El Segundo police are more than happy to illegally detain and harass innocent American citizens who are just exercising constitutional rights. They do this for their corporate masters like Chevron.

How did you end up giving up your id and answering all of his questions as to where you lived, did you drive from LA just to take pictures, what other places you had taken pictures of? What ever happened to "I don't answer questions"? Is it really a 1st amendment audit if you cave as soon as you are confronted?
Never, ever, ever answer any questions by cops, do not engage. they try to act like your buddy, but I assure they are not good guys.
The only thing we need to fear, is fear itself.
Taking pictures of the refinery has always been a BIG NO NO. This is because of industrial sabotage, I'm sure now it's terrorism. It has always been known that you don't just walk up and start taking pictures and yes the ESPD have been charged with handling these incidents since the City of El Segundo would not be there but for the refinery. The name El Segundo is also the name of the refinery. Meaning the second in spanish for those who don't know. It was the second refinery for Chevron.
Cops won in this video.
The dispatcher should have told the caller to eff off. The end.
How polite they can be when you comply
If your gonna exercise your rights, do so
Dale you talk out of your ass. What about the third photographer on the grassy knoll.
Seems Cheng really tries to work that" I'm your friend" scheme.
Yak Yak Yak.
STFU!! You talk too damn much.
Great video, Salmon.
Officer Cheng tries to act cool while interrogating a citizen for photography. Do not talk to cops, they are not your friend. Everything you say or do can and will be twisted against you in a court of law. A fish only gets caught when it opens its mouth.
Do you work or do you just bug law enforcement?
