ShootBack: National Park Service

Two employees of the National Park Service parked in a handicapped zone. Is that behavior acceptable for government employees? The crasher who confronts them doesn't think so.

[bureaucrash]

travisbickkle, thanks for your comment, but the point of this, and other instances where crashers catch agents of the state breaking the law (no matter how trivial) is to deter them from engaging in more-serious actions (i.e. brutality, genocide). if they think they can get away with some actions, they'll keep pushing the limits. it's a slippery slope. we freedom fighters have to stand our ground.

this is all you have to do with your time? if so you should apply for a government job!LOL

I think its good that the government is reminded of their duties and such. However, it is quite rude, to approach a public servant and confront her as such. I mean she realized her mistake and was leaving. Its not like shes some high and mighty cop. Just some public servant that makes probably less than you or I. You should go after some big fish.

I am curious, they call you guys libertarians right?

govt hires bunches of shallow tenderfeet so they can cuntrol the sheep. they don't even know their way around. hire locals? that would make too much sense

How many times does she need to apologize, and admit that she made a mistake before you give it a rest??? She said she was wrong, she apologized at least three times, and YOU KEPT HER FROM GETTING OUT OF THE PARKING SPACE with your incessant badgering! You made your point; She admitted her mistake. What if a disabled person had wanted to park in that space while you were yammering on???

I still don't see the point of this. Government breaks it's own laws everyday. Everybody knows this and government employees know it to. The constitution was supposed to be the supreme law, rules for the government to follow. Look what happened to that. Why waste you time videoing this? I just feel a "copwatch" is more effective because it might stop a brutality incident if they knew they were being recorded. But hey more power to you. Just hope it didn't take long to film etc.

Excellent!!!! Thanks. Keep up the GOOD work. Here in Philly, the police park not only in handicap spots, but on the sidewalk, in front of fire hydrants, in lanes of traffic, blocking driveways, etc... wherever the F--- they want. And if you argue with them -- or God forbid take their photo; you risk getting shot.

There are the various elite classes in our society and there are the peasants. Most of us are peasants. If the peasants ever realize this broadly, there will be an uprising. Good video.

You should've asked her, "Do you think I would get away from the cops with that excuse?"
