Apologies if this has been discussed but it's the first time I've seen it. The video is two years old, but still raises some questions...especially at the end.
To the dismay of the person in the car, those officers were polite and professional. I hope that the video is representative of most of BPD.Quote:
I never said this video is a representation of the Bryan Police Department.
I think that it could be used as a training tool.Quote:
I think the person in the car was purposely trying to bate the police into some civil liberties showdown. Does that not mean this video couldn't (or shouldn't) be used as a possible training tool to make Bryan PD an even better police force?

It's a worse look.
This is why. /eyeroll. Whats wrong with knowing your rights and abiding by the law? Police go fishing all the time. It will only be used against you.Aggie said:
I don't know why but all these people that record traffic stops annoy the hell outta me.
You see thousands of videos on YouTube with people bragging about how they owned a " clueless cop" ..
yeah you may have the right and know your rights.. but if you're not in the wrong why not just cooperate 100% and make the officers job a little easier and smoother and move on.
Instead you see ass hats
" oh I'm not identifying myself.. I have committed no crime.. I don't have to give you my ID"
Dumbass world we live in today
Even if that were true, it is a constitutionally protected act, safeguarded by the 1st amendment.TChaney said:
The only thing I found odd was this quote from the officer at the 4:30 mark
"We have had, in Bryan people videotape officers before (for) for wrong reasons in order to try to do them harm"
I'm really curious now what those incidents were. Anyone have any insight?
Point being, whether the point of filming was to cause them harm or not, it is a protected act.cslifer said:
Nobody is saying it isn't constitutionally protected. So is filming kids playing outside a daycare, both may lead to the cops asking you questions, don't forget that they have the same rights as you when it comes to speech.
