TMPD Officers scatter after being recorded by Journalist.

[@simonswanepoel414]

I watch alot of American 1st amendment audits, and I'm glad we have it now in South Africa. Keep it up.

[@mcg_rsa]

Thank you for the support and encouragement. The hope is that many South Africans will realize that we can still hold our public officials accountable through such activities

[@bonganinkosi4837]

No tickets are being issued to the drivers , they are busy making money for lunch

[@GK222_]

You feel unsafe, therefore you run towards the person who makes you feel unsafe...makes sense

[@mcg_rsa]

The real question is, what made them feel unsafe? As law enforcement officers, they should be accustomed to operating under observation in public spaces.

[@HelenLessle]

Yes - Christmas is around the corner - this happens every year - during the rest of the time you never see them

[@lawrencemlombile828]

They must be recorded

[@Ghoulza]

they have no right or reason to stop you recording, you are in public they are government employees doing their job in public you can record all you want

[@xrismarais3468]

Simply by running away when realising that they are on video shows that they are guilty of a misdemeanor. They have good jobs, are well paid, have a medical aid and a pension and they saccrafice all with CRIME. Is it in their nature or upbringing. NO.

[@mcg_rsa]

Our systems have been hijacked by thugs unfortunately and it requires all of us to work together to root them out and hold others accountable

[@RotTangWhip]

Good work

Why You could sleep 😞😴 in between 😂😂

[@cecilnyman608]

Not 1 of the officers did what they were taught during training. No systematic check around the vehicle by walking around the vehicle. They didn't check hooter, tyres, lights, parking brake nothing and they are trained to help the driver back on the road safely which they didn't do. They are disgraceful

[@mcg_rsa]

Thank you for that insight. I was not aware that they even needed to perform such a check. They were clearly only looking for 1 thing.

[@Palmstreet-u7x]

​@@mcg_rsa They must immediately ask for driver's licence they must first check ✔️✅ the licence disk 📀💿 on window See it corresponds to the date issued and expiry date of licence Then must check all for 4 tyre's Hooter Flickers brake light 🕯️🕯️🕯️ 😂😂😂😂😂😂 They only want a Coke Cola 🥤🥤 and KFC hamburger 🍔🍔🥞

[@HansRichter-lh9gt]

@cecilnyman608 Agree 100% X Training officer for 20 years

[@mcg_rsa]

What you guys are saying is actually true. I remember that traffic officers and police used to conduct such inspections years ago when I was still a child. Nowadays, there is very little inspection that goes on. They simply check the disk and ask for your license.

[@Palmstreet-u7x]

@mcg_rsa and if you have a fault on your car they ask you " sir how are we going to resolve this issue ' then they stand with fine book in their hands 😜😁 and wait for your answer ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@sizakelemahlakoe6758]

I just want to ask a question 😔, can i record in public hospital?

[@mcg_rsa]

To respond to this, we need to look at what the law says: Bill of Rights (Constitution) Section 16 allows us media and press freedoms as well as gathering and sharing of information and ideas. This means we generally have the freedom to video record but as per section. Section 36 emphasizes that not all rights are absolute and may be limited in specific circumstances, as long as the limitation is "reasonable and justifiable in an open and democratic society founded on human dignity, equality, and freedom." The POPI Act: This regulates the collection of personal information unless there are lawful grounds to justify the collection without consent. It also regulates what happens after collection of the data and information. Section 7 of Chapter 2 however, states that the Act does not apply to the processing of personal information for journalistic, literary, or artistic purposes, as long as the processing is of public interest and balances freedom of expression with privacy rights. National Health Act: Section 18 requires healthcare institutions and personnel to take reasonable precautions to shield patient data from unauthorized access or disclosure. This includes media and recordings used in medical settings. Through some further research it has been observed that the courts have usually recognized the significance of protecting patient privacy by prohibiting recording in healthcare settings. They underline that, while freedom of expression is a constitutional guarantee, it does not extend to actions that may infringe on the privacy and security of others in sensitive environments such as healthcare facilities. This issue may warrant deeper examination, as there could still be valid arguments for allowing recordings in cases involving significant public interest.

​@@mcg_rsasome hospitals refuse to be filmed inside of hospital Strictly speaking you not allowed to video 📷📸 inside a hospital due to some patients don't allow it

[@mcg_rsa]

@@Palmstreet-u7x I am still looking into the legislation regarding this but ultimately, we need to get to a point of transparency. If it requires that legislation is changed or enacted, we can and should push for it as citizenry

[@selfcare-plus]

You missed the point of the exervise. You did not focus on an incident, you did not zoom in to estabish wrong doing, you did not zoom in to identify alleged culprit etc. To much moving around of camera and little to no stability. Therefor, dashcams are best for this ops

[@mcg_rsa]

Thank you for that input. I do need to improve on my technique and equipment.

[@Palmstreet-u7x]

​@@mcg_rsalet people make donation to your channel 🎉🎉🎉

[@mcg_rsa]

I would greatly appreciate the donations in the fight for justice and upholding our constitutional rights. I would need to look into how that can be done by either establishing an NPO or partnering with an existing NPO that does similar.

[@nedor64]

There is no control over this metro "police" in SA that is why they do as they wish.

This may continue until citizens realize that the power lies with themselves to hold these officals accountable

Spietkops or speed cops.

[@phillipmiya3705]

Are we by law allowed to record such traffic stops

[@mcg_rsa]

Yes, we are legally permitted to film traffic stops, including interactions with police officers. Section 16(1) of the South African Constitution provides freedom of expression, including the right to receive and impart information. This means that citizens have the right to record public acts, including those of public officials such as the police. Furthermore, while the Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA) governs how personal information is gathered and processed, it does not prohibit the public from recording in public places, particularly if the recording is done in the public interest. Public officials, such as police officers, are expected to conduct their jobs in a transparent and accountable manner, particularly in public places. Recording these interactions is a permissible exercise of your constitutional rights as long as it does not interfere with the police's ability to do their duties and is done in a public place with no reasonable expectation of privacy.

[@Palmstreet-u7x]

Yes cool

[@HansRichter-lh9gt]

@phillipmiya3705 you may,in first world countries they record all their and your actions via dashcam and bodycams.They are working towards it to prevent low productivity, brutality and claims against officials. As expected a lot of resistance for various reasons

[@Palmstreet-u7x]

@HansRichter-lh9gt in South Africa bodycams will never work They will be stolen like the guns

[@mcg_rsa]

@@HansRichter-lh9gt And we need to also fight for that transparency in this country. We need the transparency in every aspect of government in fact

Lyttleton is TMPD. JMPD don't have jurisdiction there. Anyway they both have the same attitude. Spietkops.

What a rubbish comment!!! 😡 You know NOTHING if you think that your ilk are the only ones "suffering". Victim mentality. Grow up!!!!! Single mother of three working double shifts just for a roof and food!!!!! No free house, no grant, no baby money. You will suffer forever with your pointing finger and no clue. Wake up!!!!!

[@mcg_rsa]

As citizens, we have the right to record the actions of those whose salaries come from our taxes and rates. We shouldn’t face consequences for holding them accountable or attempting to do so.

[@Palmstreet-u7x]

[@pulengmakola6516]

Camera man is bored,our brothers n sisters are at work no one will fell good when stranger are recording them😢

[@mcg_rsa]

Our brothers and sisters in law enforcement are out there working for us, the taxpayers, and should be accustomed to public oversight since they are funded by our contributions. People shouldn’t feel uneasy about being recorded on video, as it's a common occurrence in public spaces. The only real difference here is that they see someone actively operating the camera, rather than it being fixed on a wall or pole.

[@gregwheatley1355]

Once an official takes an oath ... it's a life sentence of honesty honor and integrity You obviously have no idea how it works

[@Palmstreet-u7x]

​@@gregwheatley1355what oath 😁😅 does a traffic officer make To uphold the highest level of corrupt dishonest people yes 😂😂 Their only motto is to take a ✋✋👌 bribe

[@onkabetsoemontsitsi6550]

These aren't JMPD officers, lies 😅

[@mcg_rsa]

I have my doubts about whether they were genuine TMPD officers, as they were carrying backpacks and drove off in a greyish VW Vivo rather than an official TMPD vehicle.
