Imagine concocting this scheme instead of, idk, not being a complete shit human being. Good job cops. Good job.

You have to be human first. They don't qualify.

This is the dumbest post

Whats wrong with it?

It would be very ironic of you to support copyright law, as draconian as it is and considering how much of it is from corporate lobbying.

Its great that the only response you and your friend have is to personally insult me.

Trying to defame me as well. I dont deny the Holocaust at all.

Although now I realize you didnt quote me cuz youre trying to bait me, so Ill just leave it at the cops did something wrong and your post is blatantly stupid

If you post it again I would gladly quote the post and say the same thing that I did. But you did the right thing by deleting it.

To stay on topic, you still havent said whats stupid about the post. Just insults and attacks to my character.

You saying they didnt technically do anything wrong is akin to putting your finger a centimeter from someones face and saying Im not touching you!

We're not talking about copyright laws, were talking about cops attempting to pull a scummy maneuver to avoid having to be honest while they're on cam.

Nice try tho.

Pretty smart move. I would consider using Nintendo music because I know that has gotten some high profile streamers suspended until they removed it. Imagine a full shift of Mario music.

I also said pointing out a BS situation with the copyright law/takedowns was not their intention. Because it clearly isnt. But they are still doing it.

A lot of people ITT are ignoring that videos from citizens of patrolling cops should not be taken down in the first place, especially if the reason is copyrighted music.

Bro your shitty argument isnt fooling anyone

Again, what is shitty about it?

I really dont understand why youre being so hostile, because I dont think we even disagree about this ?

Yes, its scummy for police officers to find a workaround so videos of them patrolling are removed. But that workaround shouldnt even exist.

Hmmmm.

Maybe live stream some boxing match while arresting.

The important thing to remember is that the guy went inside the cops workplace to mess with him and live stream him. The cop didnt pull him over or approach him at a protest. How would you feel if a political activist with a bunch of followers came into your workplace (over an issue that you were not involved in) and started live streaming everything you said and did? You would be pissed off and you would want him/her to stop.

If the cops pull you over, then turn the cams on. Everyone has heard horror stories and you are protecting your rights. Going into their workplace is where I draw the line. If its in public then you should have every right to film it, but youre a kind of dick if you go looking for them to try this.

If you guys admonished Dawkins Number for doing the exact same thing, then why is it okay for a political activist to do it?

America needs like UN intervention or some shit to deal with our cops

The public shouldnt be allowed in police stations or be allowed to question police conduct? Perhaps youre suggesting he go through a more formal channel?

Thats totally not what I said. Where did I say that people shouldnt be allowed in the police station? Where did I say that people shouldnt be allowed to question police conduct? I didnt even say that it should be specifically illegal to film them in the police station. I said that youre a dick if you do it.

Its almost like you meant to respond to a different post.

This is so unbelievably petty it's almost hilarious.

It'd be crazy if it actually works.

Or we could abolish the unions that put these animals back on the streets. But unfortunately we're not big on accountability here in the US.

That's only true for people in positions of power and authority.

But if some random schmuck puts his toe out of line just once, their life is pretty much over.

There we go. We're done.

You wanna tall about copyright laws, make your own topic; thats not what this one is for.

ngl, it's pretty clever, if it ends up working for them.

Evil, not clever.

I think and sorry for being a smartass, but i think you just put your finger over the mic hole and wait until the music by itself is not playing.

Moment the cop starts to speak or there is some interaction with someone else, uncover the mic.
