisvideovb]

You have every right to be there but as a journalist you should NEVER participate!

You observe and report. You should become another excuse for a drunk to scream.

[theclubman]

good video he might have been to close but the cop told him to step back and he did and when they asked to shut the camera off he did i dont see what  they were so upset about unless they had something illegal on them LOL

[AJ41069]

got scared away buy a female civilain that was tryin to show off infront of a police officer!! yu should of stood your ground dude!!

[MobHeataEnt]

@AJ41069 and they probably received a ticket anyway lol they sound like some spoiled bratty upscale suburb white bitches anyway.

[301gunnar]

this is a clear cut case of obstruction of governmental administration.. this little liberal tulip not only enflamed the situation, he cause the cop to stop his investigation to deal with the guy with the camera. The cops did nothing wrong, stop pretending that filming the police is a real job and go out and work for a living

[sph1480]

I hope you realize that standing 2 feet from a police officer with a camera while he is doing his job is going to cause someone to really get hurt at some point if the officer diverts his attention to you, standing up his ass, instead of the actual situation. If not, then I hope one day when your filming the battery goes dead on your camera and the officer your filming turns to you and knocks you out!!!!!

[sph1480]

In my state there is a law called "interfering with a police investigation" and I can assure you if some 20 year old punk with a handycam shows up on my scene his ass is going to jail and that video will be seized and used against him in court. I hope you realize that standing 2 feet from a police officer with a camera while he is doing his job is going to cause someone to really get hurt at some point if the officer diverts his attention to you, standing up his ass, instead of the actual si

[sph1480]

Do you realize that your actions only bring more tension to situations that already have enough. You said "this will help your friend in court". The only thing you are going to help with the video Is the district attorney prove that some asshole was resisting arrest. You all think your doing such a great thing, but 99% of the videos I've seen shows that all you vigilantes have done is interfere where you don't belong(I have seen "some" that do good). In my state there is a law called "inter

[HEAVYGUNZ05]

the ladie in the car is fuckin dumb

[MRsikrim]

THAT COP WAS VERY PROFESSIONAL THO!!!

[membola]

noone wants your stupid camera in their face, find some cops who are actually beating someone half to death. all you are doing is annoying everyone involved and being a pain in the ass

[cigarman1026]

Wow! Now this was an INTENSE situation!! You guys are so freakin retarded, get a freakin life!! Or JOB for that matter. Oh wait, u probably have one flippin burgers somewhere, what you'll spend the rest of ur life doing.

[iThiZz925]

it was the dumbass sluts in the car that hyped up this situation. they obviously don't know the law, maknig complete fools out of themselves by saying it's breaking their privacy, ect. i don't see how this was a "tense" situation. the only thing tense were those girls, the officer was completely calm and professional.

[bstanko6]

i love how these cop watch dicks have to say something to interfere with police and provoke them. These watch dogs are punks and should all be arrested

[jebj1]

what if one of the passengers pulled out a gun and shot the cop and YOU? what u did is called OGA- obstucting government administration. Especially that one in the car is telling u to stop taping, you violated their rights and put every one in a dangerous situation. Not cool at all.

[jacobew2000]

@jebj1, its a BS law if thats the case! Besides, you are not obstructing anything by simply filming the situation. The police dont want things on video.

[jebj1]

@jacobew2000 True, you're not obstructing anything by just filming, but look at the chaos that YOU created. My point copies what SunSunSuperFun said. By communicating with the people in the car, you are obstructing and creating a dangerous situation. The cop now has to keep an eye on you instead of the perps in the car. That gives them the few seconds needed to hide drugs, or pull out a gun and start blasting.

[jacobew2000]

@jebj1, actually I do agree with you on this. Filming should be done at a "safe" distance from the situation. That is in fact probably going too far on the part of the filmographer.

[VoodooPolitico]

The photog SHOULD have backed away and just observed with his camera. He should NOT have involved himself in any way at all. HE made the situation WORSE by involving himself into something he shouldnt have. The photog screwed up. HOW can you be an observer, a "watcher", when you get involved with the situation and make it more difficult for the cops?

[Chinamexigirl]

@VoodooPolitico Exactly.  Just let the cops do their job. They're trying to protect the innocent.

[gotgank]

"You are obstructing me from conducting my investigation". I would have told you twice and then hooked you up. Interrupting an ongoing investigation includes interfering with a Police Officer interviewing possible suspects/witnesses.

U guys really need to come to SW Ohio. We would have fun. :)

[samala5793]

@MrGiantsbaseball First off, HUH? Is that English? Secondly, if you're so worried about showing good cops and good things...pick up a camera!!! (At least I think you were saying that only bad things are shown).

[topgun2166]

and one more thing, if you pussy cop watchers are going to watch cops you should watch all people to watch out for any people committing crimes that endanger good people ???

what about crimminals hurting people while they commit a crime ??? if you going to video tape cops you need to also video tape bad peopel and ask them for thier address and information so you can turn them in !!!!!

[topgun2166]

to all you pussie cop watchers, why don't you go and hide and video tape real hardcore police brutality against people who get f up by police, not police officers handing out citations and tickets, give me a break, you guys are scum to me, cause i have not seen one video from cop watchers that shows brutality or excessive force, just tickets and citations, and arrests without beating the crimminal to death ??????

[robinhoodintn1]

my brother who was cop for 9 years and quit because of some things police were told to do was not right, he said the first thing he was trained to do was to say [STOP RECISTING] that is an old saying cops use that to beat the hell out of you he told us that many cops will stop teenage girls and talk about SEX with them most girls are to scared to tell there parents or file a report .after he quit the force he was harresed by the police for going public about those things .

[kotsdoom1]

good deal on walking away, if some crazy nut is creating a scene and making a peaceful encounter with the cops a non peaceful encounter. then walk.

[at3private]

ummmm....this is a lame video. What the hell is the real point of this shoot? Personally, I think that the 'copwatch' videos I've seen thus far are more of a hindrance and intent to 'stir things up' with the police. You guys should really do something much more positive in the community, like film gang members, etc. There is really NO point to these videos whatsoever...

[6969carmen6969]

He should of charged that pig with theft, if I go in a store and took a lighter without paying for it I would be arrested. Take his badge # and file a complaint.

[badpanda84]

@6969carmen6969 "if I go in a store and took a lighter without paying for it I would be arrested. "

No you wont -- have you acutally tried that before.. You will probably jsut get told off and given a warning.

Imagine the shopkeeper calling the cops for a stolen lighter.. no shopkeeper wants to detain someone for an hour or so till the cops get there..

[KYKIN44]

It's obvious that the police are the common enemy of the people we all should demand that the police protect the constitution of the United State if they violate our rights they should go to prison The constitution more important than the rich people that they protect, they do not protect the average citizen The only thing that police give the average citizen is a traffic ticket that backdoor 4 the powerful people wife and I taking out our motor home and beaten jailed police will hurt you.

[MrLostDwarf]

Hey Yanks, ya know the difference between the "Press media" and a civilian videographer?

NOTHING. BOTH HAVE THE SAME RIGHTS..

and you should be supporting them both or your George Washington and his compatriots died for nothing.

[LMSTactical]

@MrLostDwarf Ummmm, I think you meant to say that GW LIVED for nothing. He died of old age :)

[Joshua2019]

@MrLostDwarf

I kinda see your point, but at least "press media" has some training of what the can and can't do. These guys just seem to wing it and hope they catch a cop on a bad day. In this video it even looks like they were trying cause problems in the hopes it would result in a good video.

They are morons..

[Jetownsu]

There's watching cops, and then there's being assclowns by involving yourselves in dialogue with the police and/or suspects, which could be construed as obstruction. You wanna watch cops? STFU and watch, morons.

[heatherrose2006]

You have a right to observe, by asking questions you involve yourself in the situation and they could possibly be right to consider it interfering with a police investigation. Remember we have a right to remain silent.

When someone says not to film them that usually means do not film them. What I recommend is filming from a far distance to avoid any confrontations like that. Another thing, do not put the police in an awkward place like that.

[SunSunSuperFun]

If the camera guy is reading this: at 2:42, you really should avoid speaking with the officer or any of the passengers in the car. Doing so places you at risk of an "interfering with an ongoing investigation" charge. If you silently stood back from the car 15ish feet and filmed without saying anything, it would be nearly impossible to be arrested.

@SunSunSuperFun Not even 15 feet away if he had stayed on public side walks and just watched there would be no problem. Unfortunately a lot of CopWatch people, or people who say their from CopWatch just want to fuck with officers and then bitch when it gets them into trouble. In these cases I would say the cops are right and this guy is a moron.

[BloatedSensations]

@SunSunSuperFun With Cops these days it's never "nearly impossible to be arrested." Nearly impossible to be convicted of any charge, sure. Nearly impossible to be arrested, no. They'll make up bogus charges on the spot, arrest you, hold you for a couple of hours and then drop the charges - just to, in their mind, let you know your place. I've seen it happen more than once.

@SunSunSuperFun but then he wouldnt be a pretentious asshole

[COPWatchersNetwork]

@SunSunSuperFun We agree with this statement, anything a cop watchers would need to know would automatically happen on camera without further interaction (aka police corruption) which I have not seen any here in this video.

[jimmynorton1001]

again the cops are in the right and these libs have no jobs and no lives and sound like idiots.

[6969carmen6969]

@jimmynorton go fuck yourself you nazi pig, this is not communist russia, no matter how much you would like it to be. Death to all tyrants!

[jimmynorton1001]

no fuck you

[6969carmen6969]

@jimmynorton Great comeback moron, how long did it take you to think of that one. LOSER!

[jimmynorton1001]

about 2 and a half hours

[blueliner24]

WHO was that annoying little bitch in the back seat?

[Anothercoilgun]

This is just another night in LA and LB California. I seen this shit my entire teenage life.

[Bostonthai]

Then the cop wants to make sure you guys are safe because you just pissed off what appeared to be drunk people and you give him an attitude. Whats the deal? Id like to see you guys do that in a state like LA, AZ, or Detroit those cops would just kick your a@#.

[Bostonthai]

Ok, why would you put the police in a situation like that? You getting people fired up put not only u in a bad spot but the cop. What if a fight breaks out now, between you three and the three in the car because you feel the need to be some do gooder. The cop is by himself.

[mackler]

Whoah.

[trp642]

I doesn't look like anybody did anything wrong. The guy that was arrested was angry, but there is no evidence the cops caused his anger. The girl who didn't want to be filmed was probably wanting to hide her identity for some reason we may never know. The Keene police were quite professional in this incident from what I can tell.

[Organjic]

The town police are fucking corrupt.

[GloriousCoconut]

This video had very little to do with the actual police, and offers no evidence of any police corruption.

Perhaps you meant your statement as applying generally rather than specifically, in which case I have no comment.

[Organjic]

It was my own comment, and they are corrupt. I would like to see further information about this arrest to determine their further incompetence.

[FTLIan]

Dude, where did you go? Are you coming back?

[Organjic]

My future in NH looks dim. I'm focused on getting out of debt. Thanks for asking though!
