A man from Gresham, Oregon was recently arrested, fined $5000 and claims he was assaulted multiple times for filming a militarized police action. These cops were dressed not like police but like military clothing and driving tank-like trucks.
Do these look like cops to you?

This man was in the wrong. If he had to film this ops he could have done so from a window. He could have caused a cop to lose his life by drawing his attention away from the job taking place…one other thing, the cops had walked away from him but his mealy mouth made him a danger. Just because he didn’t get hurt doesn’t mean he could have…or caused great danger. He had no idea what was going down. Whatever his reasons for acting like an idiot they weren’t good. Guess he’s trying for his 15. As the video shows, the cops were nice. Guess he was hoping for another reaction. Dumb jerk…
You need to get up to date on your current events. The Supreme Court already ruled that police officers can be recorded as long as they are not prevented from performing their duties. The man was on his property, the police was on the other side of the street and decided to approach him without probable cause and actually trespassed on his property. How do you figure that he was posing a danger to the police? Have you heard of the First Amendment? Those who act like sheep will be eaten by wolves! Educate yourself!
Filming cops is our right. They work for us. They are our public servants.
Opps … they were only going to serve papers to that specific house. The server here in my city doesn’t even carry a gun. I guess times are really getting tough … swat to serve papers … WOW! Or, in truth, it is just another case of stupid is as stupid does. Now you have been served. You Know It!
Film cops all day everyday…especially if you’re in your own yard.
I like the idea of the cameras built right into police uniforms. I think it will keep things more professional.
THE BO NAZI GESTAPO at work !!

So according to Katty England Bomar we have every right to film police as long as we have a window to film from behind?
The filming of a military response to anything in your neighborhood leading to your arrest is fascism, pure and simple.
