[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 324568, member: 9240"] Here's the thing about this video. Yes, the guy had his sh*t together. Yes, he knows his rights. Yes, the cops go too far too fast. But what I hate about stuff like this is the guy with the camera was looking for this fight just so he could put the video up. Pick the video up here at 9:18... [MEDIA=youtube]dQ5QuOCFJJ4:558[/MEDIA] He's been following these guys around all night hoping for just this kind of confrontation. He doesn't tell you that up front, so by the time you get there you're mad as hell at these cops. I believe they had every right to approach him for his name, and they had every right to approach him afterward to figure out what the hell he was doing recording every stop the cops were making that night. The cops could have gone about it better, starting with the question regarding multiple stops instead of grabbing at the camera, but that's just my opinion and don't deal with idiots and malcontents all day. I'm not defending the cops' actions, but neither do I defend this guy's tactics for getting this on camera. There are asshats on both sides of the camera here. [/QUOTE]
