Cop: "You can't record audio" (Concord, New Hampshire cops)

[g46Io]

fraud

[g46Io]

didn't know writing in chalk is the way to stop torture

[smallcell11]

i never knew it was legal to to write chalk on police/federal property

[malesor123]

DONT GIVE ME THAT B.S. WITH US DEMOCIDE NO COUNTRY IN HISTORY HAS A CLEAN BACKROUND... THATS A BUNCH OF BS... that was war and we didnt start WWII... I am simply stating the facts about NH, one of the safest states in the country, where this prison state you claim to see and live in doesnt exist only in your fantasy.... 

[malesor123]

you wanna see a police state.. look at syria lol

[malesor123]

do u losers have a job... actually do something instead of protesting and smoking pot

[TheoryByDesign]

So is NH really as free as people say it is?

[kiwimjs]

The best part was the cop just standing there as the camera moved back LMAO!!!

[malesor123]

@kiwimjs he is put in an awkard situationlol that guy with the camera is wierd

[oliver123465]

OMG classic line man!! I love it!!



[charlieiscool1000]

why do they look just like LAPD officers is it the same or samilier uniform

[porsche187]

I DONATED 50,000 TO UR BIKE RIDE

[PersonguydudeWB]

LOL like everyone else said that line about stepping back is so awesome.

[antonlee43]

@itchyundies I'm worried about me, not America. I don't have any control over America, but I do have control over my actions. I work very hard adding value to items I possess daily.

[frogprince81]

that last little bit was classic

[nilesmc]

love it.

[eneffect]

wow what a stupid and futile form of protest. just as ridley said, you are asking for a reaction.

[antonlee43]

@eneffect and? One person chalking surely would have been arrested.

[Covey1969]

That was the funniest shit I have seen in a long time.

[NoLongerFooled]

Is it really true that you can't audio record cops in NH? When did that happen?

[GloriousCoconut]

@NoLongerFooled They like to say you can't. It's completely false. That doesn't stop them from threatening felony charges though.

[NoLongerFooled]

ANOTHER fat cop? That makes 3 for 3 on the NH Liberty videos I have watched tonight!

[memphetic]

@NoLongerFooled Looks more like a security officer to me, brah.

[MEpianist]

Where's part II?

[nieldsb]

ahahha so that i cant hear you..i love it

[badace]

Great response to his request to not being audio recorded :)

[downlowfunk]

Chalk EM!!!

[Tour4Liberty]

this cool video :)

[GaurdDuck]

@yeomalt2

Yeah, That was freaking EPIC!

[Resvrgam]

How do we get a vote or propose a bill to repeal this craptastic/fascist law that doesn't allow citizens/cilivians to record law enforcement officials? Hell, with laws like this in place, we'll have more and more Rodney King scenarios play out unwitnessed.

Seriously, how the f*** did this law even get passed in the first place?! The US has become a joke of a country full of waaaay too many "They Live" references to be funny.

[memphetic]

Notice how the activists mostly looked like crackwhores....?

[antonlee43]

@memphetic where do you get your crack? The only thing about me that was crackwhore like was that shot dave did of the big crack of my ass.

[sam75iam]

so then what happened?

[hampsom]

that was great. 

[TheOriginalJoeBloggs]

Did he consent to being audio recorded then? The videos doesn't show it so I am presuming not, did you stop recording?? acoms razor ;)

[antonlee43]

@TheOriginalJoeBloggs no one needed his consent for anything. If he doesn't want to be audio recorded, he can hide in his house.

[TheOriginalJoeBloggs]

@antonlee43 - just as I thought

[BLLAARRRGG]

lmao ridley that was funny

[chewbaca1989]

If police interaction is a matter of public record why the FREAK is it a problem to record them? BullSSSSSSSHHHH

[hasatum]

@chewbaca1989 I assume the problem was not recording police as much as it was recording federal property. There is some justification for this since you don't want people coming in with telescopic microphones aimed into the windows of confidential meetings, but it does seem a bit over the top to use that as a justification for stopping what was obviously a normal camera across the street from the building.

[wdcsucks1]

is that the US embassy in NH?

[illbefuct]

LMFAO !!! that was great ..."ok so I'll just back up so i can't hear you....." LOL

[Maat922]

LOL RIDLEY! THAT was a masterpiece. Even I was dumbfounded for a second there and I was expecting something. I can't wait to see how that crooked shitbag handles that one. "...can't record audio...". Please.

[livvidd]

These cops seem to be quite reasonable. New Hampshire must be a great place to grow up.

[xTROJANxX]

lol

[cdamauser1963]

Always seems the first inclination of 'our' servants is to take our chalk away--

[mrbunnylamakins]

lol that was a good call to step back

[katards]

Isn't Federal property really the people's property?

[hasatum]

@katards No more so than a military base is the people's property. Even if it were though, there are limits on what can be done with public property. If McDonald's cannot plaster ads on the front steps of city hall then neither can political activists.

[katards]

@hasatum Only a corporate shill would compare a mega corporation to a human being.

[hasatum]

@katards I agree that corporations should not legally qualify as persons.Consider it a different way: The people who work at McDonalds cannot post advertisements on the front steps of city hall so political activists, all of them from Dick Cheney supporters to liberty activists, can't either. Fair?

[katards]

@hasatum Not fair. Can't compare corporate advertising with political activism. It's just sad that the people's voice has been stifled to the point of temporary graffiti on a public wall with goons hanging over every scribble. We have put up with way too much bullshit from people who are supposed to be serving our interests to get to this point.

[hasatum]

@katards So, you're willing to let our public buildings be smeared with political ads? Don't you think the established government won't be more effective at that than you? Or do you think that it's OK for you to do it, but not OK for them? I understand your frustration, but you really need to think these things through a bit more. There are plenty of ways of being effective without compromising your morals. If you're going to be the good guy, you have to be good.

[katards]

@hasatum What's your definition of good? Is our established government good? How do you think it was established? I think you need to think things through more thoroughly. You be good. BTw, I have never smeared an ad anywhere, nor do I plan to. What we are talking about is the current situation of people who are using chalk not so much to smear political ads, but to make obvious the police state. And I never claimed to be the good guy.

[hasatum]

@katards If you aren't trying to be the good guy, then what are you trying for? Why bother to point out a police state if you aren't fighting for a higher ideal?

[katards]

@hasatum I am for a higher ideal. I'm just not looking to win any awards for teachers pet, perfect attendance, or excellence in handwriting. I wonder if you have the discernment to recognize who the real good guys are.

[hasatum]

@katards Highly commendable! Morality is only authentic when it is done for its own sake. However, if you want people to be able to discern who the real good guys are, then it is critical that you look like good guys. I'm pretty sure that defacing public property isn't the right way to do that.

[katards]

@hasatum How is writing with chalk that will wash away with the next rain or strong wind storm defacing property? Also it is interesting how you see yourself in relation to me. Praising me with "highly commendable!" Are you a school principal or do you hold some other position that entails having authority over children?

[hasatum]

@katards Will you argue that chalk is acceptable if I scrawl it across the front of your house? No harm done? As for my view of you, I wonder what you were expecting to get for you appeal. A cookie? I ignored your implied criticism of me. Perhaps you can live with faint praise?

[katards]

@hasatum If you pay to maintain my house, I won't mind if you write with chalk on it.

[hasatum]

@katards Oh but I do! Nevermind the bailouts of the banks that probably own your house anyway. There are a thousand different ways in which my tax dollars entitle me to a share of some portion of your property.

[katards]

@hasatum No one owns my property but me. And with that I'm ending this inane conversation.

[hasatum]

@katards LOL! Sucks doesn't it! Don't you see that I also dislike this arrangement? You SHOULD own your property. But you don't. Until liberty activists are successful at least. I'm convinced that so long as they limit themselves to silly gambits like this one, you will continue to live at the mercy of the majority.

[katards]

@hasatum You think you know my situation, but you don't. You are right though about the majority of Americans. And if "silly gambits" begin to help people feel a little empowered, then they may lead to bigger gambits later that will make a difference. You shouldn't put people down. What are you doing to start the ball rolling other than making earth-shattering arguments like, "you wouldn't like it if I did that to your house...." (read with a whiny voice.)

[hasatum]

@katards No I don't know your situation but I do know that property is property and I wouldn't want anyone to chalk up my place. You are right that small steps are important to a sense of empowerment that enables bigger steps. As for what I'm doing, I'm trying to teach students that freedom matters, that they can choose their own future if they first master themselves. What are you doing?

[antonlee43]

@hasatum you should teach them about the trajedy of the commons.

[katards]

@hasatum In fact, if you pay to have it built and maintained, I'll thank you for letting me live in your house, and won't have much to say about your writing with chalk on it, even if I don't like it much.

[antonlee43]

@hasatum you have zero ownership of my house. If you were to chalk on my private property you would be committing a crime against another person. Public property is owned by everyone, and thus also owned by me. If I choose to chalk it, you have just as much right to come by and wash it off as I'm doing it. To put forth the insane idea that my private property is somehow yours because of what government has done to banks is rather naive and shows a lack of principle or fact.

[hasatum]

@antonlee43 So, if you want to post pictures of Bush all over our property because you want to, but I don't want you to, who gets to decide? There is an understanding that whoever we vote on gets to decide. The fact that I am able to clean it is irrelevant since my right to use the building as a good city hall has been compromised. As for private property, the bank probably owns your house and can evict you. The government owns the bank and I as a citizen make up the government. Perverse huh?

[hasatum]

@katards I'll agree with you on one thing: you are right to be suspicious of teachers. If you don't want to be talked down to, then do what you can to elevate the discourse.

[darkwillow57]

@hasatum

That's the problem with so-called public property. Everyone owns it, therefore no one owns it. An imaginary collective known as "the people" owns this so if I own it, then I can chalk it, spray paint it, or whatever. If I don't really own it, then why do I have to pay for it to be maintained? If you want to use the word morality, then why not look at the morality of using force or threats of force against people that people calling themselves a government perpetuate regularly?

[hasatum]

@darkwillow57 Given that other people also pay for those buildings, what do you think they feel about activists who write on it? Are they likely to be impressed? Will they tend to have a positive association with the message scrawled on their buildings or a negative one? As for morality, are you arguing that two wrongs make a right?

[katards]

Ha, I just visited your channel, and you are, in fact, a teacher! And apparently a very brainwashed one. You should not take your classroom tone with adults. People might think that you're a pain in the you know what. @hasatum

[darkwillow57]

@hasatum This sort of protest can reinforce the stereotype of anarchists being punks who destroy property. Some people won't get the moral subtleties. There is nothing morally wrong with what they did. It wasn't destructive,chalk washes off. It wasn't private property so no one was harmed because no one owns it. Maybe it's not the most effective protest, who knows, but I applaud their efforts to fight for true freedom. Better than bombing angry poor people in foreign lands.

[hasatum]

@darkwillow57 I'll join you in applauding the fact that this was non-violent. While the damage was negligible, it required that people come out to wash up and that cost a small amount of money which comes to the same thing. If you want to argue that no one owns it, I think you will find a lot of people paying for it who disagree. Whether they should pay for it is a different question.

[FlailingJunk]

Removing chalk is one of the least offensive things that the people calling themselves government do.

[malesor123]

@FlailingJunk they should be arrested for graffiti

[FlailingJunk]

@malesor123

Well, thank you for reminding me about this year old video. Your comment is very interesting. Could you tell me what it is about chalking a government building to make a statement about great evils preformed by the state that makes it right to put the person making that statement in a cage where they might be beaten or raped?

[malesor123]

@FlailingJunk the holding cells are nothing like that... especially in new hampshire... someone has to apply the law people cant do whatever it is they please

[FlailingJunk]

@malesor123

What matters for this discussion is what you want rather then the reality of NH jails, so lets say that the holding cells are safe. I agree that people should not do whatever they want to do, but having a violent monopoly that makes and enforces laws is not the only way to have a society with rules. Those people are not protesting for the right to chalk anything they want. They are trivially breaking the law to draw attention to the evils of the state.

[malesor123]

@FlailingJunk what evils.. i go about my life everyday and i dont see this imaginary violent police state that you see. how should we fix this problem you percieve

[FlailingJunk]

@malesor123

Throwing people in cages with sociopaths where they are likely to be beaten or raped for non-violent crimes. The violent collection of taxes to fund, among other things: warrantless searches, secret courts, secret evidence, extraordinary rendition, indefinite detention, military tribunals, and torture. Google: USA democide

I prefer to stick to a topic. So lets resolve the question of if United States government does great evil before moving on.

[malesor123]

@FlailingJunk sure the US government does evil, so does every single country in the world. Unfortunately thats how we survive, for looking out for our own interests, we are human after all. I wont defend the U.S. government foreign policy actions because I have no say in it; but I live in the greatest country in the world where I am free to be whatever i want to be... the only reason you would feel violated is if you're breaking the law.. and i would gladly/swiftly lock u up

[FlailingJunk]

@malesor123

Your deleted comment was a reply to me and I can read it in my inbox. I am not going to waste my time debating with a racist.

[malesor123]

@FlailingJunk i dont know what you are talking about

[malesor123]

@FlailingJunk seems that someone hacked into my account..

[FlailingJunk]

@malesor123

The comment seems to have disappeared from my inbox.

[antonlee43]

@hasatum good guy or bad is a matter of perception. I see government people harming others everyday. Even if they're taking a quick break from harming others, they're still getting paid with dollars that were stolen from others (harm)

[antonlee43]

@hasatum no thank you. Those limits are just things written down by other people who also claim to own the public property. I could write down whatever it is I wanted for my share of public property and that would not make you liable to follow it. Trajedy of the commons.

[prayfortruejustice]

I love that line ... I watched it ten times and I laughed each time.

"I'm gonna have to step back ... so I can't hear you..."

LMAO An instant Ridley classic to be sure.

[itsagass]

@prayfortruejustice that was awesome! the cop apparently had no idea what to do next.

[nhfoos]

Where is the second video?

[anarchistassilum]

ridley don't be a dick tease with that cop footage lol.

[adventuresineurope]

That was so great. "I'm gonna have to step back from you". : )

[2xtream]

We must never stop, giving way to the injustice! Keep up the good work.. BTW to Protest is to acknowledge what you're protesting to be lawfully. Protest legally means to "Cry or Whine" about an injustice or something you want changed, This gives way to your belief that whatever your protesting has legal right or lawful account! So rather then protest just do not accept the injustice and say you do not recognize there false hoods....

[2xtream]

@2xtream so do not protest. walk with signs stating what injustice and crimes they are committing and seek filing charges against them... File a law suit !!! Take the City to court !!!

[jsmith2142]

FUCK THIS

[bulldogcronic721]

whens it gona be continued

[hasatum]

My understanding is that a large contingent of these activists are free market advocates for whom property is sacrosanct. Is "chalking" federal property going to promote that value? Why are these activists trying to provoke a response from law enforcement? They look like whiny kids looking for attention. I thought they were trying to build up a free community, not go looking for fights...

[comradepinko]

@hasatum I think they would interpret the federal property as being stolen to begin with anyways, although I couldn't tell you what the goal of the protest was.

[hasatum]

@comradepinko If you want to go that route, then most Americans should be deported to Europe, Africa, and Asia. Virtually all property was stolen at one point but that doesn't mean it shouldn't be protected. Two wrongs do not make a right.

[antonlee43]

@hasatum is that so? I don't know about you, but I stole nothing. I was popped out of my mother's womb here. I've never been to any of those places. Unfortunately when I was born someone had written something down a long time ago that told them it was okay to steal from me. They weren't correct.

[hasatum]

@antonlee43 Please follow the argument. Just as it is inane to suppose that all non-native Americans should be deported, it is ridiculous to suggest that federal property can be disregarded because it was originally taken in an illegitimate way.

[antonlee43]

@hasatum funny, all I was doing was expressing my opinion on property I own. You can do the same if you want. Come down and spray off my chalk and see me wait until it dries and chalk it again. Nothing about looking for a fight. If I were to look for a fight I would go to the police station and harm someone. I don't harm people.

[hasatum]

@antonlee43 I know that you don't look to harm people, but as Ridley mentioned, those involved said beforehand that they were looking to force a reaction. Spreading a message is one thing but antagonizing police in the hopes of creating media buzz is another. I applaud those standing up to unjust authority, and I even harbor a soft spot for certain kinds of graffiti, but I think that this particular method is improper and counterproductive. I much prefer the community service approach.

[9mmThePlayerSlayer]

lmao awesome ending

[limitedgovt999]

Loved the part about audio recording and stepping back! If you can't record it, no sense in hearing it.

[WeAreChangeBoston]

awesome video! awesome action! im going to share it on facebook now.

[teddyernie]

hahah the cop was like umm now what? what just happened ? hahaha nice EPIC

[MATTNATTMATT]

white chalk on white stone. whats the point?

and it dident look like he took her chalk, looked like he tested to see what it was.

so, when does he order a camera shut off? oh, yes, he dident

[antonlee43]

@MATTNATTMATT dident he? lol arrest usually means they turn your camera off.

learn to spell please.

[MATTNATTMATT]

@antonlee43

he dident arrst anyone. what did i spell wrong? nothing to my knowlege.

[capitalist4life]

They should be chalking it up at night. They're just asking to be harassed when they do it in the daytime.

[antonlee43]

@capitalist4life eh, I sleep at night. I didn't ask for anything except a new peice of chalk. It's not up to me to stop others from harassing me, it's up to them to go find something better to do with their time. In the end, they weren't writing anyone tickets. You can thank me later.

[FlailingJunk]

Epic two party consent maneuver. 

[diogeneslaertius666]

US out of NH, lol i love you guys

[diogeneslaertius666]

@diogeneslaertius666 if i lived in NH I would gladly be camera2

someone get this dudes back

[tomniemiller]

@diogeneslaertius666 That's a reference to the John Birch Society's mantra "Get U.S. out of the U.N"

[diogeneslaertius666]

@tomniemiller people mocked JBS for so long because the media programmed them to - crocodile tears now right?

People are coming around though like Never before in human history and the process is accelerating.

Resistance Itself is Victory.

[diogeneslaertius666]

@tomniemiller i did not fully appreciate the contextual reference at first but now it is even more awesome, tbh I did not study the JBS as much as I should have and only became familiar with all of their courageous and excellent work after 9/11 etc

[MoCityDon1508]

LOL

[jdouglasfisher]

HAHAHA, what is the cop afraid of? Afterall, they always ask us why we're afraid of talking to them...

Kat is a very brave woman,

J.

[Kaenanthebarbarian]

that was a smart move there at the end dave.

[oyate1960]

Hilarious ending

[l1nuxun1l]

Is new hampshire not a one party consent state?

[MEpianist]

Who does he think he is? If anyone takes you to court, please make a case out of it. I think we all need more clarity on the clarity of "wiretap" laws, when it comes to protecting the public from outlaw cops.

Well handled, anyway.
