NEVER, repeat NEVER argue with Law Enforcement! You will ALWAYS lose, even if the law is on your side! I know.
This is a stupid video, what was accomplished? Whatever a cop says IS the law at that point in time.
Do as I did once, not about drones, but the law was on my side!! That didn't keep me from spending a night and the next day in jail. I saw the judge, but he actually turned his back on me as I talked! Bottom line? The judge said: "Whatever you did, don't do it again."
But, I was innocent and I should have at least gotten an apology from someone. The cop's partner admitted his partner made a mistake. As I was drug handcuffed out of the bar, I asked what did I do? One guy said: You danced with his girlfriend!" I danced once, with her. Then, I joined 8 people at a table. I was SO pissed and I was sure that Internal Affairs would be on my side. Wrong.
The 'officer' walked from the far entrance into the bar. I hadn't noticed him before, but he was zeroed in on me! I was sitting with others, I was out of town on work and I left my company car keys in my motel room. Sure enough, he walked by everyone and told me: "It is time to leave!" The band jus rot said that was the end of their set, but the bar was open for two more hours.
I was very embarrassed and without thinking, I did the raspberry sound. Meveryone at the table laughed. Then, someone reached around from behind me and grabbed my shirt. This SOB just made a huge mistake as I had been body building for 10 years. I stood up, reached around and grabbed the poor *******'s shirt. I turned around and saw that it was the cop. I put my hands behind my back and 'allowed' him to handcuff me. I say allowed, because if he wasn't a cop, he would be going to the ER!
The singer in the bed, knew me as we had been working there for two weeks. I was slammed over the hood, for effect, I guess because he didn't search me. I was put in the backseat. I was in shock and my grandfather died a week before. I'm not ashamed to say that I was crying. The singer came out and asked what he could do. I asked him to contact my working partner in room ....
I didn't see him, but he told me, the next day, that he said to the cop: "I know him, he wouldn't have done anything wrong!!" The cop told him to shut up or he would go to jail too. There is more, but you have the Reader's Digest version.
I know nice cops and shitty ones. Do NOT ever challenge their authority (or what they think it is) nor should you qoute the law. You will lose. There was no record of this arrest, but I deserved an apology. I never got one.
Forgive me, but doing as was done, in the video, was just plain stupid...
