The battle over the right to record police is far from over. That’s because a case pending over a routine traffic stop in Lakewood, Colorado, where police interfered with a citizen journalist recording, could have a huge impact on a controversial legal precedent which shields cops from legal liability.
Please join journalists Taya Graham and Stephen Janis for this important episode of the Police Accountability Report!

Standard issue a badge a side arm and a broom so they can at least sweep up a bit instead of standing around wasting time and taxpayer dollar
I was a volunteer firefighter from 1996-2001. We were covered as long as we were staying inside our scope of training as far as medical liability. If I did something that wasn’t taught in the states first responders course and test I would be liable for any harm caused. I was named in a lawsuit along with everyone on a vehicle wreck and two fire rescue departments because after the wreck somebody wrecked their car after the county road department had cleared the road. I was covered by the department’s insurance or whatever they paid the settlement from. It was incredibly easy for someone to sue me as a volunteer firefighter but cops are accepted as unable to actually learn the constitutional rights of the citizens that employe them.

Cop watchers are best without being obnoxious. Like Long Island Auditor. Having extrensive knowledge of your rights and arguing calmly help really highlight officer wrongdoings.
Ms Taya: if they were fixing up buildings and windows, that would be serving we the people, they’re trying to make us serve the government. Cops are only trying to make money for the government, they don’t care about a rapist, child, molester, killer as long as it’s your kid, my woman, some other peon Citizen Citizen. Their nuthin but organized crime. ACAB 1312
Ms Taya: qualified immunity ain’t even close to constitutionally legal, NO ONE IN THE GOVERNMENT is above We the people !!! ACAB 1312
One for cops, one for peon citizens: when did the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA become Nazi Germany, communist China or communist Russia ??? Their nuthin but organized crime, ACAB 1312 !!!
Ma’am qualified immunity ain’t even close to constitutionally legal, we’re all equal, just because they got a gun and a badge don’t mean their above we the people !!! WE THE PEOPLE need to start holding pigs accountable, they don’t ever hold themselves accountable !!! Our government/pigs are nuthin but organized crime !!! ACAB 1312
Ms Taya: police are only interested in making money for the government, if a women in your family or my family or another peon citizens family gets raped, NO BIG DEAL, we gotta make money for the government, pigs ain’t serving us, their serving the government………..ORGANIZED CRIME !!! ACAB 1312
Ms Taya: In the United States all citizens are equal, cops ain’t above we the people, if the law don’t apply to them (qualified immunity) then we the people can do whatever we want (qualified immunity) !!!
"Qualified Immunity" was (supposedly) there to protect cops in cases of honest mistakes BUT, of course and as usual, COPS ABUSED IT. They need to not only be fired for ANY transgression and lose the "cop license" so they could NEVER be cop again, but have the punishment 10x more than that of a "civilian". The death penalty sound fair to me.
How is it possible to have a justice system where those who enforce justice are immune to it? Bizarre America.
Four states have abolished Qualified Immunity, CO, NY, CT, and NM,,, There are twenty-five states in the process right now…
The only reason they still violate our rights is because they get away it
These cops that violate rights and break the Law, they need to be put in prison.
🇺🇸1st Amendment and all our US Constitutional rights 🇺🇸 thank God for freedom and those standing up to keep them. We are a constitutional republic. Those pushing a democracy system have caused these issues in our republic that have tried to ignore our constitutional individual rights and turn us into a police state — I would suggest people research the difference between a constitutional republic and a democracy
Abolish qualified immunity ,abolish qualified immunity 🎉🎉😢😢
Qualify immunity must go. Cops should be accountable for their actions like anybody shoukd
You guys are awesome!! Thank you â¤â¤!
Given ANY rule, law, policy or weapon, cops can, and will, find a way to abuse it.
