Cops stopped him from filming a traffic stop, but changed their tune when they went to court

1. you all keep saying end qualified immunity, that's like asking firefighters to not wear protection. if society wants a bunch of cops waging war against drug users, they need qualified immunity. you can't cause a soft genocide against a miniority group and have accountability. the two are mutually exclusive. if you want to end qualified immunity, you must end the war.

2. Is the license plate law actually about obscuring "information"? If every state has unique plates, how can you argue that 'information" has been obscured when even an illeterate person can identify a state's plate from the art?

3. Ya but these people try to get in there way they are trying to keep the community safe and the recording the police isn't the problem getting to close when they are trying to do there job and they get to close witch is a problem because now they have to be

4. The police like to waste time doing nothing, they get paid a lot of money for doing nothing. That’s why they like to hang up the citizens. It also makes them feel powerful they need to feed their ego that’s one of the reasons they became a police officer in the first place. Power corrupts and it’s very easy for police officers to become corrupt with their power. Of course not all are so easily inclined. Some are just wonderful, just not enough.

5. the constitution will be obsolete soon for they have already written a new one, they just havent implemented it yet.

6. "yes, your rights were violated, but there's never been a case where a person's rights have been violated in this way, so instead of diliberating an d creating more case law, I'm going to dismiss that charges everyone can see with a brain are legitimate, but because they haven't messed up in this specific way before I'm not going to change anything so it won't get better"… don't they see a fundamental problem with determining this based off of previous cases. Your are always dealing with new territory, requiring that ground be broken before is a built in handicap to bettering the system. It is ridiculous anyone could read that and support it. Are you serious? They have to violate your rights in the exact same way to be liable for it, well geez MR, I wonder if they just won't do it in a way that's been documented yet (they really don't understand how creative people are when they want to be)

7. "We didn't know, we weren't acting in bad faith, etc" doesn't matter. You violated their rights. period. doesn't matter if you thought it was ok, what kind of defense is that? In good faith, in bad faith, you overstepped your bound and overreached the powers of your station. And yet they face no repercussions for the grievous acts against their fellow humans. Yes, trampling their rights in any way is grivous, once again, it doesn't matter if you thought it was ok or not. The courts hold that ignorance of the law is not an excuse for private citizens and yet those who enforce the law are given immunity when they are ignorant of it. Laws specify rights that are inherent to every person. So even if their were laws that went against the rights of the citizens, it would be the police's duty NOT to enforce that unjust law. Imagine how much farther ahead we'd be if the police didn't enfore jim crow laws. If they were actually willing to stand up for whats right.

8. "we have qualified immunity because it hasn't been explicitly stated that its a right" doesn't that bring into question a bigger problem of how these cases which are obvious rights violations are thrown out because of no legal precedent having been established already instead of themselves acting as the impetus for those precedents. How ridiculous to require a previous violation be referenced to argue yours have been violate now. And what of the new and creative ways those in power always seem to find ways of abusing others. Must you have every horrible thing happen before you nip it in the bud. This entire problem stems from the simple fact that they hold officials to a lower standards instead of a higher one. They should feel the full effects of their blunders, not be shielded from the consequences of their actions.

9. so his defense for "i didn't know it was his right to record cops" is "i didn't know attempted vehicular manslaughter was bad either" … this person is a police officer and this is the standard of knowledge they are held to?

10. "You can infringe rights if they aren't clearly established" what a ridiculous legal precedent. Quilified immunity is outrageous. If a police officer doesn't KNOW, then they shouldn't be enforcing it. You are dealing with peoples freedoms and rights, "oops, i thought I was right" isn't an excuse. They need to face legal repercussions for continuously being wrong in their enforcement of law. The fact that they get a cushion when they mess up instead of harsher punishment shows you explicitly the system is not designed to police itself. If that were the case, they would take these simple and obvious measures to prevent the continuing human rights violation that is qualified immunity. It shields them from the most destructive and most likely form of damage to occur. (it's likely, that's why they need qualified immunity? no. It's more likely so they need more training and harsher penalties when they misrepresent the law or "enforce laws" that don't exist). How is "I thought it was legal" not a defense but "I thought it was illegal" a complete defense for trampling people's rights.

11. Appeal to higher courts on freedom of speech. The Judge needs reporting to the judicial panel.

12. Delete lawz bragged a lot about your channel,,,

13. Lawyering is the exact opposite of science.

14. I love this channel. You are an awesome journalist. I dont trust the mainstream media anymore. There's so much news that they don't cover and God knows what's really going on behind the scenes.

15. 15:03 you know I really wish I could tell him you might want to get out of the country and go to Canada because this is just straight up dystopian and fascist

16. You know I wish more people would just run over cops maybe if that happened to them a lot they would think twice before doing that to others just remember ACAB FOREVER and ALWAYS

17. The Supreme Court ruled back in 1970 that cussing out a cop is free speech. But I've noticed that people are getting arrested all over America for speaking words. OMG. If the Supreme Court does not rule that you have free speech in this country there will be another Civil War. When people are silenced for their opinions it's time to revolt. I'm a 71-year old retired vet and I defended our freedom. I would rather die than be dominated. Remember "Masada." We refuse to be live under tyranny. The idea that there has to be an identical case IN THAT DISTRICT is ridiculous. If the Constitution is broken there doesn't have to be an identical case. Every single law in the United States has to conform to the Constitution.

18. Hoss jail sentence is an obscene injustice e, disgraceful

19. ignorance of the law is not a viable excuse,,its in law books

20. so americas constitution only applies to certain people,, i dont think thats in the fine print

21. Thank you for this channel. the reason that law enforcement continues to behave in the manner that we can all see is because of the (Fraternal Order of Police Union) throughout the United States. if the Union got audited it would expose everyone who's receiving benefits. famous line from a movie (Show me the money)

22. 👑👑

23. did you see the sick smile the cop had on his face?

24. all of this is not by accident nor by mistake… the 'law' is to be obeyed by the masses, not those who author, adjudicate or enforce it…

25. ANY judge that would say that one insult is OK
    but three is worth prison is a … wait … pussycat

26. I really enjoy your video's and I have learned a lot from watching them. the only thing that bothers me is the constant "swipes" It may just be me but they make my eyes hurt. How about throwing in a dissolve or a pixel swap between cuts? Thanks for making these video's

27. You guys are so big and you still don't give credit to those doing the work on the street by providing a link to the original video. Do you think this is OK?

28. End all qualified immunity. That guaranteed would fix the problem!!!

29. If a citizen did that to an officer the citizen would have been excited.

30. Why the weird swipe cuts when not changing scenes?

31. After each ceremony to swear in new officers, there MUST be, these same officers, attending a classroom two hours later, for a test of knowledge, facts and process of the constitution and civil rights. Anyone who FAILS the test will be voided from any process for SIX months or beyond, until the next event scheduled for swearing in new officers. They should be unable to drive to another County, City or Town, the next week to apply anywhere until the SIX months minimum waiting period.

32. Just proves everyone lives and makes decisions from their belief system. Even sinners, that say they would never let their beliefs interfere with their decisions, like supreme court judges, who are de facto evil sinners, that have broken every commandment of GOD, will in fact side with their beliefs. Every person that says otherwise is a liar! Fact: the supreme (evil men and women) court will not even uphold the law on illegals. Biden is king, so the courts do not get involved. The real SUPREME JUDGE IS COMING! He knows all your lies and secrets, and you will stand before Him and give account!

33. Individual police officers need to be liable for their conduct. End Qualified Immunity!

34. Amazing reporting as always. You never fail to provoke thought

35. Where is the American Civil Liberties Union when all these violations are going on?

36. Wow! Man gets 6 months in prison for calling a cop a name?!

37. Security guards are the scum of America, they think they are cops. Judges are as courrpt as the laws itself

38. The supreme court of the US must be dissolved. The partazen politics involved are killing citizens

39. Colorado has so many bad cops. Why, it used to be a great place to live and visit.

40. More proof that the US needs to be taken down by force.

41. Not just sketchy legal jargon, but an individuals idea of his INTERPRETATION of the laws !!

42. How many times do we the people hear from a judge, that ignorance of the law is no excuse?? Why does this not apply to EVERYONE.?

43. Didn’t Colorado abolish qualified immunity??

44. THEY swore an oath… that implies knowledge thereof !

45. Qualified Immunity insurance should self regulate inept, or corrupt LEOs

46. The Police 🚔 Officer and the Judge is a PUSSEY 🐈. Freedom of speech 💬 is not allowed for citizen to express against Police officer and the judges friends in this town 🤔? What does Justice looks like if the system works against a law abiding citizen.
