The Supreme corrupt court is too busy to rule on issues of the here & now that affect the majority, like including "filming" in the 1st. They ate busy creating distractions & divisions out of issues that will only directly affect a very small % of us, like reversing "curds vs way, or curds vs ray, or roe vs ray. Or whatever . The .abortion thing! You know, the, the thing? Come on man? " - Barack Joe Bama
I love these types of videos. It makes me have faith that there are good officers doing their job. They deserve the same screen time and recognition! Usually we only see the bad.
You always say "be sure to check out the description below to give them the credit they deserve" on every single video, yet you never link their channels, ever. The only link ever there is your own for Patreon.
Those guys learned two things today: 1) they can’t tell someone they can’t film from public property 2) hold your phone horizontally for better images.
You can tell she was annoyed with the call, understandably so. But she handled it professionally and resolved concerns of both parties. Model behavior of a peace officer and any public servant.
As photographer, it's always bothered me people have the notion of always recording vertically. Doing so is hole in the head. The wrong perspective is just there before whoever is recording and yet they don't even see it.
Seemed like some petty jab because he was butthurt they were following and recording him. Weird how he has a problem with them using their rights to film and be on public property
I love cops who know the law. I was homeless for awhile and looked up "right to rest" laws so i could sleep in my car in a residential area if I was on the road. The cops got called on me, told me i could stay there and didn't have to go, they wished me a good night. Bless them
@@wessltov there have been w lot of aggressive anti homeless stuff being done and laws passed so it's actually not that surprising. i don't understand why people call the cops on people sleeping in their card though. like what danger does that pose to them?
@@kennethM For real? That's nauseating to think about! Having nothing should *not* be illegal, since that would essentially make it illegal to just _be_
@@Tar-Von Around 9:47 her expression changes from a neutral to a near-smile when he says "freaked out", it changes back when he says he doesn't mind them calling the police because no crime is being comitted @ 9:54. This implies that she knew she was wasting her time before she got there, thought he was on her side but recognised that he didn't mind wasting her time. She even drops eye contact and looks past him at 9:55, despite him giving her a lot of information. At 9:58, when he's calling the other guy and he's checking him out, you don't see her flinch or react to him raising his voice. In fact, she has no reactions or anything to say to him at all until she walks across the road to talk to the other guys. When he then tells her he wants to film her telling them, she sighs/laughs/exhales deeply at 10:32. It's not mind reading, it's just being human.
@@nivyan Really, Nivyan? Then you realize that everything you've shared is 99.9% subjective. You are not officer Parker and have no idea what she's thinking, feeling, and why. Being human? No -- Being presumptive.
@@Tar-Von Subjectivity is implied, my subjective experience tells me she was annoyed and I showed you when and where. All you're doing is saying you disagree while being an ass. I also never said it was for certain nor a science - that's you being presumptive. You've been presented with different people who disagree with you, one of which was willing to give you examples and you're still just being an ass.

I'm not going to respond to you again.
We,as citizens need to see more videos of cops acting professional and doing a better job of interacting with the public.This female officer did a mighty FINE job. I salute her.
This is the quietest I've ever seen a cop lol, really refreshing to see a cop show up to a scene of a call and not immediately start barking orders. She just listened and got a clear picture of what was going on before saying a word.
I just called their office to thank them. She's been promoted to corporal. I told them it was a great move. We need more like her. The woman I spoke to at the Sheriff's office was very kind. If you look at the original video, the contact info is all there. Make her famous in a good way for a change.
@@chrisj8696 See, this is why I have a problem with the whole ACAB thing. I have met some officers who were damn fine people and used their position as a cop to do as much good as they could. I even knew one who spent his own money to buy a building and turn it into a roller ring so the kids of the town had a place to hang out instead of getting in trouble out of boredom (it was a small town). Not all cops are bad.
@@chrisj8696 I think it goes both ways. Maybe if people would stop resisting arrest, carrying guns, doing actual illegal stuff then we prob would also see a change. Is it ok if i say that "All black people are gangbangers/criminals"? Ofcourse I know the majority are great people, but just a small % fucks it up for the rest. Same goes for cops and other "groups".
If any officers actually read the comments, please know 1 stone cold fact: For as angry as I get seeing the videos showing cops abusing their power, I get 10 times the emotion during the ones where the cops do their jobs. Their job isn't about their opinions, just ensuring laws are enforced and rights aren't violated.
Deputy Parker was AWESOME ! Good to know that there are still professional police officers out there who know the law and willing to do the right thing
Parker is so cool about it all. You can tell she isn’t impressed by the filmer’s runaway mouth, but she just lets him flap away and stays professional.
@@johnhiggs325 I don’t think she was annoyed. She looked pretty cool about it. I think that’s just your mind playing tricks on you by saying she was annoyed.🤣
@@saeedadam9593 I agree. She doesn't seem annoyed. To me, it seems more like one of those moments of "wow, alright, cool, he's hitting on all the points, I have nothing to add". I will acknowledge that our minds naturally twist narratives (whether spoken or unspoken) to fit the way we want to see it, and I want to see it as an encounter of positivity, so I guess that's how my mind spun it
Cops great. The dude filming this place is a bit of a loser though. I thought he was there making a documentary or something. But nah... He was just being annoying for attention and to bait confrontation.
@@grilledleeks6514 But some people do say that even though they're trying to get a rise out of people and I don't the rise out of people and I don't think that should be protected because you're basically goading people cause you basically goading people into violence because you want that's because you want content
every police academy needs to add a pre req of a 12 month course that just covers law and then every single year after graduation the officers should attend a one month refresher course that updates on law changes and reminds them what is in the constitution. So many of the cops seen in these videos seem to make up their own laws as they go or they think policy is law.
The policewoman seemed kinda annoyed to be called over there but she acted very professionally and resolved the matter quickly. Well done deputy Parker!
Except she just HAD to go there with her directives of telling him to "just don't go behind their fence" which he clearly already knows that and already stated that he didn't and wasn't going to either. They just HAVE to get that in there. They just HAVE to. They can't EVER just walk away.
@@jamierupert7563 So what? The guy filming was obviously upsetting those other dudes even though he didn't break any laws. She didn't say it as if she was sure he was going to do it, she just meant everything's fine and he's not doing anything wrong as long as he doesn't cross that line.
I actually love that this officer not only stood up for this man's rights to film, but also did not even care to ask him his reasons for filming(She just knew he was within his rights and that's all she needed to know.)
Wasn't one of the comments made that "simply holding a camera is not enough to implicate the First Amendment"? That is, the reason *does* matter (at least for it to be a First Amendment issue). Depending on the laws surrounding recording others on private property in that locality, she absolutely would have needed to know his reasons to determine whether or not he was using his camera in a way that was within his rights.
@@dismalthoughts ... But even if he was using his camera for "personal recreational use" and not as a "form of communication", everything that is not forbidden is permitted so unless he was committing a specific crime, he should be allowed to record video in a public place. He would not be protected by the 1st amendment, but by the 4th.
@@dismalthoughts it was public property, so no there's no reason to ask why. When in public he's perfectly within his rights to use his phone or recording device for whatever reason without having his rights infringed upon.
@@erico7245 That makes sense. Jesus Christ, how on earth is anyone meant to keep track of all the different nuances and exceptions to these rules?? It is literally impossible to ever be 100% that you're completely obeying the law, even if you're trying.
Yeah....unless she was just following along and did what he said because he sounded convincing and if she didn't encounter him but a corrupt cop at the scene she'd follow him along. But who knows, benefit of the doubt, glad she did the correct thing.
These videos are my favorite. I like seeing everyone in an interaction being smart. The employees could have been much much worse. They still didn't do great but have seen so much worse. The cop was one of the best I've seen on this channel
@@jerseyshoredroneservices225 Yup. She was very hesitant until he said that. Just because she did 'the right thing' doesn't mean she deserved an A+. She was timid at best and sounded like it pained her to be telling them what News Now was doing was perfectly legal. Then had to give a directive as they always do and say "don't go beyond the fence". Yeah no shit. She knew who he was. I give her a C+.
@@jasras5003 Lol she wasn't hesitant, she probably was just annoyed with the oil company workers. She did not want to be there because it was children being tribal about video, it was definetly A+ just because she didn't demand they respect his rights doesn't mean she didn't do a good job.
Parker felt no compulsion to boss around the auditor and didn't seem to have any ego issues at all. She honored her oath and brought honor to police. Good on her!
@Sonny Burnett::: If she is not bossy, why did she tell the auditor not to go near her vehicle or behind the fence? 14:08 The auditor forced her to do the right thing. If those guys had talked to her first the outcome would have been quite different. You can see it in her face and body language.
@@Hear-MeoutTwo2 there’s something awfully annoying about you. It’s like you have an ick that any small and fragile, you find an excuse to cause a problem. I feel bad for your well being.
@@Hear-MeoutTwo2 it was an attempt to make a directive, but she didn’t get upset or ask again. She was well in her rights to ASK, he declined, & didn’t make a thing about it.
A police officer that knows the law is a dangerously endangered species. Well done Deputy Parker you are an example to the rest of the cops in this country.
@@JayOhBreezy Likely not. I never seen a supervisor get called out and do the right thing. They always back the street cop who is clearly doing the wrong thing.
Perhaps! But this was an important example on how the system is supposed to work! And an important education for the rest of us on our actual rights as citizens. I know that for conservatives and those on the right, living under a police state might be desirable, in an erroneous belief that this will radically reduce crime and increase law and order... But for the rest of us, this would be a complete and utter nightmare! Which would erode our rights, our freedoms and our liberties! And fundamentally change the essence of America Itself! A country that claims to aspire to be all those things, but yet, was built upon the backs of Slaves. America is still transitioning itself from those dark times, and its Civil War still rumbles on... Which makes videos like these even more essential!
@@dommiedarkoh8816 The auditor of course. People who insist that their random filming of stuff, even if asked not to, is protected under the 1st Amendment. People who basically exploit a loophole in jurisdiction. Because it SHOULD be illegal to film when someone tells you not to. Only official members of the press should be exempt to be allowed to film whatever they please. But just some randos filming others or private property in public, even if asked to stop, should not be allowed to do so.
@@Quotenwagnerianer The Press are not in any way, shape, or form more special then anyone else. Instituting a class of people who can 'officially' report/picture/ect would bring Ben Franklin back from his gave to strangle anyone who supports such a thing.

It doesn't matter if the President, Joint Chiefs of Staff, or Smokey the Bear tell you stop filming, if it's legal then tell them to fuck right off, as the founders intended.

I remember when I moved from Texas to Florida, a 3 days drive, the car full with all my stuff, and I slept one night in it at a Florida truck stop because I was very tight on money. A while after putting my seat back to sleep, a cop knocked at my window, I explained to him what was going on, and he told me they would come around during the night to check I was doing ok. It was surprising and felt very nice to know they would watch for me.
He was letting you know they would be watching you if you decided to do anything untoward. It's a good strategy to make someone feels safe though, as you highlighted.
@@Cody-pn8wy his tone of voice and attitude was more like "dont be worried" than "you are advised"...and I said "thank you", so I dont think they thought I may be up to something...besides, my car was full of suitcases, boxes, a tv, my car plate was from Texas...I really felt they were genuine nice
If there ever was an example of a perfect audit on all sides, this is it. One may argue that the oil workers were in the wrong by calling the police, but in this case, they were naive to the laws, handled it in a respectful manner, and even laughed about their misunderstanding of the law. I commend the officer for clearly defining the law to the workers.
Not really in the wrong, they can call the cops, there is nothing wrong in that. And given the risk of attacks on utilities I can see how they would be concerned.
Their other failing is that they seemed inclined to compel him to stick around and answer their questions, talk to them, and wait for police. He was totally agreeable to that, but if he’s said, “Nah, I’m just going to leave,” I worry they might have escalated.
@@matthewharvey3556 There's no law against that. If that was against the law, then every vehicle sales man that I have ever dealt with is guilty of the same
@@PBMS123 It’s interesting that the government, through its reaction to the terror attacks around 9/11/01 (20+ years ago), has often talked about the “risks” to utilities and in several audit videos employees object to filming for such “risks”, yet there has been no documented physical attacks by “terrorists” of such utilities. The only terror-related attacks I’ve heard about are cyber attacks. I’ve got no issue with vigilance, but the paranoia some people have is concerning. There’s likely high quality Google Street View photos online of this facility, yet employees like these don’t seem to see the inconsistencies of their concerns.
It's good people like her, who should be training rookies and bad officers, on how to handle situations. I wish her a raise, and hope she gets to train rookies. Much respect to her ♥
And the dude did it for a few seconds before slowly turning it back. He half it 45 degree for a moment lol it just didn’t feel right to him. All vertical shots
Didn't like it when they filmed him, did he? accusing 'them of freaking the hell out' Typical political statement hypocrite when nobody even once said he couldn't do what he wanted from a public road.
@@Pattoe Well they could have legit security concerns. A place like that could be a target from a variety of groups. Also I am curious where the line is for invasion privacy is. If someone is video taping on the street towards your house is that ok? And what about threw the windows? And is there such a line for the workplace?
This video made it on my online police officer training for first amendment auditors. Been a long time fan of this channel and I'm just happy to see that this channel is helping to change officer public interactions for the better.
9:50-10:20 shows how on point this officer is. She doesn't stop the man from talking because she knows she is getting information from him. Then, without escalating the situation, she visually checks him for weapons when he looks away to call to the oil people. All while maintaining a defensive but non-aggressive posture for officer safety.
I can't imagine the amount of work that goes into researching each and every one of these laws you outline. Especially considering every city and state that you end up having to cover in your content. Well done!
@@251rmartin Generally speaking, no. All laws by necessity must be freely available in some form or another to the public. This is to ensure that ignorance of the law is not a valid excuse--if laws were not freely available for the public to study, one could reasonably argue ignorance to be a valid excuse. After all, how can you be expected to follow a law if you don't have access to the information that tells you what's illegal? The only thing that might vary by jurisdiction is the medium by which the various state and local codes are made available, but these days virtually every municipality's code is freely available in some form on the internet.
@@251rmartin The real skill is speaking legalize! Even if you know where to look, you have know 30 other case laws and precedents to even understand it.
Not american, but in my country there is a site run by the government that has everything related to law about the judiciary, legislative and executive powers, and it's specifically for reading the law, where everything is laid out, with everything organized by theme, and there are explanations about principles and ideologies about law-making and where the general thing you look for could be. Maybe there is something like that in the USA
This is the first video I’ve seen where the officer didn’t start with “I need to see your ID” and then escalate it from there! Amazing!!!! She is awesome wish I could see more encounters like that instead of officers demanding something that’s unnecessary!
What's funny to me too is she's the youngest looking officer I've seen in a video so far. Normally I would have guessed that the less tenured officers would be the ones to make mistakes like that, but evidently it's the veteran officers who have just forgotten the training to avoid escalation.
I love that he attempted to educate the man in the truck (who handled the situation better than his coworkers,) about turning his camera to the landscape orientation to take his photos of him.
This was my first reaction. If you are worried that someone walking by might see your shit, put your shit behind a more solid fence or... maybe... a "WALL"? But it's an Oil Company, so they probably don't have a lot of money for decent security measures. That's why they need all those Tax breaks and government subsidies...
@@andrewtomlinson5237 Yeah.. my indigent dying aunt recognized how evil she was and was ashamed to request affordable healthcare after finding out that the Koch family is making due with only $128.8 billion in 2023. We can all afford to tighten our belts and have a little humility when we see this kind of travesty taking place on our planet.
Just one day, I would like a cop to walk up and say ... "Hello citizen, we have receive a report of a suspicious person in the area, have you seen anybody acting suspiciously in this area?"
Somebody made a similar joke in Europe when he was trying to figure out how you were supposed to “hold a fish suspiciously” (For context, it’s illegal to hold a fish suspiciously apparently)
They only hire low IQ thugs to become cops. Those who wont question what they are trained or ordered what to do. They don't want higher IQ types who might use their moral compass and question something before acting like a programmed robot with a hive mentality and violate somebody's rights or stopping a fellow gang member from doing so.
To be honest, the guys who called the police are probably some of the nicest guys on this channel. They had no bad intentions what so ever. They just were misinformed or not aware of the real rights involved in the situation.
I understand the concern, but calling the cops is always fraught with danger. Way to many LEO’s will needlessly escalate the most innocuous of situations. When it comes to filming in public, critical infrastructure and petroleum facilities do present a challenge for law enforcement. Totality of each situation must be considered by LE when responding to a “suspicious persons” filming call. Consensual contact doesn’t seem inappropriate to address intent, but without clear indication of nefarious activity, anything more is outside of lawful duties.
@@Garthbrooks4756 Again. Totality of the circumstances matters. Walking around in plain sight and daylight, wearing a conspicuous camera rig, and engaging in casual conversation with the employees are all great indicators that this guy has no nefarious intent.
I love the fact that everyone was informed and it went well, kudos to the police woman who was well informed and even explained the situation to all involved.
This guy was not trespassing but at the same time he's a total loser for wanting to cause drama. All for what? To record the property? Lmao 🤦♂️ some ppl just want to be around drama and make a big fuss over nothing. That includes the oil man as well
@@rayromano6249 You entirely fail to understand the point of whats going. Your argument is disingenuous and specious. This channel uploads audits of local police departments and their knowledge and adherence to The US Constitution. Defending the validity of The Constitution by doing an audit of the people we fund and trust with positions of authority is far from being a loser or causing drama. If everyone had such a devil may care attitude as you then I can assure you things would be worse for everyone. The standard is the standard. Period. You cant have armed people in positions of power ignorant to the rights of the citizens they police. I know your feelings are hurt because you got called out but lets end the back and forth before it begins. Everyone is entitled to an opinion but not all opinions are created equally and yours is bad. You are wrong about this situation and the people involved, and thats the end of it. I hope you use your brain a little more in the future so that you have a leg to stand on when someone wants to debate your views. This is shooting fish in a barrel
@@rayromano6249 did you even watch the video? the guy recording said that he was recording the big oil wells since he didn't see them that often, and so he did that legally without breaking any laws, he didn't start any drama.. do you realize that if you flee after cops being called on you, that makes you automatically look suspicious? him exercising his rights is in no way causing any drama, sounds like someone's projecting
It is refreshing to see that there are good cops out there. Far to often we see cops force their will against the citizen instead of upholding the law. Love to see the good ones highlighted.
Let’s be real if there were more cops or more experienced cops they would’ve tried to talk shit she just seems like it’s her first day on the job and hasn’t become a huge asshole yet
The officer was still a tyrant. The first thing she said to the callers is "if he goes into your property then let us know" and ofcourse before she left she had to bark unnecessary directives "just do me a favor don't you go behind that fence"
@@whatitisnt. You obviously didn't listen to AtA's analysis. It was appropriate for her to clarify to the workers what the law was so that they know when and when not to call the police. If you think that makes her a tyrant, you need to take a breath and examine your own biases.
I really liked this one. The officer was so calm and collected, and taking the time to educate the workers was literally above and beyond. She did an amazing job, and an example of how officers should respond to calls.
As I cop in the 9th Circuit, I enjoy watching many of these videos as most provide a good synopsis of case law pertinent to me as well as other regions, and help me continue my training to better learn the law and protect people's rights. I am one of the few cops that is neither for or against cops, but recognizes all government as a necessary evil for those who cannot govern themselves which, in my admittedly biased opinion, helps me keep my ego out of my involvements with people. This is one of the few channels that doesn't just brow beat cops and attempt to incite unnecessary violence, and I appreciate that.
I absolutely agree with you brother. Any halfway smart human being understands that we need good cops. What the citizens and the law enforcement world don't need is bad cops. This world would be unlivable without yall I believe you're worst enemy is a bad cop. It makes your job so much harder. I've seem alot of these videos where one or two tyrant officers go on a rampage and other officers around them don't join in bit at the same time do nothing to stop them. And I get it , in a way. If they do step in they have their whole department to deal with. But if you do nothing aren't you just as bad as they are? It's a catch 22. I believe to be a really good officer you have to put a stop to rights violations no matter who does it. Because you swore an oath to do just that. Thank you for you're service brother.
What the hell even restricts expressive conduct? "I was filming for press" "I was filming because it was interesting" "I was filming because I film everything" All of those statements are completely valid in expressive conduct.
If there is a lack of intent, perhaps? Accidental filming might not be protected speech, or (if this is possible) randomly generated filming without purpose. You were carrying a negative on your person and received an impression while moving from point A to B. You were holding an arduino-programmed geiger counter that records levels above unsafe radiation, but captured an unexpected random spike in radiation in the reflection of a solar flare near a university lab with a large satellite dish while driving past it by accident. Perhaps it could be argued that absent intent, there was no inherent expression in the image that was captured (visually or other image) and therefore the image itself does not constitute speech, which therefore isn't protected? I haven't a clue really, but that's the best I can contrive.

@@jacksmith4460 In iraq, this is what they did before attacking US military bases, they filmed and got all the intelligence they needed and where to hit with mortars and suicide car bombings and what not. They most of the time didn't just go in guns ablazing. US Soldiers after raiding the homes of locals found surveillance of such US bases that was hit and was about to be hit.

One of the things I like most about the AtA channel is that you guys show when a cop has "done good" as well as showing when it goes the other way. Fair and balanced.
He's awesome. I loved his quick and witty response to "What can we do [to stop someone from filming]?" "Build a brick wall." 10/10 on that reply. And 10/10 on Deputy Parker, both for the way she handled the situation and her gorgeousness.
The best part of all of this, is that the officer knew the law, and didn't come into the situation hell bent on making an arrest and throwing her weight around with her badge. She also de-escalated the situation as opposed to most of the male officers that usually show up on these calls. In other words she protected and served!! Good job!!!
@@ronaldmunoz3207 "throwing her weight around with her badge". Basically he just meant using her power and authority, not her actual size. You're right though, she used her brain instead of her power for sure.
Absolutely noting more satisfying when watching police videos and seeing a cop stand up for what is legal. Officer Parker get’s a PHD in defending a right that guaranteed. The police dept she works for should be very proud of her as well as her community.
It’s kinda sad how we’re so proud of an officer for doing their job correctly. Goes to show how corrupt the justice system really is. Good for deputy Parker
@@favoritesfavorites6451 "@KeystoneAgent in relation to the tens of thousands of interactions per day across the country....they actually are." How many of those interactions are illegal but the people timidly comply for fear of being abused or arrested. As more and more people record their or other's interactions with police you are seeing more and more how the police abuse their authority and the law. For instance, it is illegal for the police to require people to identify themselves unless they first articulate the law that has been violated and their reasonable suspicion that the person has or is violating that law. And yet whenever they stop someone for a traffic infraction they routinely require all other people in the vehicle to identify themselves as well in spite of the fact that it is unlawful for them to do so.
@@favoritesfavorites6451 And the same can be said of what you said as well. And yet the video evidence that proves you wrong and that proves me correct keeps increasing every day. And it is also considered to be the rule that what is proven is always a fraction of what actually happens. You know, like when they say that the number of sexual assaults reported is a fraction of what is reported; the same as regular assaults and robberies and thefts and shoplifting and embezzlement and etcetera etcetera etcetera. Just because people do not complain does not make it legal.
Yeah, I didn't watch his original full video, but his assertion that the employees freaked out is a stretch. I think they were pretty calm and collected and rightly suspicious of his activities.
If we want to stop bad cops, Verbally inform good cops that you appreciate what they do and that it’s good to see there is still some out there. If you want to stop bad cops get them on film go to their superior first and if nothing is done go to the news. I can almost assure you pressure is something they hate and continuous pressure about specific police officers leads to dismissal. The good cops out there deserve to not be treated like their bad counterparts.
Give written feedback if possible! A few letters of praise from the community can leapfrog great officers over the trash for promotions. Compassionate leaders like this officer can completely change the law enforcement landscape in this nation within a generation or so.
It doesn't work that way. Just because you see a cop acting properly does not mean they can't be bad cops later on. Their behavior is determined by the people they deal with. Meaning cops are very prejudice
Mr gear is one of the most polite and educated journalist that I have ever taken the time to watch. And I also want to say thank you to the officer for not giving directives and just explaining that he hasn't broken any laws and he has the right to do what he's doing. No one was shot, tased, beaten or ended up in jail. Those that needed it were educated so it was a good day.
One of the best AtA videos yet. Kudos to that cop, they really did a true cop's job; my grandfather would have been proud. The auditor was MAGNIFICENT, they were a perfect reporter and an amazing ambassador. Others should take lessons!
I'm a guard at a power plant. People stop by to take photos all the time. All I do is take note of it, report it to the other guards on site, and smile and wave. Now dealing with people flying drones over the plant has become a new development here lately, so that's actually involved law enforcement due to the plant being a no-fly zone under a certain altitude.
@@bigd3046 Because a right not exercised is a right lost, and people are less and less aware of their rights as time goes on. These people are doing a great service to the public by providing education, and exposing corruption. They're no different than journalists exposing government corruption, with the exception that unlike mainstream media, these people aren't owned by huge companies receiving government funding and directed to push a narrative.
Deputy Parker is a fine example of a Law Enforcement Officer that has a very good grasp of the laws that she is enforcing, AND the rights of all the citizens that she is protecting. A splendid young officer!
Wow she wasn't afraid to show up by herself, and she handled the situation better than many of the squads from other departments we've seen sent out for these situations.
@@hxd9321 I think the insinuation here is that many of these videos you see 2-4 large male leos respond over one random dude filming. "masculinity" is a rather highly prized thing to may LEOs and as a general societal norm men are expected to take more risk and be "braver" though that norm is being, rightfully, challenged and gradually overturned. Where as here you have someone alone who, yes, happens to be a woman dealing with the same situation professionally and confidently.
My brother had the cops called on him for having a telephoto lens on his camera at the beach (he was filming surfers) the officer basically told him your not doing anything wrong but I have to show that I made contact with you, have a nice day.
One of my CROWNING moments!!: Transformer on a pole on MY property needed to be replaced. My neighbor complained to Comm Ed. Turns out the transformer should have been replaced years agom by law, at Comm Ed's expense. Well, Comm Ed charged my neighbor $10,000. And she paid. When they showed up to start work, they were all set to put all kinds of equipment on my driveway. I told them they couldn't. A supervisor was called. He told me they had an easement. I already knew THEY HAD NO EASEMENT!!! I told them the toll was $10,000. That supervisor's head nearly spun off he was so mad. Eventually they got special equipment to avoid my property. On day two, the workers (who were all nice guys) begged me to let them roll a gigantic wheel of heavy wire on my driveway. I told them first they had to put their cherry picker in my yard and trim a few big tree limbs.. They happily did it.
Yea, but at the same time, she still had to throw in at the end as long you don't go here or go on the property it's ok. He already knows not to! He told you that in the beginning. She just had to say that I'm front of them to make it look as if she scolded him for them. 😡🤦🏼♂️🤨🤔
Fantastic job by officer Parker. I wish there were more like her. I hope she gets the recognition she deserves. Thanks for highlighting the good as well as the bad.
There was once an Amtrak police officer that once defended the filming rights of some railfans at a station after some mechanical crew called them “terrorists” for doing so. It’s PUBLIC PROPERTY people
Yeah largely in part to people like this who spend literally the day trying to get as many cops to come to their location for literally nothing. Remember, neither a cop nor a dispatcher can decide what calls are worth coming to. They HAVE to respond to everything. How much time they spend there is on them. But people like this just drag cops around the city knowing someone will call, so they can get their RUclips clicks.
@@lowkeylokii4205 so ignore the fact that they are only coming out because they are being called by people who think other people don't have rights? They called the cops because a guy was walking around filming on a public road. That's legal activity. There was no reason for police involvement in the first place. These people don't know their property line and don't know the law, unfortunately cops aren't lawyers so they don't have intimate knowledge of the law and usually are trying to do their best in the situation at hand. People need to understand that their personal suspicion doesn't constitute a crime nor does it justify a call to police. They could've easily busted out their phones and educated themselves on the law instead of thinking the cops are their private security. They weren't in any danger. Even after learning they were wrong they still asked "well what can we do about him?" You can leave him the fck alone and continue running your business or take his advice and build a brick wall🤣
@@ray6240 yep. Your logic is to ignore the suspicious guy and hope he doesn't make a mess of everything. Solid thinking there champ. Let's change the scenario a bit. What if the guy was at a public park. Which he has every right to be in. And he's just taking pictures. Of everyone there. EVERYONE. You still gonna PrOTeCt HIs RIGHts then too ? Because legally, he can also do the same. You're kind of the reason that bombers and shooters tend to get a free pass to cause mass destruction. You're so obsessed with protecting the letter of the law thar you throw basic logic and instinct out the window at the cost of everyone's safety. They had a concern. They called a cop. The cop cleared it up. It's simple as that. If I'm working with a highly flammable or dangerous material I'll call the cops every single time some stranger comes up and starts filming me doing it from the middle of the street lmao Like I mentioned before,, this only works out because we know he's harmless. If the guy actually surveyed the area like this for weeks before planting bombs and blowing the facility up, you'd be complaining why was he never looked into as a suspect since he was seen filming the area for days or weeks prior.
@@lowkeylokii4205 lol nice assumption. No I wouldnt be complaining. I don't believe in suspending peoples rights for the comfort of others. I've had my pic taken in a park by auditors. It's their right because I'm in a public place. You're the one with the ass backwards logic. There's over 300 million people in the country and less than 1% are violent criminals. If your fear is that someones going to bomb you because you saw them filming you then you have some real issues and id advise that you seek therapy. The chances of it happening are preety darn slim. Your comfort does not supercede a person's rights and your argument reeks of "guilty til proven innocent" Like you said, they're free to call the cops and it got cleared up. Your original point is still non sense. The cops aren't there because of the photographer, the cops are there because of the CALLER. He wasn't doing anything illegal and he could've continued filming if he wanted after the cop left just like she said he could. Even if he WAS planning to plant a bomb; please explain what transpired in the interaction that wouldve prevented it since the police said he still had the right to film? You still don't know that he's harmless. Please explain. What did calling the cops accomplish besides wasting everyone's time? And just to be clear, I'm NOT saying don't call the cops. I'm saying that they are there because of the caller and not because a person is exercising their rights while conducting a fully legal activity, so do your best not to center your argument around that 🤙🏾
...DJ gets an A meaning Ahole... loitering around a sensitive area, especially for the explicit purpose of creating a controversy over public vs private property access is exceeding stupid from the get-go... nice work nimrods....
As a Security Officer at an oil refinery back in the 90's, we had a similar incident. The refinery had all these signs posted saying that video and photography were not allowed. Well I was dispatched to address the matter with someone outside the property taking pictures. I basically just went out and asked him what he was doing and who he was. He explained that he was a former employee and was suing the oil company for unsafe working conditions. (Though I have to add he was under no obligation to tell me anything)... And that was it. I was well aware that there was nothing we could do and that the guy wasn't breaking the law. I went back and explained that to the oil company managers and I was fired. Fast forward 30 years and the oil refinery closed down and I'm the Operations Manager for a Security Company... I still stand by my actions to this day, and try to school all my officers to think before acting blindly. If they act in good faith, I will always back them.
@@Ammut6 The security industry doesn't work like that. They won't give you a reason. They'll just swap you out for someone else and transfer you to another post.
Large companies dont care about peoples rights, they care about their bottom line, and results. If they have determined that people taking pictures are bad for their bottom line, they expect their employees to fight to the death to prevent pictures lol.
A vast majority of cops are actually nice people. They are people just as you and I. Some of them get a little power hungry and dont care about the law, but as I have seen, that is the minority.
The officer was still a tyrant. The first thing she said to the callers is "if he goes into your property then you let us know" and ofcourse before she left she had to bark unnecessary directives "just do me a favor don't you go behind the fence"
Whoever*. (I am not trying to be a dick, I just figure using whom incorrectly gives the opposite impression you might have been looking for. So to help you out for future reference, an easy way to remember which you should use is to replace who/whom with he/him, or they/them if you prefer to work out whether you should use who or whom. For example in your case it would be "He/they live(s) in that town" rather than "Him/them live(s) in that town" so you would use "whoever". It is quite easy to remember too since "him" and "them" both end with "m" just like whom. Another example would be "Whom am i speaking to? Im speaking with HIM, etc. hope that helps! ;)

Felony theft!🤣
Those guys learned two things today:
1) they can’t tell someone they can’t film from public property
2) hold your phone horizontally for better images.
Honestly based pf him to make sure his picture was in landscape and not portrait. All american have the right to be in landscape mode.
@@masoncombs7799 is that because they wouldn't fit inside the boarders of the portrait mode lol

“Turn your phone sideways you get a better picture” i just love the audacity
But he was wrong about it
No, photographers always say to hold the phone horizontally to caprure more of the scene.
As photographer, it's always bothered me people have the notion of always recording vertically. Doing so is hole in the head. The wrong perspective is just there before whoever is recording and yet they don't even see it.
He gets an A+ for saying that
Seemed like some petty jab because he was butthurt they were following and recording him. Weird how he has a problem with them using their rights to film and be on public property
I love cops who know the law. I was homeless for awhile and looked up "right to rest" laws so i could sleep in my car in a residential area if I was on the road. The cops got called on me, told me i could stay there and didn't have to go, they wished me a good night. Bless them
Mind citing something documenting the laws you are speaking of? Because where I live it is very clearly forbidden via city ordinance.
@@joedirt8351 That might depend on specific location.
I don't actually live in America, but I can't imagine you could be fined for falling asleep
@@wessltov there have been w lot of aggressive anti homeless stuff being done and laws passed so it's actually not that surprising. i don't understand why people call the cops on people sleeping in their card though. like what danger does that pose to them?
I used to live in a car. It was common for cops to wake me up in the mornings, make sure i was just sleeping and not dead. I didn't mind
@@kennethM For real? That's nauseating to think about!
Having nothing should *not* be illegal, since that would essentially make it illegal to just _be_
What I like most about this is how Parker is clearly annoyed with the cameraman, but she doesn't let that get in the way of protecting his rights.
to be fair tho, cops are always annoyed with whoever is on scene whenever they are called, it seems.
A mind-reader, eh? Impressive. lol
@@Tar-Von Around 9:47 her expression changes from a neutral to a near-smile when he says "freaked out", it changes back when he says he doesn't mind them calling the police because no crime is being comitted @ 9:54.
This implies that she knew she was wasting her time before she got there, thought he was on her side but recognised that he didn't mind wasting her time. She even drops eye contact and looks past him at 9:55, despite him giving her a lot of information.
At 9:58, when he's calling the other guy and he's checking him out, you don't see her flinch or react to him raising his voice. In fact, she has no reactions or anything to say to him at all until she walks across the road to talk to the other guys. When he then tells her he wants to film her telling them, she sighs/laughs/exhales deeply at 10:32.

This police dept knew *exactly* what they were doing when they sent her to respond to this call. Honestly, brilliant PR awareness on their part.

I like this idea!
This is the first officer I’ve found on Audit the Audit that got an A+. Good job Officer Parker!
There are a couple of them on this channel. Three I've seen, maybe.
Did you start watching when you made this comment?
No. But she's the hottest
The thumbnail of her brought me here
Yall tastes are suspect if the thumbnail was attractive
This is the quietest I've ever seen a cop lol, really refreshing to see a cop show up to a scene of a call and not immediately start barking orders. She just listened and got a clear picture of what was going on before saying a word.
Exactly, i hate that barking order things
She hot asf
I just left searched good police interaction because I watched a short, and it was exactly my thoughts refreshing!
Hopefully her career doesn't muddy her soul like it did to my cousin.
This is why we need a lot more female officers.
Bruh said, ..."build a brick wall." 😂
I just called their office to thank them. She's been promoted to corporal. I told them it was a great move. We need more like her. The woman I spoke to at the Sheriff's office was very kind. If you look at the original video, the contact info is all there. Make her famous in a good way for a change.
Wow that's genuinely nice to hear
@@chrisj8696 Imagine saying “this cop is cool and different” then still using the term ACAB. Quite literally a contradiction
@@chrisj8696 See, this is why I have a problem with the whole ACAB thing. I have met some officers who were damn fine people and used their position as a cop to do as much good as they could. I even knew one who spent his own money to buy a building and turn it into a roller ring so the kids of the town had a place to hang out instead of getting in trouble out of boredom (it was a small town). Not all cops are bad.
@@chrisj8696 I think it goes both ways. Maybe if people would stop resisting arrest, carrying guns, doing actual illegal stuff then we prob would also see a change.
Is it ok if i say that "All black people are gangbangers/criminals"? Ofcourse I know the majority are great people, but just a small % fucks it up for the rest. Same goes for cops and other "groups".
And they probably didn't give 2 craps about your call. You think your more important than you are
If any officers actually read the comments, please know 1 stone cold fact: For as angry as I get seeing the videos showing cops abusing their power, I get 10 times the emotion during the ones where the cops do their jobs.
Their job isn't about their opinions, just ensuring laws are enforced and rights aren't violated.

Every police academy in the US needs a film of this peace officer. It shows how to do the job properly to the benefit of the citizenry.
crazy when just acting calm and not being biased is something most officers don't have as their go to behavior. mostly just control and intimidate
Cops great. The dude filming this place is a bit of a loser though. I thought he was there making a documentary or something. But nah... He was just being annoying for attention and to bait confrontation.

every police academy needs to add a pre req of a 12 month course that just covers law and then every single year after graduation the officers should attend a one month refresher course that updates on law changes and reminds them what is in the constitution.
So many of the cops seen in these videos seem to make up their own laws as they go or they think policy is law.
@@grilledleeks6514 He's not the one who called the police.

Except she just HAD to go there with her directives of telling him to "just don't go behind their fence" which he clearly already knows that and already stated that he didn't and wasn't going to either. They just HAVE to get that in there. They just HAVE to. They can't EVER just walk away.

Finally a legal explanation of why these guys always say "I'm a private journalist gathering information for a story" thank you!
I actually love that this officer not only stood up for this man's rights to film, but also did not even care to ask him his reasons for filming(She just knew he was within his rights and that's all she needed to know.)
Wasn't one of the comments made that "simply holding a camera is not enough to implicate the First Amendment"? That is, the reason *does* matter (at least for it to be a First Amendment issue). Depending on the laws surrounding recording others on private property in that locality, she absolutely would have needed to know his reasons to determine whether or not he was using his camera in a way that was within his rights.
@@dismalthoughts ... But even if he was using his camera for "personal recreational use" and not as a "form of communication", everything that is not forbidden is permitted so unless he was committing a specific crime, he should be allowed to record video in a public place. He would not be protected by the 1st amendment, but by the 4th.
@@dismalthoughts it was public property, so no there's no reason to ask why. When in public he's perfectly within his rights to use his phone or recording device for whatever reason without having his rights infringed upon.

He said that he had sued her department previously. Perhaps that's the only reason that she understands.
@@jerseyshoredroneservices225 Yup. She was very hesitant until he said that. Just because she did 'the right thing' doesn't mean she deserved an A+.

Perhaps! But this was an important example on how the system is supposed to work! And an important education for the rest of us on our actual rights as citizens.
I know that for conservatives and those on the right, living under a police state might be desirable, in an erroneous belief that this will radically reduce crime and increase law and order...
But for the rest of us, this would be a complete and utter nightmare! Which would erode our rights, our freedoms and our liberties! And fundamentally change the essence of America Itself! A country that claims to aspire to be all those things, but yet, was built upon the backs of Slaves.
America is still transitioning itself from those dark times, and its Civil War still rumbles on... Which makes videos like these even more essential!
@@dommiedarkoh8816 The auditor of course. People who insist that their random filming of stuff, even if asked not to, is protected under the 1st Amendment.

This is precisely what people expect when it comes to community policing.
agreed, and dont forget a lot of times this IS the way policing is done.
@@OOAK-Ireland True! Which is why calling out the bad cops for their bad behavior is so important.
I remember when I moved from Texas to Florida, a 3 days drive, the car full with all my stuff, and I slept one night in it at a Florida truck stop because I was very tight on money. A while after putting my seat back to sleep, a cop knocked at my window, I explained to him what was going on, and he told me they would come around during the night to check I was doing ok. It was surprising and felt very nice to know they would watch for me.
100% not my experience with Florida pigs. Video on my channel 'Addressing the Florida Pigs' on how FL cops behave.
He was letting you know they would be watching you if you decided to do anything untoward. It's a good strategy to make someone feels safe though, as you highlighted.
@@Cody-pn8wy good point, but it could be both
@@timothyalan34 it is both either way, it would make the lawful feel safe and the guilty less likely to commit crimes. 1000 iq plays by the police

If there ever was an example of a perfect audit on all sides, this is it. One may argue that the oil workers were in the wrong by calling the police, but in this case, they were naive to the laws, handled it in a respectful manner, and even laughed about their misunderstanding of the law. I commend the officer for clearly defining the law to the workers.
Not really in the wrong, they can call the cops, there is nothing wrong in that. And given the risk of attacks on utilities I can see how they would be concerned.
Their only failing, is their ignorance of the law
Their other failing is that they seemed inclined to compel him to stick around and answer their questions, talk to them, and wait for police. He was totally agreeable to that, but if he’s said, “Nah, I’m just going to leave,” I worry they might have escalated.
@@matthewharvey3556 There's no law against that. If that was against the law, then every vehicle sales man that I have ever dealt with is guilty of the same
@@PBMS123 It’s interesting that the government, through its reaction to the terror attacks around 9/11/01 (20+ years ago), has often talked about the “risks” to utilities and in several audit videos employees object to filming for such “risks”, yet there has been no documented physical attacks by “terrorists” of such utilities. The only terror-related attacks I’ve heard about are cyber attacks. I’ve got no issue with vigilance, but the paranoia some people have is concerning. There’s likely high quality Google Street View photos online of this facility, yet employees like these don’t seem to see the inconsistencies of their concerns.
It's good people like her, who should be training rookies and bad officers, on how to handle situations. I wish her a raise, and hope she gets to train rookies. Much respect to her ♥

This video made it on my online police officer training for first amendment auditors. Been a long time fan of this channel and I'm just happy to see that this channel is helping to change officer public interactions for the better.
9:50-10:20 shows how on point this officer is. She doesn't stop the man from talking because she knows she is getting information from him. Then, without escalating the situation, she visually checks him for weapons when he looks away to call to the oil people. All while maintaining a defensive but non-aggressive posture for officer safety.
I can't imagine the amount of work that goes into researching each and every one of these laws you outline. Especially considering every city and state that you end up having to cover in your content. Well done!
As a lawyer, I would be shocked if he wasn’t one too
@@251rmartin Generally speaking, no. All laws by necessity must be freely available in some form or another to the public. This is to ensure that ignorance of the law is not a valid excuse--if laws were not freely available for the public to study, one could reasonably argue ignorance to be a valid excuse. After all, how can you be expected to follow a law if you don't have access to the information that tells you what's illegal?
The only thing that might vary by jurisdiction is the medium by which the various state and local codes are made available, but these days virtually every municipality's code is freely available in some form on the internet.
@@251rmartin The real skill is speaking legalize! Even if you know where to look, you have know 30 other case laws and precedents to even understand it.
Not american, but in my country there is a site run by the government that has everything related to law about the judiciary, legislative and executive powers, and it's specifically for reading the law, where everything is laid out, with everything organized by theme, and there are explanations about principles and ideologies about law-making and where the general thing you look for could be. Maybe there is something like that in the USA
This is the first video I’ve seen where the officer didn’t start with “I need to see your ID” and then escalate it from there! Amazing!!!! She is awesome wish I could see more encounters like that instead of officers demanding something that’s unnecessary!
What's funny to me too is she's the youngest looking officer I've seen in a video so far. Normally I would have guessed that the less tenured officers would be the ones to make mistakes like that, but evidently it's the veteran officers who have just forgotten the training to avoid escalation.
Proud to say this is MY county. I'm an avid follower and I'm glad my county handled this the right way!

We can all afford to tighten our belts and have a little humility when we see this kind of travesty taking place on our planet.
Just one day, I would like a cop to walk up and say ...
"Hello citizen, we have receive a report of a suspicious person in the area, have you seen anybody acting suspiciously in this area?"
I prefer them to roll up observe, if they don't see anything, then roll out.
To be fair as well, the man recording did make first contact with the officer according to his own footage.
@Medieval you can’t be that dumb…….
If they asked me that, I'd answer, "I was acting suspiciously, but it was only an act."

@@thecasualfly almost like this isn't an ATA video lol
They only hire low IQ thugs to become cops. Those who wont question what they are trained or ordered what to do.
They don't want higher IQ types who might use their moral compass and question something before acting like a programmed robot with a hive mentality and violate somebody's rights or stopping a fellow gang member from doing so.
To be honest, the guys who called the police are probably some of the nicest guys on this channel. They had no bad intentions what so ever. They just were misinformed or not aware of the real rights involved in the situation.
I understand the concern, but calling the cops is always fraught with danger. Way to many LEO’s will needlessly escalate the most innocuous of situations.
When it comes to filming in public, critical infrastructure and petroleum facilities do present a challenge for law enforcement. Totality of each situation must be considered by LE when responding to a “suspicious persons” filming call. Consensual contact doesn’t seem inappropriate to address intent, but without clear indication of nefarious activity, anything more is outside of lawful duties.
@@johnhiggs325 I think anyone who is reasonable would understand why someone might think it's suspicious some dude is filming a oil company like he is

Again. Totality of the circumstances matters. Walking around in plain sight and daylight, wearing a conspicuous camera rig, and engaging in casual conversation with the employees are all great indicators that this guy has no nefarious intent.

@@rayromano6249 You entirely fail to understand the point of whats going. Your argument is disingenuous and specious. This channel uploads audits of local police departments and their knowledge and adherence to The US Constitution. Defending the validity of The Constitution by doing an audit of the people we fund and trust with positions of authority is far from being a loser or causing drama. If everyone had such a devil may care attitude as you then I can assure you things would be worse for everyone. The standard is the standard. Period. You cant have armed people in positions of power ignorant to the rights of the citizens they police. I know your feelings are hurt because you got called out but lets end the back and forth before it begins. Everyone is entitled to an opinion but not all opinions are created equally and yours is bad. You are wrong about this situation and the people involved, and thats the end of it.

It is refreshing to see that there are good cops out there. Far to often we see cops force their will against the citizen instead of upholding the law. Love to see the good ones highlighted.
Let’s be real if there were more cops or more experienced cops they would’ve tried to talk shit she just seems like it’s her first day on the job and hasn’t become a huge asshole yet

@@whatitisnt.Relax.
She will probably be fired for being too nice...
@@whatitisnt. You obviously didn't listen to AtA's analysis. It was appropriate for her to clarify to the workers what the law was so that they know when and when not to call the police. If you think that makes her a tyrant, you need to take a breath and examine your own biases.
I love it when we see good cops. It’s very refreshing. Nice job Deputy Parker. Your community is lucky to have you.
What a pleasure to see a police officer who actually knows the law and behaved impeccably, she was first class.
I really liked this one. The officer was so calm and collected, and taking the time to educate the workers was literally above and beyond. She did an amazing job, and an example of how officers should respond to calls.
She handled it professionally and calm, despite the call was a waste of resources. I wish there would be more officers like her.
Y’all channel is so entertaining, thanks 🙏
As I cop in the 9th Circuit, I enjoy watching many of these videos as most provide a good synopsis of case law pertinent to me as well as other regions, and help me continue my training to better learn the law and protect people's rights. I am one of the few cops that is neither for or against cops, but recognizes all government as a necessary evil for those who cannot govern themselves which, in my admittedly biased opinion, helps me keep my ego out of my involvements with people. This is one of the few channels that doesn't just brow beat cops and attempt to incite unnecessary violence, and I appreciate that.
I absolutely agree with you brother. Any halfway smart human being understands that we need good cops. What the citizens and the law enforcement world don't need is bad cops. This world would be unlivable without yall I believe you're worst enemy is a bad cop. It makes your job so much harder. I've seem alot of these videos where one or two tyrant officers go on a rampage and other officers around them don't join in bit at the same time do nothing to stop them. And I get it , in a way. If they do step in they have their whole department to deal with. But if you do nothing aren't you just as bad as they are? It's a catch 22. I believe to be a really good officer you have to put a stop to rights violations no matter who does it. Because you swore an oath to do just that. Thank you for you're service brother.
Keep fighting the good fight
Thank you for your service and your ability to keep emotions out of your work. It is admittedly a hard thing to do, but so so so important.
In all honesty it'd be quite strange if you were a cop that is against(?!) cops! :D
What the hell even restricts expressive conduct?
"I was filming for press"
"I was filming because it was interesting"
"I was filming because I film everything"
All of those statements are completely valid in expressive conduct.
If there is a lack of intent, perhaps?
Accidental filming might not be protected speech, or (if this is possible) randomly generated filming without purpose. You were carrying a negative on your person and received an impression while moving from point A to B. You were holding an arduino-programmed geiger counter that records levels above unsafe radiation, but captured an unexpected random spike in radiation in the reflection of a solar flare near a university lab with a large satellite dish while driving past it by accident.
Perhaps it could be argued that absent intent, there was no inherent expression in the image that was captured (visually or other image) and therefore the image itself does not constitute speech, which therefore isn't protected?
I haven't a clue really, but that's the best I can contrive.

In iraq, this is what they did before attacking US military bases, they filmed and got all the intelligence they needed and where to hit with mortars and suicide car bombings and what not.

"@KeystoneAgent in relation to the tens of thousands of interactions per day across the country....they actually are."
How many of those interactions are illegal but the people timidly comply for fear of being abused or arrested. As more and more people record their or other's interactions with police you are seeing more and more how the police abuse their authority and the law.
For instance, it is illegal for the police to require people to identify themselves unless they first articulate the law that has been violated and their reasonable suspicion that the person has or is violating that law. And yet whenever they stop someone for a traffic infraction they routinely require all other people in the vehicle to identify themselves as well in spite of the fact that it is unlawful for them to do so.
@@favoritesfavorites6451
And the same can be said of what you said as well. And yet the video evidence that proves you wrong and that proves me correct keeps increasing every day. And it is also considered to be the rule that what is proven is always a fraction of what actually happens. You know, like when they say that the number of sexual assaults reported is a fraction of what is reported; the same as regular assaults and robberies and thefts and shoplifting and embezzlement and etcetera etcetera etcetera.

If we want to stop bad cops, Verbally inform good cops that you appreciate what they do and that it’s good to see there is still some out there. If you want to stop bad cops get them on film go to their superior first and if nothing is done go to the news. I can almost assure you pressure is something they hate and continuous pressure about specific police officers leads to dismissal. The good cops out there deserve to not be treated like their bad counterparts.
If we want to stop bad cops we need to get rid of qualified immunity.

Yes.
Give written feedback if possible! A few letters of praise from the community can leapfrog great officers over the trash for promotions.
Compassionate leaders like this officer can completely change the law enforcement landscape in this nation within a generation or so.
It doesn't work that way. Just because you see a cop acting properly does not mean they can't be bad cops later on. Their behavior is determined by the people they deal with. Meaning cops are very prejudice
Mr gear is one of the most polite and educated journalist that I have ever taken the time to watch. And I also want to say thank you to the officer for not giving directives and just explaining that he hasn't broken any laws and he has the right to do what he's doing. No one was shot, tased, beaten or ended up in jail. Those that needed it were educated so it was a good day.

One of my CROWNING moments!!: Transformer on a pole on MY property needed to be replaced. My neighbor complained to Comm Ed. Turns out the transformer should have been replaced years agom by law, at Comm Ed's expense. Well, Comm Ed charged my neighbor $10,000. And she paid. When they showed up to start work, they were all set to put all kinds of equipment on my driveway. I told them they couldn't. A supervisor was called. He told me they had an easement. I already knew THEY HAD NO EASEMENT!!! I told them the toll was $10,000. That supervisor's head nearly spun off he was so mad. Eventually they got special equipment to avoid my property. On day two, the workers (who were all nice guys) begged me to let them roll a gigantic wheel of heavy wire on my driveway. I told them first they had to put their cherry picker in my yard and trim a few big tree limbs.. They happily did it.
I've seen many of these auditing videos where it is assumed poles are on public land. NOT NECESSARILY.
Finally, the correct attitude of the officer. Bravo to this Lady, full respect and let others learn from her.

Yea, but at the same time, she still had to throw in at the end as long you don't go here or go on the property it's ok. He already knows not to! He told you that in the beginning. She just had to say that I'm front of them to make it look as if she scolded him for them. 😡🤦🏼♂️🤨🤔
Fantastic job by officer Parker. I wish there were more like her. I hope she gets the recognition she deserves. Thanks for highlighting the good as well as the bad.

Remember, neither a cop nor a dispatcher can decide what calls are worth coming to. They HAVE to respond to everything. How much time they spend there is on them. But people like this just drag cops around the city knowing someone will call, so they can get their RUclips clicks.
bruh a lot of ppl call 911 just bcs they see peple walking in sideway😂
@@lowkeylokii4205 so ignore the fact that they are only coming out because they are being called by people who think other people don't have rights? They called the cops because a guy was walking around filming on a public road. That's legal activity. There was no reason for police involvement in the first place. These people don't know their property line and don't know the law, unfortunately cops aren't lawyers so they don't have intimate knowledge of the law and usually are trying to do their best in the situation at hand. People need to understand that their personal suspicion doesn't constitute a crime nor does it justify a call to police. They could've easily busted out their phones and educated themselves on the law instead of thinking the cops are their private security. They weren't in any danger. Even after learning they were wrong they still asked "well what can we do about him?"
You can leave him the fck alone and continue running your business or take his advice and build a brick wall🤣
@@ray6240 yep. Your logic is to ignore the suspicious guy and hope he doesn't make a mess of everything. Solid thinking there champ. Let's change the scenario a bit. What if the guy was at a public park. Which he has every right to be in. And he's just taking pictures. Of everyone there. EVERYONE. You still gonna PrOTeCt HIs RIGHts then too ? Because legally, he can also do the same. You're kind of the reason that bombers and shooters tend to get a free pass to cause mass destruction. You're so obsessed with protecting the letter of the law thar you throw basic logic and instinct out the window at the cost of everyone's safety.
They had a concern. They called a cop. The cop cleared it up. It's simple as that. If I'm working with a highly flammable or dangerous material I'll call the cops every single time some stranger comes up and starts filming me doing it from the middle of the street lmao
Like I mentioned before,, this only works out because we know he's harmless. If the guy actually surveyed the area like this for weeks before planting bombs and blowing the facility up, you'd be complaining why was he never looked into as a suspect since he was seen filming the area for days or weeks prior.
@@lowkeylokii4205 lol nice assumption. No I wouldnt be complaining. I don't believe in suspending peoples rights for the comfort of others. I've had my pic taken in a park by auditors. It's their right because I'm in a public place. You're the one with the ass backwards logic. There's over 300 million people in the country and less than 1% are violent criminals. If your fear is that someones going to bomb you because you saw them filming you then you have some real issues and id advise that you seek therapy. The chances of it happening are preety darn slim. Your comfort does not supercede a person's rights and your argument reeks of "guilty til proven innocent"
Like you said, they're free to call the cops and it got cleared up. Your original point is still non sense. The cops aren't there because of the photographer, the cops are there because of the CALLER. He wasn't doing anything illegal and he could've continued filming if he wanted after the cop left just like she said he could. Even if he WAS planning to plant a bomb; please explain what transpired in the interaction that wouldve prevented it since the police said he still had the right to film? You still don't know that he's harmless. Please explain. What did calling the cops accomplish besides wasting everyone's time? And just to be clear, I'm NOT saying don't call the cops. I'm saying that they are there because of the caller and not because a person is exercising their rights while conducting a fully legal activity, so do your best not to center your argument around that 🤙🏾
An officer that knows the Constitution and seemingly honors her oath. How refreshing. Also nice mic-drop moment here by DJ Gear. Well done, sir.
...DJ gets an A meaning Ahole... loitering around a sensitive area, especially for the explicit purpose of creating a controversy over public vs private property access is exceeding stupid from the get-go... nice work nimrods....
She doesn't know the law though. What he is doing is illegal since he is doing it for commercial purposes.
@@Dead_Goat Huh? Show me the law you are referring to.
As a Security Officer at an oil refinery back in the 90's, we had a similar incident. The refinery had all these signs posted saying that video and photography were not allowed. Well I was dispatched to address the matter with someone outside the property taking pictures.
I basically just went out and asked him what he was doing and who he was. He explained that he was a former employee and was suing the oil company for unsafe working conditions. (Though I have to add he was under no obligation to tell me anything)... And that was it.
I was well aware that there was nothing we could do and that the guy wasn't breaking the law. I went back and explained that to the oil company managers and I was fired.
Fast forward 30 years and the oil refinery closed down and I'm the Operations Manager for a Security Company... I still stand by my actions to this day, and try to school all my officers to think before acting blindly. If they act in good faith, I will always back them.
They fired you? What was their list of reasons?
@@Ammut6 The security industry doesn't work like that. They won't give you a reason. They'll just swap you out for someone else and transfer you to another post.
Large companies dont care about peoples rights, they care about their bottom line, and results. If they have determined that people taking pictures are bad for their bottom line, they expect their employees to fight to the death to prevent pictures lol.
Well done Parker we need more like you. One love from Brisbane Australia 🇦🇺
I will say with all the bad cops seen on this channel, it is nice to see some good ones now and again.
A vast majority of cops are actually nice people. They are people just as you and I. Some of them get a little power hungry and dont care about the law, but as I have seen, that is the minority.
Oh but she bad af ❤🔥
Agreed
@@TheGamalore yea, I'd really like seeing the good cops more, the crap cops are stealing the good cops show, kind of gets depressing...
The officer was still a tyrant. The first thing she said to the callers is "if he goes into your property then you let us know" and ofcourse before she left she had to bark unnecessary directives "just do me a favor don't you go behind the fence"
Whomever lives in that town, I sure hope they realize what a wonderful, very respectful, professionable, public servant HERO she is!!! Awesome video

Whoever*.
(I am not trying to be a dick, I just figure using whom incorrectly gives the opposite impression you might have been looking for. So to help you out for future reference, an easy way to remember which you should use is to replace who/whom with he/him, or they/them if you prefer to work out whether you should use who or whom. For example in your case it would be "He/they live(s) in that town" rather than "Him/them live(s) in that town" so you would use "whoever". It is quite easy to remember too since "him" and "them" both end with "m" just like whom. Another example would be "Whom am i speaking to? Im speaking with HIM, etc. hope that helps! ;)
Its not that serious
@@frogbear02 the more you know :) thanks
She is a hero for not being a tyrant? God a worm couldnt squeeze under the low bar you set mate.
