Driving into a local shoping center one day, I turned the corner just in time to see a uniformed cop push down what looked like a young teenaged kid to the ground; so I got out my digital camera and started filming. Several detectives were milling around the scene and eventually saw me filming; one of them then came over to my car and suggested I get out and come closer. Sensing some sort of setup, (it's certainly not normal procedure for cops to invite strangers into interigation of suspects) I refused, and he remarked how my "car windows are so filthy I don't think you can see out". Sensing an unstable KOOK, I asked the kook cop his name and he refused to tell me, which is illegal. He then asked me my name, and I replied "none of your business". He then walked around to the front of my car, marked down my license plate and went back to his cop friends. I filed an official complaint which spawned an internal affairs investigation of both the kook cop and the other uniformed officer who pushed the person down. both of them coincidentally(?) had shaved heads. Click the links below to see the 5 part video of my interview with internal affairs regarding this incident and complaint.

----------------

when I went into the police dept for the internal affairs investigative interview, i asked if it were being recorded and they said yes, audio and video. Since this was a mutually agreed upon interview i videotaped it myself also. (The principle being, why would anyone ever assume that one party, the state, can film but another can't?) here is that vid, which took place at West Covina, CA P.D. on September 15 2008.

  • stfu, its a buncha crooked cops and if one came and did something unlawfully to you, you'd wish someone got it on camera PUNK

  • barny, I drive through dozens of video surveilenced intersections that the only purpose is to fine people every day when I go to work. I have no sympathy for cops that are camera shy. Video footage doesn't lie, the police do.

  • @fmnma1 Hey, I'm with you, dude. I can jut appreciate the guy not including audio, just to be on the safe side. This is an awesome clip, though, one of the best on YT.

  • @COINTELPRO101

    The only time it is 'illegal' in some states, is when you are 'secretly' filming police. Otherwise the "you are being audio and video recorded' regardless of consent from a police officer, is completely legal when filming in public, and in public, you do not even have to let them know they are being audio/video recorded. When there is no expectations to privacy, all bets are off!

  • @COINTELPRO101

    That's not the point.. The point is, it's completely legal to do so (when audio/video) a public official, such as a member of law-enforcement, as clearly stated in the Constitution.

  • @fmnma1 In two-party states it is best to no include audio to avoid any accusation of "illegal wiretapping".

  • Tell ya what, Last night 4 cops came to look for a wanted person related who gave my address.

    When I had to let them in to search there was a camera man, I asked them to turn the camera off or leave. The main cop said NO! It's for our protection. I demanded after seeing theirs on YT. He wouldn't comply. SO..

    I went & got mine & filmed them all, He was speechless and never told me I couldn't. Because I replied to him!

    This is for our protection as well. He said no problem that was fine.

  • Where's the audio?

  • god job man! fighting police state new world order!

  • The reason the police don't want people videotaping them is because they don't want their crimes to be made public.

  • ARE YOU SURE THE GUY DOING THE INTERVIEW ISN'T THE SAME GUY THAT APPROACHED YOU!?!?

  • @sleepyriggles of course video's lie if you dont get them from the start or if there is no sound you must not know what a lie means
