This whole situation has me angry. First off, I am unhappy by the manner in which he was pulled over. A plain clothes cop in his personal vehicle. :rant: Not cool. That could have just as easily been some psychopath wanting some vigilante justice against the biker. Never safe to pull over for a "normal" vehicle.
Second, why the hell was his sidearm drawn?? Did he ever present any identification to the biker before grabbing his windshield? I wouldn't believe a man that just jumped out of a car in a hoodie with a gun drawn to be an officer just because he said so.
Third, does every officer in that state ask you for permission to be recorded when they pull you over? :surrender: I have never been asked permission to be recorded, but I know that a dash cam is sure as hell running.
Fourth, so if a person is out riding, capturing the fun on cam and someone next to them says. "Hey, nice bike!" Do you then have to ask their permission for it to be recorded?
This whole situation is a giant cluster f*ck. I feel for the guy.
Why are agents of government, armed and authorized to enforce the rule of law, protected by this secret recording law? I cannot see that there is benefit in doing so. I cannot see where government is entitled to protection from its citizens.
What an asshole!!!! Guy is riding his bike, granted yes speeding and popping wheelies, but rides past the cop at 80mph, gets followed off the exit, then a plane clothes cop cuts him off in an unmarked car, draws his gun and tells him to put his hands up......
But check out how he tucks the gun away when he notices the dude has a camera mounted on his helmet.
The police searched his house and seized computers and the dude spent 26 hours in jail and faces the wiretapping charges that could conceivably put him away for 16 years.
Not that I would ever run...but this is a perfect reason to do it. Cops can basically do anything they want and get away with it.
Video No sound until the end when the cop cuts him off and pulls the gun
