The police department in Morrow Ga. where I live are continually winning awards for their professionalism.
Most of them have college degrees and they know the constitution.
They are a great bunch.

Sadly it's not the same everywhere, with Alabama being the worst when it comes to the constitution.
Where California in most areas are among the best.
Texas has a few bad areas and Colorado has a bunch of bad cities and Albuquerque NM is very bad.

There are hundreds of thousands of videos out there from private citizens.

Here at Graybeard we are constantly highlighting the criminal activities of elected officials and predicting what will come if we don't clean house.
Well, some house cleaning needs to be done at the local level too.

You DO NOT have to talk to the police.
You have THE RIGHT to REMAIN SILENT.
EVERYTHING you say CAN AND WILL be used against you in a court of law.

It does not matter that you are NOT GUILTY or not even UNDER ARREST.  They cannot STAND someone who refuses to OBEY them.

I will not throw ALL law enforcement under the proverbial bus for the actions of a few.  They may take me to jail after which the municipality will deal with my lawyer and me. 

A median 6- to 7-figure jerk-around penalty payment from the municipality to me, not including attorney fees to my kick-ass lawyer, should just about make me whole again and put a bite in the actions of a few overbearing law enforcement officials.  Bring it.  I know when to shut up. 

If they interpret my silence as "offensive", they can incarcerate me with trumped up charges.  The truth WILL come out in court.

I don't throw them ALL under the bus either.
I can post thousands of videos showing good interactions with cops.

But, there's too many cases where a potential GOOD cop will turn his head to the actions of a BAD cop.
And, I can't understand the thing about cameras.
I know of one photographer who carries 2 or 3 cameras and a .380 open on his hip, the cops will glance at the pistol but demand to know why he is taking pictures and lie and say that refusal to ID is against the law.
They legally tell lies to entrap you.  That needs to stop, our justice system needs to be based on truth.

The videographer seems like a dickhole, I am sorry but I have no sympathy for these ass wipes that interject themselves into a situation and get upset that they are told to go away.  The others were helping with no expectation of reward, so they were allowed to stay.

The SCOTUS says what he was doing is a 1st amendment protected activity.
Every police agency in the country got the notice in 2010 and again in 2018.
You obviously did not listen to the first part of the video, he could see that he wasn't needed because the people were just standing beside the wreck doing nothing.
If rights are not exercised we will lose them.
I personally like the idea of 1st and 2nd amendment audits of police agencies, some cops will come out and talk awhile and some will barge out yelling to stop recording and demanding ID.
The demanding type apparently have something to hide from the public.
Shouldn't we be trying to get rid of the Nazi types??   Show me your papers boy!!!!

Our interim chief here got his picture in the paper just last week, he assisted in the arrest of a drug dealer who had his wife and daughter in the car, she was sobbing so he got on his knees and hugged her and explained what happened and assured her that she'd see daddy tomorrow, and guess what, a passerby took the picture and posted it to facebook where it was picked up.    The chief was rightly recognized but wouldn't have been if a cop had not allowed the picture to be taken.

We should be demanding that our Constitutional rights be recognized, or we'll be a police state.

Doesn't change my opinion any, anymore people are more interested in videoing things than being a decent human and helping out.  While the second part may have been a bit much, the first part was warranted, he was on the accident scene and if he wasn't helping, he was in the way.  But I still see him as a dick hole, for the entire incident. 

Oh, and BTW, you are also on a fine line posting this type of stuff just to make the boys in blue look bad, which I 100% feel is your purpose for doing it.  While there are probably many many videos where LEOs are not acting right, there are probably thousands to one where they are acting right.  We get it, there are some bad cops out there, and I think most of us agree that they should be weeded out, but IMO getting on the forums and bad mouthing them as a whole serve no good purpose, and puts you in line with the rest of the "Defund the Police" crowd.

[BUGEYE]

You want to get along in this world?
Then best avoid the police and justice system all you can. You will be in a potentially explosive situation, outnumbered by armed and volatile enforcers from the State.  If you find yourself in such a situation and being accused of some violation, it's best to remain silent and summon an attorney.  Remember police and government enforcers are allowed to lie or threaten you in the course of an investigation.

Exactly.
Our friend O-mega above is not interested in weeding out the crab grass.
Most folks here yell about biden and pelosi and others up in D.C. and turn a blind eye to what's happening locally, and that is the citizens getting their rights violated.
In Pooler Ga., the entire force from the chief down are thugs, and apparently the city council is afraid of them.

I said earlier that I can post thousands of videos showing GOOD cops and agencies, but those are not a threat to law abiding citizens.
1st and 2nd auditors are out there weeding out the crab grass, and I'll help any way I can.

And it's not just cops, our county tax assessor socked it to the citizens this year and there's an uproar over it.

Here'a a sheriff deputy doing the right thing.
I'll post some good ones in the next few days.

Playing with your own dogs while black.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ow3fCNs69gA

  I looked at a couple videos here.  Some are legit, some are provocateurs.. IMO.
  Th above video as I see it, has nothing to do with black, but more to do with civility and cooperation.

  Now, perhaps I didn't hear the whole thing, since it seemed to be very poor audio.  Here's how I saw it, but of course I could  be wrong!

   The cop sees some guy who seems to be provoking some dogs behind a fence..so he is concerned that some guy may needlessly be creating some mean dogs .  I have seen that happen before..

  The cop stops to check.. So here, I consider what I would have done, were I the one messing around with the dogs.

  I would tell the officer.." Officer, these are my dogs, and this is my home".  That would likely end it, unless the office would like assurance that they are my dogs and that is my home..so I would show him some ID !

  Now I didn't hear the citizen explain that... but I did hear him demanding that the officer, "speak to him respectfully', while shouting to the officer....MF this and MF that !  So was he offering mutual respect?

   It reminds me of that case where Obama called the Cambridge, MA police officers "stupid". 
  This incident also featured a black man, a professor at Harvard who forgot his keys, and was entering his house through a window.
  To me, it would have been a natural reason for a cop to inquire, no matter the melanin content of anybody's skin.
  The professor could have easily explained the situation..and perhaps showed ID..and that would have ended it.
  ..But no, rather than explain..he decided to argue the race card..why?
 
   Then, when he realized his mistake, Obama did not apologize, but called to "have a beer' with the cops.

   Now, I don't drink alky and I have no desire to meet Obama, so I would have suggested that an apology would suffice..

  I don't know how the meeting turned out..but I still never heard any apology from Obama.

   The way things are going today, often the cops are being set upon by the jurisdiction that hired them,
   so it is getting harder and harder to hire willing officers.

    So in the future we will likely have either less officers, or else less qualified officers.

IG, I’m totally against showing ID just because a cop wants it.
And if one kept insisting or lied to me that I had to show it, I’d get loud too.

And if the democrats steal another election or two we’ll see the SCOTUS packed and we’ll be another East Germany.

And every place where cops are set upon is controlled by democrats.

Republicans generally back the police and in those places the police are more laid back and don’t abuse the citizens.
