  • The author of the video is a liar. There is no letter of apology.

  • Tease the cops in your city... genius... if your like 16 years old! When will cop watchers grow up and use their efforts to go after the criminals who deal drugs, steal cars, pimp out under age girls, rob people on the street, gang bang, rape people and commit home invasions? Well, it's easier and safer to hate on the good guys I guess

  • @DUSK4YOU your wrong on that cop watch is there to make sure the cops are not busting heads or taseing for no reason.also it helps the cop out if someone screamed police abuse and nothing happened.it helps out both ways.watch the Darren ring video on you tube or Google DARREN ring in tn and see what happen when no one was around with a camera.

  • @DUSK4YOU Everything you just said is exactly what the cops are doing. The cops are the worst criminals on the street.

  • @DUSK4YOU "Tease the cops?" Getting criminalas (ie) drugs, cars, pimping etc is supposed to be the cops JOB. Copwatch is merely recording it when the cops do "their JOB." When are the cops going to stop breaking the law themselves? It is illegal to take peoples' possessions (even as evidence) without a subpoena. That's called stealing. If you did it; and returned the camera you would still have to answer charges. I didn't see/hear any hatred from the cameraman. Just a cop playing control freak! 

  • @ohannahdad "Copwatch is merely recording it when the cops do "their JOB."

    Funny thing is that asusming people at copwatch actually have a job --- they would complaint if people followed them to work and filmed them.

    Do you follow ( for example) a bank teller with a camera in his face and asking him all kinds of questions ( to make sure he dosent fill in his paperwork incorrectly)

  • @badpanda84 The bank teller works for the bank. The bank tapes them doing their job, and questions them about any wrong doing. They dont work for me. LEO(s) work for me. They are public servants and we the people are the public. Filming cops should not be just an idea;....it is a responsibility. Cops should be held accountable for their actions even more so than anyone else due to the nature of their job.

  • @ohannahdad "LEO(s) work for me. They are public servants and we the people are the public"

    So the police have there own chain of command and question them about any wrong doing --

    And its a myth that they work for you --

    But by your logic then the person who works at the driving licensing centre , should be harrased with a camera -- after all they are a public servent

  • @badpanda84 As long as my tax dollars pay police salaries;.....yes, they work for me! People at the licensing center are taped, and so are you when you go there. You keep on bringing other jobs into the equation, and saying harrased!! Bank tellers and license center employees are not armed, their actions in dealing with people are different. Everywhere you go people are being filmed. Why is it (in your eyes) being "harrased" if it's cops but everyone else should just go along with it??

  • @ohannahdad OK maybe its not the case in this video  but in many "copwatch" videos they arent simply filming -- they usually are interfering with police

  • @badpanda84 I have seen people with cameras get too close to LEOs doing their job and they were reprimanded for doing so. The jerk with the camera earned it. I also saw cops cross a two streets and grab a camera out of someones hands, or a cop come on a persons front porch and demand the camera. Most copwatch people want the tape without fear of confrontation, or losing the camera & tape. These "interfearing" people rarely are convicted of anything, set free, and the cop gets reprimanded

  • @ohannahdad "Cops should be held accountable for their actions even more so than anyone else due to the nature of their job."

    yes but they dont actually report to you -- in fact they dont actually work for you --

    because if they truely did work for you -- you could simply fire the cops -- but of course you can't do that

  • @badpanda84 The job is called civil service. Obviously no one person can fire a civil service worker. If charges are brought up against a LEO, they must be backed up by evidence. Make room for the video camera. The cops use cameras; why shouldn't the people have the same right? I get the impression that you are a cop or have some association with cops. I have cops in my family and they are NOT bothered by people with cameras.Why do you have this "how dare you film cops" attitude?? It's pointless

  • @ohannahdad "The cops use cameras; why shouldn't the people have the same right? "

    Not really -- and if they do they dont "shove a camera in someones face -- and harass them..

  • @badpanda84 I think cops and anti copwatch people just can't stand civilians having the same rights as cops when it comes to video taping. I can only imagine the stress surrounding weapons being legally carried ( open carry & concealed) by civilians. The governing body should always fear the people. The people should never fear the governing body. Civil servants are put in place to govern & operate according to the peoples rules;..not their own. Otherwise the tail is wagging the dog!!

  • Right on cop watch

  • the one cop tells him to hold on but he came to take it anyway. blonde cop has a nice butt though.

  • did you get the camera back?

  • @roaringwaterbay at 1:10 in the video it says it was returned 2 days later with an apology letter from the sheriff.

  • @1775novten ah . . . thanks for the info.

  • @roaringwaterbay I'm just glad the sheriff recognized and acknowledged the mistake of his deputies. Most just take the sides of their deputies and could care less about citizen's rights.

  • @1775novten maybe the D.A. told the sheriff that if he didn't take some remedial action he was opening up the department up to a lawsuit.

  • COPS think they are so slick! Using false testimony such as evidence. That is why they are still cops and not lawyers!

  • Fuck all pigs!!!!!

  • NAZI Medosto, California Adolf Hitler NAZI cop with a gun and a badge decided to be an ASSHOLE and steel a camera from a private cititzen. VIOLENT MONOPOLY!!!!!!

  • That was not illegal... the cop was actually very smart in saying that he was taking it for evidence!

  • @sfcgfc2628: Was there a suspicion that the camera itself was used in a crime?

    Better yet, are subpoena's no longer used?

  • This seems to be the answer the cops have come up with to stop filming but can they do it legally?

  • I see a whole lot of unanswered questions... Mostly, evidence of what crime?

    Did the suspect in the blue shirt do something the cop thought was caught on video?

    It's best to directly upload to the internet - that way you can tell the cop. "this equipment holds no evidence, this event is being uploaded to a website as we speak. hand him a card with your info & a address to the site. "The camera is being used in a legal manner. Am I being detained? I do not consent to search.

  • @ReformBarackObama You do not need to consent to a search, it was evidence of arrest. This is the problem with all the self proclaimed youtube lawyers, everyone thinks the police are violating thier rights when in fact you are teaching the police how to get away with doing shady things like taking the camera... it is now evidence, and the police officer does not need your permission or consent to take it... sorry about your luck.

  • @sfcgfc2628 said: "@sfcgfc2628 said: "police officer does not need your permission or consent to take it"

    I don't believe this is true. Please provide the applicable statute or court decision giving officers the authority to confiscate a camera that was was not used in a suspected crime.

  • @Pafoofnik1 If what you are holding IS truly evidence or it reasonable to think it could hold evidence then the cop can take it and present it with his case...

    Example: Say you are at the beach, you have a cam on -- someone is hurt or killed -- even though YOU don't think you filmed anything that would help to solve the crime, a cop has a reasonable reason to look over your footage. (it that means taking your cam to the station to do it then you will get your cam back later) It's reasonable.

  • @sfcgfc2628 If a camera is uploading directly to the internet and NOT recording - what evidence does this cop think he is going to offer the court? Go ahead be specific...

    The answer is -- the camera holds no evidence - the website does! I said to hand the cop a card that gives them the address to the site. If they want they can copy it - If they want it taken down send a court order to the domain.

    What part of this didn't you understand?

  • @ReformBarackObama I do not know of any camera's that automatically sends the video to the internet without storing it on the device itself.

    I think the problem now is that you know that the officer was right, and you are trying to make excuses for yourself. The officer clearly stated that the camera was being taken as "evidence". You do knot know what happened prior to the start of this video shown on Youtube.

  • @ReformBarackObama This could be a clear case of exigent circumstances where the video evidence can be destroyed prior to a subpoena or warrant being obtained. Also, I highly doubt the the person who posted this video posted the whole thing. If there was evidence on the video, he could be charged with interfering with a police investigation.

    I think it is time you go back to internet lawyer school and get refreshed.

  • @sfcgfc2628 Oh I see the part you did not understand -- its the part -- where I was telling him HOW to not get the camera taken...

    I'm not sure you understand the technology I was explaining -- there is no recording on the camera?

    And as fare as taking away the camera AFTER you just handed him a card EXPLAINING where the cop can find it, sorry... You're just wrong.

  • @sfcgfc2628 As far as taking the camera so that the video (evidence) is not remotely destroyed? The Cop has to have reasonable suspicion that the person TAKING the video is not cooperating, (remember you just handed him a card telling him where he can find the video) and you as an officer can articulate in court why you suspect that the very person that was just taking the footage may try and destroy it...

    Under the circumstances that I just laid out - the cop would be in deep shit.

  • @sfcgfc2628: Does this mean you won't be providing the proof that I asked for?

    Why won't you back up your claims?

  • @Pafoofnik1 Not sure what proof you asked for, or even what claims I am to be backing up? I never made claims, just laid down simple reasons why the officer took the camera.

  • Bad cop - no donut

  • Theft and assault all under color of law. He should have been charged and suspended.

  • Fucking skinhead cop, you need to get a pi to get his address, then give that to some hard pipe-hittin niggas. Turn it into bacon!

  • @canisdormit That would be a bad mistake.

  • @911jreed couldnt be worse than the mistake your parengs made eh?

  • It is best to have a cellular camera running as a backup camera by a second party whose main job is to video tape you. Now with this second cellular camera setup a service on it like Qik com or something. That way as soon as you finish filming the camera automatically uploads the vid to the internet. Then they can take the camera all they want, but the video is already on the Internet

  • Can you say, paranoid,? whats the matter, pig ,afraid someone saw what you did? What did you do?Why did he want to review that video? Because he must have committed a crime, and wanted to erase it. He stole the camera so hes a thief to begin with, and a lier, So What did he do @ that house?

  • did he have an "instant warrant"?.I have the right,that cop didn't have a right to jack shit.People are not aware of alot of things under the law,you can refuse them entry into your home or search your vehicle or claim that they can take a recording device.Without a warrant they don't have a pot to piss in so they make threats,hopefully cops are reading this and are aware of what they MAY NOT DO.Too bad tax money was wasted on their so called eduaction to become a bully,oops I mean a cop.

  • I would break the camera so he wouldn't have proof that I took who are the going to believe the cops word or the word of some punk who has nothing better to do then cause problems.

  • @wolliollie joey i can tell u dont read much by what you say on ur channel,ur a complete moron just the cops in the vid

  • @genzigg386 First of all I'm not Joey but is his channel and mine, second of all I was fucking around with that comment although I don't think cop watchers are dipshits, and third of all I can you don't read much because of your comment. Who spells you're like ur, not to mention the other stupid shit that prove you don't know how to write. =D

  • @genzigg386 Meant to say I do think cop watchers are dipshits.

  • @RHHRorg haha thats true huh..hows he gunna say u didnt get it back bt its on here..did the police post it?lm,fao

  • You do have the right to video record. The cop does not have the right to take anything. You were on a public sidewalk. It is perfectly legal to record any police activity on a public space.

  • What is the song at the end?

    Man that cop is ignorant...

  • song?

  • send a message. shoot a cop.

  • america rise up..

  • you are not actually allowed to film or take pictures of a ongoing investigation

    the sheriff could have handled it better but he wasnt in the wrong

    just understand that

  • @raph1428 said: "you are not actually allowed to film or take pictures of a ongoing investigation"

    Got a cite to this law you just made up?

  • @raph1428 So in your little world, all of the people who filmed criminal activities of the police--such as the Rodney King beating--should have been arrested? Got it.

  • When criminals are doing wrong they will use a badge and a gun to protect their stories.

  • Is that Steve Wilkos?

  • ACAB (All Cops Are Bastards)

    They HATE being filmed because they know they are dirty. Just like how a criminal doesn't want his picture taken! 

  • DId you attempt to prosecute the cop for theft?

  • Comment removed

  • Hope Modesto PD gets rid of all of its dirty craps.

  • another hotshot cop, and they wonder why people shot at them

  • COPWATCHELLENSBURG or russelljds

  • @BFD2245: Again with the 'maybe'?

    You may doubt away all you wish. I'll stick to what's in the video.

    Of course you are telling me what to do. Read your comment again.

    Or are you just to immature to deal with the fact that someone may disagree with you?

  • Comment removed

  • @BFD2245: You want to tell me what to do now? So be it.

    I think you are wrong. I do not think an officer can confiscate a camera unless it was directly used in the commission of a crime. My investigations agree with my belief.

    I have searched myself and and asked those who disagree to come up with any statute or legal decision that allows such a confiscation. To date, no one has been able to present independently verifiable proof.

    You may disagree, but it doesn't really matter without proof.

  • @BFD2245: Please stop using 'what if' and 'maybe'. I am not going to debate every single iteration that may exist outside of the facts at hand.

  • @BFD2245: Hypothesizing "what if" scenarios can twist a video until the cows come home. I'll stick with what's in the video and the description, and any other independently verifiable facts regarding the incident.

    "As for an exact penal code in CA there ITSN'T one " Stop. If there's isn't legal authority to confiscate, then doing so would be done outside of the law.

    Who said anything about the press?

  • @BFD2245: You are correct. A subpoena is only for the production of documents and other evidence relating to a suspected crime. Please cite the statute that explicitly allows the seizing of a camera used only for recording this type of encounter.

    Remember, we are talking about someone simply videotaping. We are not talking about videoing porn or upskirt. Nor are we talking about after the cameraman is arrested, or suspected federal terrorism.

    I'll wait right here for that cite.

  • @BFD2245: When did they do away with the requirement for a subpoena?

  • "I have the right to observe" ."No you Dont" wow, how ignorant was that cop?

  • @bubbaroy73 U must have not thought out ur lie 2 well. IF WE DIDNT GET THE FOOTAGE BACK HOW WAS THIS VIDEO MADE GENIUS!! (that must b embarassing 4 u) the pigs cant keep ur footage any more than they can take ur camera! both were retured a couple days later with the apology letter. do us a favor, get adam christianson on camera saying he didnt send any letter and put it on youtube, u wont get it because he knows he sent it, and if he does say that, it will b fun 2 prove he's lying!

  • @RHHRorg get a job hippy and quit filming people who have jobs!

  • @bubbaroy73 you're a moron.

  • @bubbaroy73 what the fuck man? How dumb are you?

  • @bubbaroy73 I agree, this is bullshit... You swear like law enforcement bows on their knees to your good-for-nothing group.

  • Good job CopWatch. We need more copwatch going on. Just make sure it's done right so they don't end up passing laws making it illegal to video them. They are already trying to do this. So be sure that you do it exactly right so you don't give them any leverage to pass this legislation. Know What You're Doing so you do it right.

  • That cop needed his ass kicked

  • Fuck the Police! No wonder people want to kill these scum. Next time film them with a sniper scope.

  • Wow...how fucking sickenibg, these power hungry bastards. They are supposed to be servants of the people.

  • very true, but only certain cops, most others dont kiss ass this much!!!!....

    .....good piggy, here's a promotion!!!!

  • That Cop Rocks!!!

  • You should have filed criminal charges against that idiot cop

  • @elitedefense72 yeah he should have as a florida highway patrol officer this video & many more of police in other districts & states have me constantly in a piss poor mood though i refuse to take it out on my community or any citizen.I feel as if i'm a member of a endangered species as it's becoming clear more & more officers are sellingout to the bankers & wealthy instead of protecting & serveing the public as they swore an oath to as i did & still do.I hope oneday they all pay for their crimes

  • wow how'd that end?!? get it back? you got OWNED by a complete dickhead, let's hope they all dont start pulling that bullshit line. Fucking cops, how can that be justified? How can he do that...tell him you'll send him a fucking certified copy and to fuck off. fuck that makes me mad, FUCK! peace from Canada(now with the internet)

  • Comment removed

  • "no you dont" lulz.

  • Do you guys have nothing better to do than to try to "Catch Cops in the act?" they are trying to do their jobs and people like you make it more difficult to uphold the law. You are just trying to catch another Rodney King indecent and the truth of the matter is that doesn't happen.

  • @coltman78 How is making sure the cops do what they are supposed to do as tax payers bad? They work for us, so get the fuck out of here. As the pigs always say, 'if you have nothing to hide, then what's the problem?'

  • @HappyHookerTV Wipe the pork grease off your lips you get from blowing pigs.

  • bald head, jeans and double drop leg holsters make him look like a fag

  • Police States of America.

  • Modest suxx...they have old redneck cocksucker cops, who..are cops because they are nazis.

  • You had the right to tell him to request a copy. And if he persisted to demand his supervisor on the subject.

  • Im going in and offering to do the sheriff job for 40k a year with insurance and i wont take any cameras.

  • Take it for evidence? What evidence could that be for and against? Sounds like bs made up on the spot to me.

  • What's the name of the song?

  • bacon is bacon

  • This Deputy should be released from law enforcement immediately! Let me quote

    the law. " An officer who acts in violation of the Constitution ceases to respect the government." Brookfield Construction Company vs Stewart 284 F. supp 94

    The United States Supreme Court said " The exercising of ones constitutional right can not be made into a crime." Doing so is a felony,and that is a crime. As I recall you can NOT be a peace officer with a FELONY!! he has to go via Grand Jury and DOJ!

  • @7ghostryder Sounds about right to me. The only way I know that it could be made wrong to film officers on the job out in the public is if someone somehow would splice in things the officer didn't really do. A good friend of mine who is a very honest and honorable officer (an old guy who really is protecting and serving) is that they are afraid of being caught wrong so they take the camera and PRAY nobody says anything to the chief/sheriff. OH no. Those days are gone.

  • If you are going to be doing what your are doing you should also get a cell phone that can broad cast a second vid to internet real time.. It is not very good quality video.

    That way when the cop takes the camera and beats you to a pulp you have a record of what happened. Also proof for iad Some states have state licensing for cops that is where you should be complain of theft and abuse. If not them, then the fbi.

    It seem you got your camera back so not as bad as it could have been

  • I SUPPORT strong, aggressive law enforcement. But this cop is just an asshole. He had NO RIGHT to take away a citizens camera as "evidence". It doesnt work like that. Of course, it had nothing to do with "evidence", the cop just hates the fact that he loses a little tiny bit of control when a citizen doesnt show fear and immediate compliance to a badge.

  • Apologies are cheap, tweeking u guys is fun.

    Btw, thats perfectly legit. Confiscating a camera that may hold evidence, that is. Bet they laughed about it for weeks.

  • Female cop has good ass but cannot see tits.

    Male cope is an idiot.

  • so it took you a year to get the guts to post this? march 15, 2008 to march 1, 2009? pussy.

  • Evidence??? MORE LIKE "LARCENY".

    It appears the crime already occurred. The filming of the arrest of the suspect is NOT evidence that a trial court could use. It appears there was larceny here (depending on if he intended not to give it back). The trespassory taking and carrying away of person property of another with specific intent to deprive the owner.

  • APOLOGY MY ASS.

    What is wrong with you people. Stop being so nice. SUE THE POLICE already.

  • evidence of some Cops Dog fucking it and having a social on the taxpayers dime..

    Whats funny is the personality type that reacted,

    I thought Clint Eastwood only directs now ?

  • protect yourself. Install security cameras in your home to find out who is entering when you are gone

  • watch cops, or dea or any kind of show about police, or any youtube video watch is and let me know, when they are enroute to a scene, do they say I just really want to get there and help people, or do they say...."I do it for the rush" these people show up to the scene looking for people to arrest NOT help....beware of the badge it has been corrupted, and there is NOTHING you can do about it. Stay indoors, arm yourself, they are looking for a reason to arrest you every minute of the day.

  • 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.

  • Perfect example of cops not giving a shit about rich people breaking the law: Cheney and Bush are still free men. They have openly boasted on TV about ordering marines to physically torture P.O.W's. Why the fuck are they still free men?

  • Evidence is not secured in that manner. There are forms and methods for securing evidence from private parties and the media. Ever see cops round up the general public whom happen to be standing around watching a crime scene and take them in as "evidence" ?

    When law enforcement is scared of being filmed in public as public SERVENTS then they in fact must be commiting crimes. There is NO other explanation.

  • I think the cop should have beat your ass.

  • Take your camera up in the city council meetings, that's where the real crimes are happening.

  • @PalabrasNoPistolas lol good point

  • I don't see how that tape could have been considered "evidence"; clearly you were there after whatever had went down at that house. That officer was way out of line.

  • I think people taping police just need to be aware that this can happen.

  • I think the Authorities should be aware that when they do this, they violate the 1st amendment and are subject to charges of theft.

  • Sorry the 1st ammendment is first and foremost what should have been observed. The offending police officer should have been suspended.

  • Please say that cop has lost his job.

    or some one has killed him for being a devil cop

  • His name is Detective Mineni and he supposedly was released.

  • POST

    THE

    PUNK'S

    FUCKING

    NAME!!!

    (he needs to be "relieved of duty")

  • Why didn't you file a charge against the officer for theft?

  • yes, he should have been charged for something. Or at least lost his job.. what a dumb punk

  • Shouldn't that cop be charged with stealing private property? I mean, when you take something that doesn't belong to you it's robbery, right?

  • yes he did violate his rights.. Dumb shit

  • He broke the Fourth Amendment of the Constitution. Our Fourth Amendment states.

    The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

  • It makes me sad that the police are becoming the criminals.

  • Cops have always been criminals.

  • Ya I know I am a romantic, and want to believe that most cops are good people. But if the bad ones go on getting away with it, they will force the good ones out.

  • Oh and one more thing to whoever said no sheriff would ever send an apology letter.. Think about what your saying.. This sheriff has a brain less developed than a 5 year old child.. He's an idiot!! and he would do the unthinkable.. Wait........... he already has..

  • Please don't disgrace a 5 year old child's brain with a comparison to a brain dead cop.

  • What an idiot!! Why would he take his camera.. Oh my gosh.... This is fricken Great.. I would have raised hell..

    Evidence... uhh... really?? Is that the best he could come up with....

  • These assholes are paid to protect us not violate us!! Keep filming these crooked cops your doing a great job!!

  • @judasplow25 fucken cunt! when ur mom gets shot i hope they take there sweet time to get their. you will need them at one point in your life!

  • Does this asshole know this ended up on youtube? How do I join your organization?

  • Cops should know what the laws are

  • Hahahahaha,, These Stanislaus County Sheriff Deputies need a new leader. They need a new Sheriff. This current/new sheriff does not know what the hell he is doing. They need training baaadddllyyyy.

  • I want to get involved and open a chapter in Ceres. I have a personal vendetta with that department imparticular. Does MCW have meetings? I need to be a little more educated as to how to handle situations with hot headed cops without "incriminating" myself. Believe me, Ceres is full of hot headed badge waivers.

  • Tell me a place and time so we could discuss copwatching.

  • If I wanted to waste more time on you I'd post the Sheriff's letter, but then you'd just say it was fake. I really have no interest in proving things to idiots. I could just as easily say "THEPHILLYPETE HAS NO PROOF HE HAS A SCROTUM" and let you prove me wrong. As far as being "a thug" I'm actually a college graduate and an educator. Speaking of education, your sentence should be "the alleged letter is fiction" or "is a fictitious one" not "is a fiction." Keep trying though Lil' Peter!

  • @RHHRorg Good job I really appreciate the work you do it's our tax dollars that pays for everything they do so we should have the right to record them.

  • @RHHRorg you are a lier.

  • @RHHRorg it is fucken fake you fuck shit!

  • Haha! The officer learned something new about the law he's paid to uphold! :D

  • u got pwned son! lol fuckin pigs

  • Btw baldy, in the Free State we wear the same gun gear out in public. Kinda embarassing when you meet up with us, huh piggie?

  • Hey baldy, we have your name and we have your addy.

  • pop pop somebody needs a cap in their ass

  • Fucking pigs.. That one looks familiar, too. Think I had a run in with him before. Too bad I can't remember when...
