then he should have had his badge out WITH his gun and identified himself as an officer.
he should have assumed that the camera ON TOP of the guys helmet, in plain fucking site was on.
he fucked up.
he knows he fucked up
his department knows he fucked up.
they are just trying to make this guy out to be the one that fucked up.
so according to this law, security cameras need to shut off when an officer is in range.
banks need to shut off their cameras when an officer walks in.
and yes, they are different situations, but the law is the law. and if they can take it to this extreme, then it should be taken to that extreme too.
he KNEW there was a camera there, he can see it, its plain as fucking day.
in his mind he KNEW it was on. if not, then he's truly fucking stupid and has no goddamn right to have a badge.
if it were me on the bike, im sure as fuck not going to be reaching up to turn off a camera when a guy is coming at me with a gun. and no proper identification.
this should be taken all the way up to the supreme court.
the police work for US. its not the other way around. they are a government run entity, they work for us. we should be able to video tape them, its our responsibility to keep them in check just as much as its their responsibility to keep us in check.
if they have the right to tape us with their fucking dash cams, then by god we should have to right to whip out our cell phones, video cameras, and whatever the fuck else, and tape them.
that way, it cuts out a lot of the "he said she said" bullshit.
