This is what pisses me off the most about the whole deal. How can they say that pulling a gun in a traffic stop right off the bat is appropriate?

Because they're cops dude, that's pretty much what they do. Cops think everything should be a shock and awe campaign.

I've always been respectful of the police. But, more and more, I'm thinking... FTP..

The camera was in use in full view. The cop willingly entered his video frame.

This will be tossed in nanoseconds, if it comes to trial.

Bogus charge, and the cop is a fucking amateur.

Fucking cops...fucking laws...both fucking suck.

This country is turning into nothing more than a legal shitpile of laws to try to control every aspect of our lives.

I hope this makes Fox News.....

If this story makes the major outlets, it will likely be an anecdote on the speeding \ dangerous behavior on those 200mph racebikes allowed to be sold to the public followed by the "there should be a law banning those things" segment

He is allowed to record himself. His intent was not to record the officer. He simply did not have time to turn the recording device off before the officer ID'd himself. So I don't believe this guy did anything wrong because there was no intent. I believe this will be thrown out of court.

Given that he's military, he'll definitely get some heat for this
