Cops want to ban cop watching. Here’s how we fight back w/The Battousai & James Freeman | PAR

A recent article in The Washington Post highlighting the growth of cop watcher YouTube channels provided a rare mainstream spotlight on a movement that’s developed entirely outside of elite institutions. But for all The Washington Post got right, a lot was missed as well. Police Accountability Report sits down with popular YouTube cop watchers The Battousai and James Freeman to discuss the state of cop watching today and how the police are trying to make the practice illegal.

  1. lots of people think if cops say you need sign fails statements then do soo> or you go jail to!! for interfering with arrest> And there again my attorney no care to rebuttal!! I report him To State BAR> they send me letter they no enforce law on bad attorneys!! I kid you not!!!!!!

  2. Need more cope watching> i seen how they break law around hear to> that why I no rent to females since 2009. I charged DV on renter that behind 8 months rent>my attorney no care and judge no care about reality! I no touch her>cops got statements from people that wasn't never there>there again my attorney ((Tye Mensore)) no care and judge ((Siieven Brown )no care>list of people not caring goes on!! Hence why I no rent to females since then! because of attorneys and law judges. They no differed now then back then!!! Washington State Grays Harbor county. they brack State and Fed law> the ends justify the means to them!!!!!!!

  3. Is there any specific State(s) or Federal legislation to limit, restructure or eliminating unqualified immunity we can all get behind?

  4. The shy and the corrupt are usually the ones that don't like cameras. Think that many cops feel that being recorded limits their ability to do "good" police work. It is hard to cover up violating rights or abusing someone in hand cuffs when a camera is running

  5. Just say the word homeless it's OK. Use your free speech. It is hypocritical to support free speech auditors while using commie soft language in your reporting.

  6. there is no such thing as cop watching so how can they ban it ? .. there is public photography, is that what they want to ban ? that would be impossible, and certainly would not be possible to enforce. are they trying to ban people actually looking at or watching police ? again not possible .. though in my opinion police should not seen or heard until needed. so what exactly are they wanting to ban ? are they wanting to prohibit posting videos of police crimes ? videos of police ineptitude ? i can see why they would want that, they would have to alter the amendments so that people will no longer be able to address there concerns in a public forum .. were not against police, were against bad police. don't commit crime and violations Mr officer and we will have nothing but good videos about you to watch ..

  7. Qualified immunity ain’t even close to constitutionally legal, nobody in the government is above the law, the constitution, or we the peon citizens. ACAB 1312

  8. I have a dumb question, why do pigs care if they’re being recorded if they’re abiding by the law and the constitution, if they’re not up to any criminal activity, then no harm no foul. ACAB 1312

  9. Our constitutional republic would survive if we got rid of cops not following the constitution. Our republic is not surviving cops .

  10. A very good show and cop watchers keep up the good work. There has to be police Accountability, the one we saw not long ago where an illegal raid with SWAT took place took place in their home the woman had her back hurt. I loved what the cop watcher said I don't want to take money if you lock them up, I will forgo the money if you lock up the bad cops.
    Police wearing bodycam I give them one choice wear them or get another job. You turn them on when your shift starts turn them off at the end of your shift, turn them off at any other time you will be in for reprimand maybe fired. Qualified immunity also has to go no one is above the law.

  11. Cop watchers and auditors need to band together to support each other. Not just emotional but financially., in the same way that gun owners have. It wasn't long ago the general public couldn't carry a concealed handgun. It's only because of the clout of the multitude our rights are starting to come back.

  12. I been to court a bunch of times and it strictly prohibits cell phones, food and candy. I kept popping a candy in my mouth every once in awhile and I noticed the judge doing the same in the middle of court. She was a pretty good judge, but I have had another judge get irritated with me doing it and I lost the case probably because of it. Judges are people and sometimes people are weird.

  13. Cops are ok with having on board camera crew and editing to paint them in good light but citizens watching from a distance and catching rights violations is a problem for them. Public awareness of everyday misconduct is so called making their job harder which highlights their own admission of misconduct and blatant rights violations. Departments making the policy of muting, turning off BWC, deleting/editing is ridiculous and is evidence tampering. Federal law needs passed to take control of officer BWC/dashcams, no more Fox running the hen house. Funding should be diverted from the militarization of police forces to higher pay for mandatory college educated and trained in the law first, then academies on how to protect themselves. Small towns with populations of less then 2000 do not need police forces of 10-20 officers, this promotes the revenue generation function of policing and not serving their communities. These small departments are a huge problem in America, frequently hire officers with a history of misconduct at other departments but resigned before investigation completed and avoids termination. Then those departments do not complete investigations and do not report issues to certification boards. All this contributes to higher taxes from settlements that the taxpayers fund. #endqualifiedimmunity

  14. I hope you know that the police, the prosecutors, public defenders, tow companies and the judges are on one side and you are on the other, and you are standing there poking the bear! One day you will bite into something that you cannot spit out or swallow, then you will find yourself unable to get out of that trouble. Ron W4BIN
