Keep the pressure up.

Record them and make them famous on youtube.

Quote:

A Massachusetts man was driving in the town of Medford last Saturday night. He admits he took a wrong turn and ended up going the wrong way down a traffic circle.

However, how wrong a turn might his life have taken if the events that followed had taken a slightly different turn.

In dashcam video posted to YouTube by a driver who only gave his name as Michael, he is confronted by an angry man in a white tank top and shorts.

The angry man steps out of a truck and approaches him. Michael, seemingly -- and perhaps understandably -- frightened, reverses. The angry man follows him and Michael stops.

The angry man appears to show his badge and identifies himself as a police officer. Some, though, might be troubled by the officer's greeting: "I'll put a hole in your head."

Michael is apologetic and explains to the officer -- now identified as Det. Stephen LeBert -- that he is being recorded. LeBert suggests that he will seize the camera.

"I'm a f***ing Medford detective and you went through that f***ing rotary," says LeBert. As Michael insists he didn't see a sign, LeBert demands his license.

"You're lucky I'm a cop, otherwise I'd be beating the f***ing piss out of you right now," LeBert adds, shortly after calling the driver an a**hole.

And his cop buddies back him to the hilt.

They all think they are above the law and can act in any manner that they choose with impunity.

That's just it, because of the attitude of so many Americans.......they can.

You see, we are all supposed to give thanks to the Lord our God that he sent these brave heroes to circumvent due process and the Constitution in the name of protecting us from ourselves.

Heil Ronnie!

A Florida man who was arrested last year for video recording Orlando police making an arrest received a $15,000 settlement this month.

His lawyers, however, might end up making three times that much for working his case.

And the cop who arrested him, seizing his phone as “evidence” as well as seizing another bystanders’s phone remains on the job as if nothing had happened.

The only difference is that Orlando police officer Peter Delio is now expected to follow a new departmental policy requiring officers to respect the rights of citizens to record them in public.

In other words, he is now mandated by the department to follow the law.

Face it, a cops worst enemy now is a law abiding citizen armed with a phone camera. Their own website too.
So much for your meh. Eventually cities will get tired of doling out the settlements.
