For Once, Here's a Video of a Cop in Action Doing Everything Right
This policeman could teach law enforcers a lesson in how to behave when a bystander is filming.
American police officers do not like being filmed on the job. To get a sense of just how pervasive this sentiment is, you can (and should) spend a few minutes on Photography Is Not a Crime, a blog run by photographer Carlos Miller.
Over the last several years, Miller has documented numerous cases of American cops overreacting to being filmed. They've arrested people. They've beaten them up. They've illegally confiscated cameras and made bogus charges. Following these rules while filming the police can reduce your chances of getting roughed up. But ultimately, some cops are going to take offense regardless of how polite you are. Canadian cops aren't a whole lot different.
