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. If you're not going to contribute with anything, I get the strong feeling I'm speaking for a lot of people when I ask you to please shut up and think before you speak, because you're wasting our time. I'm not going to respond to you again.
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".
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 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
@@Pontus95 exactly... the auditor should get an F for that really, as well as all these comments. If you wanna get the whole guy in the shot from up close it needs to be portrait mode and why tf would they need so much the background. I swear ppl are getting dumber
@@Ohmed_88 right? She is super pretty. I had a couple little cuties who worked for me during my time as a cop. I am retired now. One had a crush on me, but I was married so I had to be a good boy. LoL I didn't think about it when we were doing a training scenario on a day of training. I grabbed her and pretended to use her as a hostage, after the guys and gals who knew about her little crush were like "so Bri, how did you like the Sgt holding you close like thar?". I was like, oh shit, I forgot LoL. Good times.
@@james_halpert doubtful considering I am a pro photographer now. That was my side hobby while working as as cop so yeah. I have always been on the side of photographers.
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. The people are the press, if it's public then it's public, if it's legal then it's legal, full stop, nobody should have preferential treatment. 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.
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 ♥
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.
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.
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
YEAH THIS IS GREAT, YOU PPL LOVE THIS BUT COMPLAIN THAT THE FBI DIDNT LOOK INTO THE BEHAVIOUR OF THE 9/11 HIGHJACKERS???? HONESTLY DO YOU WANT A WIERDO FILMING HIGH RISK iNFOSTRUCTURE???? THE ONLY PURPOSE THIS SERVERS IS 4 LAZY PPL TO MAKE LAWSUIT MONEY,! LAZY nS GONNA LAZY n AROUND I GUESS, WAY TO MAKE YOUR PPL PROUD LOL.
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.
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.
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.
@@subtleusername5475 it was too late, he had already started videoing, and the only thing worse than vertical video is sideways video filmed while in vertical mode
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.

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
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.
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.
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.
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)
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.
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.
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.

There's definitely something off about people who go around recording like this. Like they have bad lives and the only feeling of power they can get is through baiting out people with legal technicalities.
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.
@@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?
That was such an exemplary interaction, this ended on a positive note. I'm sure the workers still thought he was a condescending prick because of his demeanor, but he was still very polite. Edit: idk if he was being a bit condescending on purpose, he most likely wasn't. Might be poor social skills. I used to be like that (still am sometimes but I'm working on it).
I don't think the auditor was a condescending prick at all. He was very polite, friendly, and willing to talk to everyone. The workers were unfriendly and confrontational.
They did their job. They needed to confront someone doing something suspicious to them, called the authorities, stayed civil in their engagement and thankfully had a level-headed responding officer that I wish in most of these ATA vids. The auditor obviously has a flair for the dramatic by describing the employees doing their job as "completely freaking out". No, that wasn't completely freaking out, that was just doing their jobs. Even though he had the right to be there and record, he had no real reason except to illicit a bad response. He is basically like a secret shopper testing the system. They passed, and the officer passed with flying colors.
@@moustik76700 I think you're being too critical of the auditor. I've seen lots of videos in which auditors are rude, insulting, and confrontational. This auditor was polite and likable. I liked his energetic voice and Southern accent.
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.
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.
I completely agree that our cameraman did nothing wrong legally, and that filming public employees on public property to see what they are doing is an important civil right . But…when you watch the video, it’s like he’s walking up to somebody and saying, “hey man, I am just here to say that I DEFINITELY don’t want to pick a fight with you. And I know that you think I want to, but I am well within my rights to stand here and tell you that I TOTALLY don’t wanna fight you.” My personal opinion is that he went there to try and get a viral video on social justice because he saw something he thought was sketchy. Unfortunately for this guy, all he did was create mild suspicion, and then everybody handled themselves appropriately. TL;DR - if you’re doing nothing wrong, don’t feed the troll.
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
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! ;)
@@utubepunk Which team is that? .lmao , she can't do anything unless the company files a restriction order against him which won't be granted just bc he was recording ..
@@atmacm ., She's on team i got a new jeep 700 a mo , i got an apartment , probably 1,800 a mo , plus the phone , Gym membership , food , clothes etc... and she's not going to lose her job because of these recording BS ...cops that do lose their job for these nonsense are just childish...
That officer gets an A-. She just couldn't leave without giving this well informed auditor a directive "just don't go past this fence alright" 🙄 I also don't like the answer "I can't do anything." The correct answer is it's his/her 1st amendment right as a citizen of this country to record from public.
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.
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.
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.
Finally UA-cam feeds me with a positive police interaction. I was getting kinda depressed with how messed up the law and police are lately. Thank you deputy Parker. You made me believe that the system can be fixed.
I mean youtube is filled with LEO doing what they are legally supposed to while suspects act nuts. Lots of shitty cops too, but body cams seem to be holding many accountable.
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.
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.
Look I get it that everyone should have the right to public filming to some degree but there are exceptions. Maritime security acts inhibit photographs and filming of industrial complexes that are tied to waterways or transit commerce. This is to prevent a national security incident by terrorists. Actively antagonizing a company just for the sake of IG and/or UA-cam notoriety should also be illegal in my opinion.
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. 😡🤦🏼♂️🤨🤔
After 911, I was working for a port authority, and one of the security clearance concepts was for employees to be aware of random people taking phot and video of our facilities. This was for being aware of s potential planned incident against the facility. It was generic and just for being aware. “If you see something, say something” was the mantra. I feel like the employees correctly did their job (although not fully understanding the law) to assess the situation and make it known to law enforcement that the man was there. Everybody gets an A+ here for being mostly respectful.
The guy himself doesn't deserve the A. Sure, his actions were legal, but he was running his mouth and exaggerating/lying about the workers' actions in an effort to escalate the confrontation. I still give the channel credit for rightfully grading Deputy Parker higher than the guy. I give Parker credit for not taking his bait, and not doing the slightest thing (including asking him to shut up) to risk escalating things or violating his rights.
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.
I used to work for a gas company. We were required to call law enforcement when someone was filming our facility. Even if they were on public property. The reason is for security. Although most people don't have bad internet there's people who don't like gas and oil companies and would like to sabotage the facility. That's why the one worker said they were on high alert.
Easy fix. The company should put up a fence that can't be seen through, instead of a chain-link/cyclone fence Also, just a thought, but this guy was trying to be visible as part of his audit. If someone with bad intentions wanted to be sneaky about it, they could have easily gotten photos without anyone really knowing, so that argument doesn't make a lot of sense.
@@kevinmach730 like I said before most people don't have bad intentions. Most were curious and wanted sometimes even asked for tours of the facility. But you never know. And if you have bad intentions you are going to act like any normal person. It doesn't mean they will try to hide the camera. The facility was not on a main rd like this it was down a long private rd.
@@thewaterborotrashguy1002 I get what you're saying and also having at least some suspicion at times. I know guys like these looks like trolls to many, but having watched many of these audits, it's astonishing how many police don't know the basic constitutional rights, or worse, couldn't care less about upholding them. I used to kind of roll my eyes at these guys, but now I have come to appreciate what they do to some extent as long as they are not total dicks about it.
Correct, I don't work for a fancy goverment facility, but if we have people loitering around our place and filming it, we generally nearly always have gasoline thefts in the comming days (we store a bunch of fuel on the property). So yea, people filming these type of facilities, will always put them on high alert.
I agree that if something is not supposed to be seen, then you should cover it. A perfectly see-through fence near a public road has no reasonable expected privacy. I get why they are suspicious, but there's nothing they can do.
...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 was super friendly, even though I know she was slightly irritated with the situation and waste of her time altogether. Super friendly, Super professional, Super pretty too lol.
I'd even go as far to say she was irritated by DJ. From their perspective (cops and the guys here), the guy with the camera is maybe being unnecessarily confrontational or patronizing. The look on the cop's face when he says "hey come over here buddy", she seems to think "it's one of these guys". And everyone was uncomfortable when he said "They wasted resources when they could've asked me the same questions". And I'm not saying DJ was at fault, he was in his right, but he didn't make anyone happier there.

2) hold your phone horizontally for better images.

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.

@@kennethM For real? That's nauseating to think about!

@@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.

@@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.

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 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.
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.

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.

When she started talking to the guy her face said it all. She was probably thinking, “oh god not one of those”. But she handled it very well
Which guy
When you look that good, it is easy to be nice and it is infectious to others.
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.
The people are the press, if it's public then it's public, if it's legal then it's legal, full stop, nobody should have preferential treatment. 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.
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 ♥
You don't train bad officers, you fire and/or imprison them.
@@CeanStrauss Yes 👍🏻

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.
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.
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 precisely what people expect when it comes to community policing.

These frauditors are deliberate problem-seekers. The sign says do not film the damn place.
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.
Parker is a star. She listens- a problem we find too many officers, or just don’t do.
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.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.
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
@@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.

@@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.

@@JamesSmith-ln4fu huh?? What are you on bruh
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.
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

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.
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."
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)
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.
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.

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. 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. So yes, terrorist would do as scott stated. Also, the guy doing the intel is irrelevant. You should learn how valuable a photo and more so a vid can be even if its a 5 sec clip. Probing security and how they react is also valuable.

Edit: idk if he was being a bit condescending on purpose, he most likely wasn't. Might be poor social skills. I used to be like that (still am sometimes but I'm working on it).
Well, they started off the interaction as a confrontation. I would have been a condescending prick in that situation.
I don't think the auditor was a condescending prick at all. He was very polite, friendly, and willing to talk to everyone. The workers were unfriendly and confrontational.
@@jonstone9741 Saying "So now they're on the internet looking like fools" is definitely condescending. Snarky remarks were not necessary.
They did their job. They needed to confront someone doing something suspicious to them, called the authorities, stayed civil in their engagement and thankfully had a level-headed responding officer that I wish in most of these ATA vids.
The auditor obviously has a flair for the dramatic by describing the employees doing their job as "completely freaking out". No, that wasn't completely freaking out, that was just doing their jobs.
Even though he had the right to be there and record, he had no real reason except to illicit a bad response. He is basically like a secret shopper testing the system. They passed, and the officer passed with flying colors.

Show up by herself for a call of a person taking pictures? Man you must feel brave every time you go outside.
@@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.
@@Cannonfodder226 its not like she's responding in the middle of the woods. They wont want to go to jail or lose there cooperate jobs come the F on.
I completely agree that our cameraman did nothing wrong legally, and that filming public employees on public property to see what they are doing is an important civil right . But…when you watch the video, it’s like he’s walking up to somebody and saying, “hey man, I am just here to say that I DEFINITELY don’t want to pick a fight with you. And I know that you think I want to, but I am well within my rights to stand here and tell you that I TOTALLY don’t wanna fight you.” My personal opinion is that he went there to try and get a viral video on social justice because he saw something he thought was sketchy. Unfortunately for this guy, all he did was create mild suspicion, and then everybody handled themselves appropriately. TL;DR - if you’re doing nothing wrong, don’t feed the troll.
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.
I wish it was that simple
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

(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! ;)

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.
6:05 "Whether or not you can get it, that's between you and your camera." lol. This guys hilarious.
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.
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.
Finally UA-cam feeds me with a positive police interaction. I was getting kinda depressed with how messed up the law and police are lately. Thank you deputy Parker. You made me believe that the system can be fixed.
I mean youtube is filled with LEO doing what they are legally supposed to while suspects act nuts. Lots of shitty cops too, but body cams seem to be holding many accountable.
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.
honestly wild these guys wasted the cops time on this lul if something that easily filmable is so sensitive then don't have it out in the open lmao.
Why do they take photos? I’m legit curious as why someone would want to come film a private business besides wanting the cops called for content.
Why do some auditors suck so much.
@@PrinceD213 because they failed in life and have nothing else to do!
@@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.
The amount of research you put into this videos is astounding! Amazing job. Love these videos! I always learn so much!
yeah NO research. Thats NOT owned by the Odells , they are next door and that facility is government owned. NOT PRIVATE .
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 That'd be a good point if bad interactions were uncommon.
But they aren't.
It's progress.
@@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.
@@favoritesfavorites6451 Riiiiight...Just a few bad apples. Lick that boot.
Look I get it that everyone should have the right to public filming to some degree but there are exceptions. Maritime security acts inhibit photographs and filming of industrial complexes that are tied to waterways or transit commerce. This is to prevent a national security incident by terrorists. Actively antagonizing a company just for the sake of IG and/or UA-cam notoriety should also be illegal in my opinion.
Finally, the correct attitude of the officer. Bravo to this Lady, full respect and let others learn from her.
Aloha pigs
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. 😡🤦🏼♂️🤨🤔
officer Parker just melts my heart!!!!
After 911, I was working for a port authority, and one of the security clearance concepts was for employees to be aware of random people taking phot and video of our facilities. This was for being aware of s potential planned incident against the facility. It was generic and just for being aware. “If you see something, say something” was the mantra.
I feel like the employees correctly did their job (although not fully understanding the law) to assess the situation and make it known to law enforcement that the man was there.
Everybody gets an A+ here for being mostly respectful.
The guy himself doesn't deserve the A. Sure, his actions were legal, but he was running his mouth and exaggerating/lying about the workers' actions in an effort to escalate the confrontation.
I still give the channel credit for rightfully grading Deputy Parker higher than the guy. I give Parker credit for not taking his bait, and not doing the slightest thing (including asking him to shut up) to risk escalating things or violating his rights.
Right on Mate !!!!!
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.
I used to work for a gas company. We were required to call law enforcement when someone was filming our facility. Even if they were on public property. The reason is for security. Although most people don't have bad internet there's people who don't like gas and oil companies and would like to sabotage the facility. That's why the one worker said they were on high alert.
Easy fix. The company should put up a fence that can't be seen through, instead of a chain-link/cyclone fence Also, just a thought, but this guy was trying to be visible as part of his audit. If someone with bad intentions wanted to be sneaky about it, they could have easily gotten photos without anyone really knowing, so that argument doesn't make a lot of sense.
@@kevinmach730 like I said before most people don't have bad intentions. Most were curious and wanted sometimes even asked for tours of the facility. But you never know. And if you have bad intentions you are going to act like any normal person. It doesn't mean they will try to hide the camera. The facility was not on a main rd like this it was down a long private rd.
@@thewaterborotrashguy1002 I get what you're saying and also having at least some suspicion at times. I know guys like these looks like trolls to many, but having watched many of these audits, it's astonishing how many police don't know the basic constitutional rights, or worse, couldn't care less about upholding them. I used to kind of roll my eyes at these guys, but now I have come to appreciate what they do to some extent as long as they are not total dicks about it.
Correct, I don't work for a fancy goverment facility, but if we have people loitering around our place and filming it, we generally nearly always have gasoline thefts in the comming days (we store a bunch of fuel on the property). So yea, people filming these type of facilities, will always put them on high alert.
I agree that if something is not supposed to be seen, then you should cover it. A perfectly see-through fence near a public road has no reasonable expected privacy. I get why they are suspicious, but there's nothing they can do.
great job officer... respect, young lady
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.
I love it when we see good cops. It’s very refreshing. Nice job Deputy Parker. Your community is lucky to have you.
She was super friendly, even though I know she was slightly irritated with the situation and waste of her time altogether.
Super friendly, Super professional, Super pretty too lol.
I'd even go as far to say she was irritated by DJ. From their perspective (cops and the guys here), the guy with the camera is maybe being unnecessarily confrontational or patronizing. The look on the cop's face when he says "hey come over here buddy", she seems to think "it's one of these guys". And everyone was uncomfortable when he said "They wasted resources when they could've asked me the same questions". And I'm not saying DJ was at fault, he was in his right, but he didn't make anyone happier there.
She is very pretty.
ikr, totally cute.. and job well done too
@@omgtkseth Cops usually get annoyed when you know your rights so that makes sense.
@@thomascheckie2394 But why film in the first place? Just be annoying?
