great vid, but i was getting a ticket in nyc and the cop told me to turn off my cam its illegal to film police ...i been meaning to check into that, she was polite and not rude so i believed her...anyway great vids.

yeah it's not illegal to film police. there's no law that makes it a crime to film them, except when they are undercover i which case we wouldn't know who they were anyways.

There is strength in numbers. Always try to have a strong presence and avoid doing this alone. Most cops will pressure and intimidate loners. It seems it helps if you have your granny tag-along too. Keep your distance and keep your yap shut; remember, you're an observer, NOT a participant. Shooting your mouth off makes trouble for you and the rest of us.

Pigs always require info but they ape shit when you have info on them

@djfassler I would agree in some jurisdictions that money plays a significant role in how enforcement goes. I personally don't like that, its less about safety and more about financing! Losing sight of whats enforcing rules in society is all about. What that is, is the executives "Higher ups" forcing the lower, motivated crime fighters into a meter maid role instead of seeking out criminals instead. Cops of today are no more liked then the hall monitors of yesterday, its a thankless job!!!!

[deputycorndog]

@djfassler Well sure, selectively could also be seen as Discretionary! Most crimes are misdemeanors, so therefore most misdemeanors are enforceable through various means, to include warnings and no action as well! Question for you, what do you mean by "Most problems we have are direct result of how police go about enforcing our laws"? Curious as to all society problems vs problems with laws in general?

[djfassler]

@deputycorndog Yeah, priorities are way out of whack, I agree. I also think that most of the problems we have are a direct result of how the police go about enforcing our laws. . . selectively and what rolls in the bank for them.

if i was that ignorant woman, i would be glad the police shot that guy in the parking lot before he shot her kids or someone else.

@SporkFire when did i say judging? all i was saying is you can listen to everything you hear or see or you can check it out for yourself

[SporkFire]

@ciaoKitty13

Judging?  You do know that the Denver police have one of the highest misconduct rates in the country?

[ChicagoCorruptCops]

those clowns think their god in chicago they got 15 years gang bangers kids blasting their brains out ha ha ha

These people are putting themselves and others in harms way. Why don't you copwatchers read about the day without police in canada. I understand your idea but I think you are just plain getting in the way and cause more harm than good. You want to change things then work and vote or leave the country.
