    bobbo- yes libertarians, anarchists, freedom lovers tend to be a disagreeable lot because we aren’t mindless sheep who look around searching for leaders to tell us what to do and when to do it. Instead of being collectivists trying to look for ways to agree, we tend to prefer to put aside our agreements as common sense and focus on our disagreements, in an unending search for the truth.

    So, with the cop pulling you over, it’s up to that individual cop’s discretion on what is reasonable suspicion, right? One cop may feel reasonable suspicion is someone driving quickly and swerving from lane to lane. Another one might think it’s a black person driving a nice car. In either case, you’re required to stop, hand over your PAPERS, and comply with his demands. Is that reasonable to you?

    Well, with the filming of people on public property, the problem is public property. Public property is property owned by the public, this unclear definition of ownership which is slippery to pin down. Since I partly own this property, because my taxes go to pay for it, don’t I get to do what I want on it? Since you also own it, don’t you get to do what you want on it? Many complications arise because we are FORCED by the government to pay for it. Unlike a private park, eg Disneyland, where the owners make the rules, and you pay when and if you decide to go there, and once you enter you’ve agreed to follow the rules the owner sets. If the owner says you must allow yourself to be filmed, then you either comply, or find a competing park with rules according to your liking. No force involved.

    “Why do you hate freedom so much? Are you a member of the Taliban?”

    Do you think as a member of the Taliban that I would have access to the internet and have the ability to post a comment on this?

    Your as bad as the guys in the video with a remark like that, and no, I’m not a communist either.

    How would you feel if you were snowed under in work and people started sticking a camera in your face.

    As #33 point “out These guys aren’t about liberty, they’re about celebrity. “I don’t want to file a complaint, I want to post on YouTube.” Now THAT is dedication to the cause of freedom.”

    If you ever have to go before a judge, traffic ticket, etc… Try using the “well, you see, I was having a bad day” argument. That would be fun to watch.

    Camera dude as argumentative and was being a dick. That’s not illegal but it is a unwise.

    Cop harassed a citizen doing nothing wrong. Sorry cop, you just went over the line. He should be written up for that but I doubt that will happen unless the guy has a history of over reacting and harassing and maybe not even then. And we see here that many, many cops don’t understand the law and that when a citizen does, it ruffles some cops feathers.

    When the copy sorta apologized kinda, it really was a good thing for him to do even though he was wrong about a number of things. Cops don’t have an easy job but they must be held to a higher standard and right now they aren’t. I just wish the camera guys wasn’t so argumentative. He exacerbated the situation but really did nothing wrong and should have been left along by the cop.

    Everyone should go the ACLU and download a copy of their right when facing a cop. It’s a handy document to carry, even in a world where Maranda isn’t the law of the land like it should be.
