@ cops dress like they are going to war no matter where they go…I attend a local police citizen academy at the community center. Part of the rules to attend was no weapons, even thought there is no law against an open carry or concealed carry in the community center. There were 4 cops at the training, all were decked out in full gear, bulletproof vest, guns, taser, pepper spray, extra mags…the works. If cop’s really want to show respect and trust with the community they should have left all that in the car. But no, to the cop that gear is their sign of authority more then their badge.

[@dandylion9998]

This happened in another area. The guy was on the sidewalk with sign I think (something Christianly written on the sign I believe). He wasn’t harassing anyone or asking for anything (money, etc.). The business called the police. They argued with the guy and I believe arrested him (later released). He technically never was on the business “property” and wasn’t doing anything unlawful. He knew his rights. The cops didn’t. I might have some details wrong. But overall the sidewalk where the guy stood didn’t belong to the business so they had no say.

If the cops would simply perform their jobs in accordance with the oaths they took, they should be telling any concerned parent to mind their own business and permit the stranger to film their children, because any time you are in public, you have zero expectation to not feel uncomfortable due to the actions of a strange man filming your children.

He obviously was not, in the end, trespassed, but the bar is still potentially liable (along with the city) for his illegal detention, and his failure to communicate that to her could exacerbate the damage that he caused by his completely willful misconduct here.

"Idiocracy was a documentary" - so true! If you have not seen the movie, check it out!

[@chaschuky999]

To be fair, they’re two very different types of recording. Security cameras and body cams are ostensibly for your protection and safety, and typically have restrictions on who can access the footage. Some guy on the sidewalk setting up a phone on a tripod and gimbal and pointing it at you is a complete unknown, and is quite unusual. Even if something is legal, that doesn’t mean it’s a good thing to do.

@@chaschuky999 That strictly depends who’s watching & what they’re doing with the footage. Blind trust that they’ll do the right thing isn’t smart.

[@Tarvo27]

@@chaschuky999 While you are correct, that those two are two different types of recording and I do agree, I do think that even if you think it's unusual to set up a tripod on a sidewalk and record the public, it's perfectly fine if it's not against the law. Doesn't matter how weird that is to you.

[@chaschuky999]

@@VantaBlackhole In that case, doesn’t it make total sense for the restaurant to call the cops on the auditor? They were not willing to have blind trust he was doing “an investigation”. They either have to blindly trust he is not being nefarious or do as they did calling proper authorities to investigate.

Not sure what constitutes probable cause in that case. It did look a lot like booze, and drinking in public is unlawful across most states.

I seen that . If he would have complained, he'd be arrested for interference of an investigation . Cop sux !

They (police) have really perfected the art of the blurred line of not knowing laws are and not caring what the law is.

[@jack002tuber]

Because there are no repercussions of their actions. They are never held responsible for what they do

[@Kittycatmiaowmiaow]

We are all being constantly recorded, in public, 24 hours a day via CCTV and inside business premises. So what’s the difference? You’d think basic human rights like this would be an essential part of police training?!

[@Lafue108]

It's different when someone records you to be put on a monetized channel for their profit.
