if you see something, film it.

Yep, cops who are looking for a reason to beat the hell out of someone instead of just macing the crap out of them or tasering them, handcuffing them, then standing back.

And yet, finishnailer, there is it ... I'm taking a new tact with these types of threads, as I believe the discussion is pertinent, however one-sided it might be right now ... Comments like these will, henceforth, get you banned ... Threads will remain open as long as there is intelligent, pertinent discussion going on ... At the time they turn into mud-slinging they are gone ...

I still want to hear some justification for seizing the phone. I've been told it was legal, but so is seizing cash without a charge or conviction.

I have no idea what transpired in the moments before this guy expired, so I can't really give an educated opinion about that, but the phone thing sure looks bad.

Somebody posted an answer to that question in the other thread. Subsonic, I think. Falls along the same lines as securing a crime scene, IIRC ... but I don't know the specific legalese that allows seizure any more ... been too long ... sorry ...

According to News9's report last night, it's done as evidence preservation. They seize the phone, turn it off, wrap it in 'loomnum foil, and secure it in the evidence locker so nobody can tamper with it before experts (I would presume that they mean court-certified experts) can pull the video.

Whether that whole series of events actually happens or not, I don't know, but that's the way the reporter explained it.

Well, I suppose they say it must not be tampered with as evidence, yet security camera footage is routinely used as evidence, even if the footage has been in the possesion of someone other than **the nice police officers**. Standard protocol? Maybe so, but it still reeks.

We've had hundreds of pages on this subject and it always results in cop bashing and very little intelligent conversation...and most of us are tired of it, hence the lack of a response.

The terrorists won. Look at what we’ve done to ourselves.

Sorry, but one has to only watch the movie to come to that conclusion, and I took the time to watch the entire clip.

Perhaps someone can explain why several cops pile on top of a person who is in cuffs and beat him senseless, or pile on top of a person thrown from a vehicle and possibly already unconscience?

We should always be willing to question the acts of the NSA, the ATF, Law Enforcement, etc.

If this film was covering the ATF kicking in the doors of legal gun owners, I doubt few people here would be siding with the ATF.

By the way, I have a spotless police record.
