after reading this you can watch the video and see what happens to those who the cops don't want to video them;
Trenton, NJ — Filming the police is entirely legal, in every state. However, all too often, we will see police officers overstep their authority and arrest, attack, and assault innocent people for the constitutionally protected act of documenting their behavior in public. As the following case out of Trenton, New Jersey illustrates, police officers will go to extreme and often violent lengths to make sure they are not being filmed, up to and including beating and falsely arresting a female bartender at her place of work.
In March 2019, the Championship Bar on Chambers Street was about to close for the night when bartender Elizabeth Cisco heard a commotion outside. When she went outside, she found multiple police officers roughly arresting a single non-violent person. So, she started filming.
In the land of the free, there are ostensible checks and balances which are in place to prevent corrupt and power drunk government officials from overstepping their authority and depriving people of their rights. The largest ostensible restraint on this power is the constitution. However, as TFTP has reported for years, despite the fact that police swear an oath to uphold this constitution, they are all too often the ones who ignore it and the cops in the video below are perfect examples of this.
As Cisco began filming, she was mostly silent. However, as police dragged the man away, she began to politely ask questions like, why is he being arrested?
“I don’t know, I wasn’t here dummy,” one officer rudely responds to Cisco’s police question.
“[He was] talking sh*t to the cops,” another officer responded.
“Talking sh*t to the cops?” Cisco asked. “There are seven cops out here to arrest one person for talking sh*t to the cops?”..........read and watch more......
