I recorded the police interegating me last night. But this board wont' let me post the link, which is unfair.
How can we share information without links?

Go to VIMEO, the video sharing service, and search for SAN RAMON POLICE and watch the video.

I was recording 2 police officers in the neighborhood. It's usually very quiet and no police around, but this particular night the police were investigating to a group of people in a parking lot. It just seemed very unusual, and I was curious.

It is not illegal to film police. However the police got upset because I was recording them, and demanded my id, and phone number saying that they might have to contact me later. One said it was kind of weird to be recording them, and they both acted like I was doing something wrong. They kept asking personal questions and they got very creepy. I was scared during their interrogation, but tried to hide it. (I edit out my phone number and address, so there are those short skips in the video.)

They said I could be cited for loitering, and I asked how I could be loitering in my own neighborhood. They wouldn't answer that question.

They had no clue the camera was on during the time they detained me for questioning, so I was able to record their interrogation of me. They even say in the film that it's not a good thing for me to be recording what they say.

==============
It only says "to be continued" because it just seemed like a good way to end it, with music and "to be continued". it was a editing choice for style, like how a tv show might end. although there really isn't a continuation in the works.

Why would you videotape the police? Just because it is legal doesn't mean it doesn't looks highly unusual, it's pretty much asking for you to be questioned especially during the nighttime.

They seemed quite friendly if you ask me, and they're always suspicious like that, its their job really.

There's a standard waiting period before you can post links on WP as a new member. I think it's to weed out spammers.

---Ha Ha that's so COOL! :cool: I don't believe I can see it because I'm using my BB and not a computer.
-------------------------------------------------------------
---I recorded a couple of cops who arrested me for defending myself and they unarrested me when I told them I recorded the assault and them arresting me before they would even listen to what I had to say. I hid my voice activated micro recorder in one of my empty cigarette packs and stuck it in my top pocket. They couldn't get away from me fast enough. :mrgreen: I have yet to be arrested, charged and thrown into a jail cell. :shrug:
-------------------------------------------------------------
---Of course they don't want to be recorded because they don't want to be caught in the act of abusing their authority which "some" of them do every chance they get. And NO it isn't unusual to video/record cops these days.

I think this is true. Of course there are good cops and bad, yet the bad seem to have little to no accountability, largely because of things like this. (Even then, if the Robert Dziekanski case is any indication, they get off pretty light.) The police in GotACam's video seem to me to have a quiet determination to punish him for breaking their (let's say) code of silence.

Maybe they just found him suspicious as they said, but the bit about loitering after that long string of personal questions suggests more than that. The cops' refusal to answer GotACam's last question doesn't inspire confidence.

Good question. The description below the video attaches some importance to the police's questioning an autistic about his medical history, etc. I suppose GotACam might have elaborated on that in this thread.
