First, the cops film themselves for suspect AND police misconduct. Your filming is

Only for your agenda (that's been proven in other cb videos). I love how you whine about the jail conditions. It's not a resort you idiot, it supposed to be unpleasant. Dont commit crimes if you don't want to go to jail and spend your friends money bailing out. You bait cops and then cry wolf when they react, they're humans too, they have emotions.

@adiostraitorobama I appreciate the civil discussion, many people would have said "you're a %!*@%ing idiot" and left it at that. And, I hope you DO go into law enforcement, and maybe improve the status quo.

@adiostraitorobama I acknwoledge that you hate policing & sincerely respect your right to do it. My feelings - however contrary, do not make me so naive as to say every cop is good, but would not bait one to find out.

As for freedom, I was born on an AirForce base and lived abroad until I found my father dead for your "freedom". You have no idea.

Freedom and unaccountability are not the same.

@adiostraitorobama I believe certain things e.g. pot, prostitution & gambling, are moral choices and should NOT be governed. If they were legal police would have much more time to do 'real" things (& the jail pop. wouldn't be so much of a problem). I personaly do not agree with some of those choices, but right now it IS the law & if you are an inforcer of the law, looking the other way can spiral out of control with serious consequences & the more you do something, the easier it gets.

@adiostraitorobama You make it sound like they wait around all day, eager to use their guns.

I'm still waiting for some answers from these law abiding photographers... What's with the ammo? Why was your friend in jail? If you spend all your time filming, how do you support yourself? What happened that put so much hate in you that you feel like you need to do this? If someone robbed you at knife-point, who would you call? .... just wondering....

@adiostraitorobama It's not the monitoring I find so objectionable, it's the one-sided preconceived need to provoke a wrong-doing. Where is the whole picture? If you are going to follow them around all day, will all the fotage be there? Or just the juicy bad stuff?
