(866 posts)The Third officer is the one who arrested him and he was acting like a ass. If he had acted a little bit better You know not calling them stupid morons etc the third one would have not been called. He looks like he was in the military

(866 posts)I cant even imagine any cop in Florida putting up with that verbal abuse and disrespect. He really tried for some reason to escalate this situation and he did. I do not agree at all with the Third officers conduct at all.

(12,260 posts)There are numerous 1st Amendment auditors out there are that AA, Hispanic, etc and they're all still alive and still filming the police.
It matters not that the auditor was being rude, he didn't break any laws, photography is not a crime and the police are supposed to be the professional ones and not take the bait, as this POS sgt. did.
Now the county is going to pay a hefty judgement because these asshole deputies couldn't let their egos go and had to retaliate.

Or better yet, look up Turner V Driver which established the right to film govt. officials in public, Turner was AA.

(7,638 posts)Is that in the constitution? You can't be an asshole. Which amendment is that one?

(26,315 posts)Nothing about the assault by the cop or the phony charges or the tampering with evidence (probably a felony)?

(512 posts)On more than one occasion. I told him as a young black man that any interaction he has with the police he better pull that phone out and record. Always film the police if you are stopped. They will say to my son dont worry Im filming also, but he replies back that he doesnt press mute when his rights are about to be violated.
