Last time the cops “lost a camera” in an arrest like this one, another person stepped forward with another video taken of the same incident that showed the cops lied... court ended up tossing the charges, but of course nothing happened to the cops.
I bet you if the video showed what the cops said happened the camera would still be around...
Alex, I’ll take absolute corruption and evidence tampering./s;)
Does anyone think otherwise?
Kurtz was already out on bail in connection with an arrest in November. Police charged Kurtz on Nov. 9 with disorderly conduct after they said he simulated sexual acts on an Orlando police car on Church Street.
All Righty Then.
LOL what a idiot.
The new Charger Hemi squad cars are hot, but not that hot.
it’s becoming so damn predictable.
Double videoing is always smart, the first camera in plain view and recording locally, the second camera hidden and transmitting to redundant, encrypted, hidden storage (even out of country if possible). If something hokey happens to camera 1, then camera 2 can be revealed.
Every citizen who leaves his house is vulnerable to a “disorderly conduct” conviction.
It’s the equivalent of
Sir, did you know you have a tail light out? [SMASH!]
but they make big money and have big benefits and are going to get big pensions...
we can not expect them to protect citizens if dictatorship arrives/continues...
that is why talk of more military pay and benefits and pensions is insane....we don't need a mercenary military like we have a mercenary police corp.
IF the police weren’t breaking the law, they wouldn’t have a problem with being video taped. The fact that police in general have a problem with being taped in public tells me that there is a problem.
I saw somewhere where there’s an app that uploads video to a website from your smartphone as you’re taking it.
Anyone thinking of recording cops needs this service/app.
I saw a demo on John Stossel’s show of a camera tied to a website where the video is automatically fed to the website. They take your phone, the video’s still recorded and even uploaded to your blog.
Orlando may be the only sizable city in the country with the County Sheriff and the ORL Police Chief married to each other. The Demmings. Actually, she just resigned after a mere 2 years—to take time to determine how she will “continue to serve the community.”
Police say they ordered him to back off, but Kurtz ignored that command, shoving the officer in the chest instead.
AFAIK, videotaping is a non-contact sport. Shoving the cop is what might get the dude 6 years behind bars, not the videotaping.
That's the point that far too many Freepers go sailing right past as they wade into these discussions in total defense of the US Gestapo... too many times these videos show the exact opposite of what the cops claim happened and end up with the charges dropped and the cops under investigation...
