Invasion of privacy because the state-mandated recordings were distributed after this young man had them provided by the state. I think maybe you take that up with the state? No, wait, you sue the kid you falsely arrested.

I saw this video on YouTube a while back. He was dead fucking sober. There was absolutely no reason for suspicion. Fuck these cops.

I thought we had already established the public has the right to film on duty police, no exceptions.

He didn’t even film them. They filmed themselves with body cameras and he used a FOIA request to get them.

He did do some filming on his phone, but he even asked the officer before he did it and the officer said yes he can.

Police complain about invasion of privacy? That’s rich.

I’m curious to hear why the police think public officials doing their public duty in public think they have an expectation of privacy in that context.

Woah woah woah. You sound like a threat. Do they need to harass and/or sue you as well?

Did the teenager say mean things about you?

Yeah, it was great. When the kid proved he was sober he requested to speak to the arresting cop and called him out on it to his face while the cop gave some stupid excuses and and got away from the kid as fast as he could.
