Shakedown Street

You tell me this town ain't got no heart. well, well, well, you can never tell.

I'm not a cop but if I was the last thing I'd want when making an arrest is some idiot taking pictures up close....

 
 
like the arrest of Tony DeNunzio when a bunch of yahoo bystanders stood around and complained about police brutality as they interfered with the cops doing their job..now it's true that Tony got a big settlement thanks to the wimpy city council and city atty Mr. Limpit, but that's beside the point...
when the new city council is voted in, they should fire Mr. Limpit...

interfering with a cop making an arrest should be illegal as it puts the cop's life in danger..they gotta deal with the arrest and the folks who are butting in which takes focus off the arrestee...very dangerous

cops arrest people for probable cause a crime has been committed..if they are wrong, hash it out in court, not on the sidewalk...

and of course, suing the cops is a profitable cottage industry because they are out in the public making sure the rules/laws are followed..this upsets people who can't follow rules...and as we all know, the secret to happiness in life is following the rules

so I read where some jerkoff interfered with cops making an arrest, got too close taking pictures and one cop supposedly hit the jerkoff's cell phone..now the jerkoff is telling the whole world his little plight and will sue the city for a big pay day...

take pictures all you want but don't get in the way of the cops doing their job..that should be a city ordinance or a law...it's common sense...the cops should arrest people who interfere

probably the jerkoff with the cell phone will get a jerkoff lawyer like Barry Capello and the taxpayers will be on the hook again...

ie, you'll all get jerked off again

ok... I watched the video and the guy is holding the cell phone above his head right pointing it at the cops.. and it's dark out..and the cops were answering a bar fight call...for all the cops knew, the jerkoff might have had a gun in his hand! he's lucky he didn't get shot

Technically, audio recording anyone without their consent in California is a felony, 632 PC. Because most cameras include audio a crime is committed when recording without turning the audio off. If the cops arrested people for this I suspect it would stop in short order.

Another option for the cops is to seize the recording equipment and book it as evidence. How many people want to loose their cell phones for half a year or more while a criminal case is adjudicated plus become a witness in court?

Obstructing a peace officer (148 PC and/or 2800 CVC) can be challenging in court if the DA even files. Not all judges see "obstructing" in the same way. For some, it is just part of a cops job to have to deal with such activities.

None the less, everyone (including cops and fire fighters) need to wake up and realize that there are cameras recording what they see everywhere and one should act accordingly.

Yeah people have problems and so do cops. The problems is cops are abusive and this cop you referrence needs to reprimanded and possibly terminated.

The officer who arrested Tony has a history and the history with Tony has not been explored. It is extremely unlikely that officer Tudor would pursue Tony for lack of a front licesnse plate while lying in wait, out of his jurisdiction, out of his car and running out from the bushes in the pitch of night.

You and I don't want Tonys dui on the road. But you don't want abusive cops out there either. Or do you. And they are out there and they don't mind a camera on themselves when its a favorable and edited TV show.
