The guy doing the filming of these peace officers is a santimonious prick. :grrrr:

[AnnEsthesia]

lol... gotta give it to the guy, he stood his ground.

Awsome, stupid pigs need to be stood up to. If there's one thing I've learned in my dealings with the cops, is that they're all assholes.

But a prick who didn't break any laws. He was in his own garden and the cops tried to start something they couldn't finish. Right on. We need more people like this.

Why? Because he was on his property filming within his rights and wouldn't bow down to ego maniacs?

Well, apparently, some here feel that anyone in authority (unless it is a democrat) should be treated with the utmost respect, lol.

Police officers should be treated with respect, but respect is a two way street. Those officers immediately didn't show that guy any respect, so I don't blame him for not showing them any.

I don't think anyone of us know the whole story. This looks just like the partial story their has to be a reason why the cops stopped the guy with the bike.

[AnnEsthesia]

It has nothing to do with the bike and all to do with them telling him he cannot film police officers.

And El, I always treat police with respect, but then again, they have always been respectful to me. However, if they were trying to intimidate me and tell me something I was doing was illegal when it was not, I would not be baking them cookies. ;)

Did you even watch the video? It has nothing to do with the guy on the bike.

In the state of Washington, he would have been arrested for refusing to tell the cops who he was, and/ or for not having photo ID. If he had argued with the cops he would have been pushed to the ground, and anything that could be regarded as resistance would have resulted in a beating and tasering. He would have then been charged with 10 felonies and sent to prison for five years. He should be glad he lived in another country. The US has become a police state.

[moses2792796]

^^God I hate cops.

In your very extremist view. I don't believe that it has.

What bothered me about this is that the officers tried to claim that the guy was breaking the law by filming them and demanded he hand over his camera. A position which they were forced to retreat from very quickly once the officers checked in with their chain of command by radio.[hr]

heyjude, this might be your opinion, but the US certainly is NO police state.

Yeah that's what I saw as well. These guys were just ego maniacs. They just didn't like the guy videotaping them and went over to try and use their positions of power to get him to stop.[hr]

He is correct about the no ID no name thing. They can hold you for verification, but usually that doesn't happen and when it does it is usually because they are looking for someone specific.

You're right about that. Our founding fathers left England to form a free country, and now it looks like England might have the upper hand on freedom. The English coppers walked away (without an apology for harrassing and lying to him about the law, but they walked away). US cops would have tackled and tased him for not giving his name. Because you KNOW this guy would have resisted...

[jafar00]

I really don't mind giving police my details. I just laugh and tell them I hope they enjoy the extra paperwork. :D

Kudos to the cameraman for standing his ground. And I don't see any severe disrespect in this video. No cursing or calling names...simply unintelligent cops. They might just be looking for terrorist problems...UK certainly has more problems than the USA and I am sure the cops are looking out daily for signs of it.

[ViolaLee]

Yeah because a video camera looks really like a bomb.

Terrorists often scout out an area FIRST. They might videotape things...they also might purposely tape police to see who they are and how they behave. I am not saying the cameraman was wrong. I am being a devil's advocate about the motives for the police to bother the guy.

They obviously had something in mind when they approached. They could be new police and they certainly did contact their seargent to verify the law which they should at least deserve some respect for.

You better not be claiming that I feel authority and or all republicans deserve disrespect, because that is a claim you will need to back up beyond just your opinion.

Oh it's just hyperbole Ann....
