This is sad.
What do you think of the merits of reverse surveillance?

    Texas law enforcement can be just as corrupt. My nephew was walking in an open field in the early afternoon, wearing a pair of cut-offs and no shirt in Covington, TX when a squad car approached and told him to stop over the P.A. system. He stopped, turned to face the car and put his hands into the air. The police officer then exited his vehicle, drew his gun and shot him.
    
    Luckily, for my nephew, the guy was as incompetent of a marksman as he was a policemen and only hit him in one of his extended arms.

        My nephew received a settlement within the limits that the Republic of Texas places on claims against government institutions.

        That was great. Did you play their version of Ghost Riders in the Sky? It's really different. Sort of surf rock sound and feel.

        As long as the police think of "us" as "them," then there will be a double standard!

        I am sure that day will come -- but until it does, a LOT of otherwise innocent people will suffer / die.
        
        Remember, no law is good if the "right people" don't break it -- and when they DO break it, you can be dang sure the SS will be right there busting down their doors!
        
        The other thread about "have you committed a felony today" should be linked to this...

        the Cato Institute did a study in 2006 about police becoming more paramilitary in nature. They put together an interactive map that showed raids by police that were either botched or completely done in error, wounding or killing individuals. The occurrences were trending higher each year. They need to update the study I think

        There always has been and always will be a double standard for law enforcement. I have many friends in the profession who believe it is necessary in order for them to do their job.
        
        I say BS!

Arresting the reverse surveillers has a chilling effect. If 'they' don't have to be held accountable for your actions 'they' will take what ever actions 'they' choose.

  It is clearly a violation of 1st amendment rights. If you cannot film a police encounter taking place, then street cameras should not be allowed. It goes both ways. and now policeman wear cameras attached to their sunglasses. If they can, I can.

    Don't forget that they have tape recorders in their top pockets. I always say 1st thing "Is this being recorded". Then they know I know. I got them to correct a police report because he didn't write what I said and there was recorded evidence of the fact he was changing my statement.

        Actually I haven't had any problems since my brother finally got rid of his Lillian. She's a very pious catholic lay nun who lies, cheats, steals and commits SSI fraud. During the beginning of the end I had some 'issues' with the LEO's until I told the undersheriff that some of his deputies were guilty of misfeasance and under color of authority.

    About a year ago, a woman had her phone confiscated by police, because she filmed an arrest. There was such public outrage, they gave the phone back. And as a little slap to her, she was fined. That was rescinded.

"What do you think of the merits of reverse surveillance?"

I don't think that anyone here has actually answered this.

I see the merit, UNLESS it becomes intrusive with a law enforcement officer from doing his job.

  My 2-cents -- *IF* me making a video of a police officer doing his duty causes him to not feel like he can do his job "properly," then he needs to rethink what he is doing in the first place!
  
  Having law abiding citizens filming their arrest from across the street should NEVER be an issue for a HONEST police officer! For those who it IS an issue are not HONEST police officers!
  
  Pretty clear, to me, anyway.

  The courts have ruled it is within a person's rights to film LEOs, but most cities have a provision that they can be arrested if they impede the LEO doing his job. These are usually vague and have led to many people being harassed, arrested and their cameras/phones being confiscated.
  
  Austin, TX PD are very good at using their cities ordinance for arresting people filming from across the street as having impeded their duty.
  
  I have some links somewhere, but have to run at the moment, so I will post them later.

  I would agree, although I would say impedes instead of intrusive.
