Are Texas police laying the groundwork to thwart cop watchers by sending them to jail for simply using cellphone cameras to film them? This is the serious question raised by a series of charges that accuse a group of Texas cop watchers of engaging in organized crime. In this episode of the Police Accountability Report, hosts Taya Graham and Stephen Janis investigate the basis for the accusations and possible consequences for the First Amendment, YouTube activism, and the future of citizen auditing, and speak to one of the men facing decades in jail for filming police to understand just how far police will go to evade accountability.

  1. So sad that this is happening in Texas. Its comin close to the time to "Abolish" our government as per the Texas Constitution at Article 1 Section 2.

  2. All of THAT county sounds like Criminals. This IS UNCONSTITUTIONAL Government has gotten TOO big PLEASE follow up with legal action If we ALL learn our rights AND stand against these KIDNAPPERS, change will come Kidnapping IS a FELONY EXTORTION is also This is retaliation at cops finest protect and serve is out the window not all cops are bad BUT the majority IS BAD COPS and BAD POLICING

  3. Are you aware of the Chuck Bronson case in Lafayette Indiana. youtube video is presented by Delete Lawz. A network should be created to expose police misconduct.

  4. My loved one had use and was given it in the hospital for medicinal use to stimulate appetite due to cancer making food consumption difficult 🙃.
    Ignorance and corruption hold hands too often and sometimes too tight.

  5. This police acts are terrorizing and harrasing. What the auditors do is to help the Good Cops Shine. 😮😢 this is disgusting and disheartening to say the least. Bully police tactics only lets corruption run rampant.

  6. This is government attempting to make transparency to the public a crime. Law enforcement is separating itself from accountability to the public taxpayers from the top down. The DOJ is corrupt and refuses transparency on a daily basis citing bogus reasons for secrecy. Wake up America and support these audits and get involved yourself or we the people will lose our rights and freedom. That is not hyperbole or radicalism it is a fact.

  7. Are you a Lawyer? If not why do you break into the video so much I mean you show 20% of the original video.Can’t you wait till the end of the original video..

  8. these cops act more like the Gestapo than American police officers. this is how they earned the name of PIGS. the only thing that can fix this situation is the cop PIGS need to go to prison.

  9. The chilling effect has already been achieved. There would have to be a lot of work accomplished by the police and courts to reverse this outrageous chilling effect…

  10. I truly think that cop watchers are true heroes. Of course, cop watchers are a new trend, but one that will stay. The more this is going to go, the more police will be policed by the cop watchers. This is great, because most police officers know the law and that they don't have all the powers that they grant themselves. By doing so, they are going against their own laws. Great that there are cop watchers. Maybe someone should think about filming the most popular cop watchers. This way, the crooked police officers couldn't charge a cop watcher unlawfully.

  11. They really hate people with a camera because they have to do their job correctly and not break the law. This is scary that they are trying to turn filming police a crime

  12. Any law enforcement who act and behave like these liars that were the law and to make up fake charges cause citizens were doing a legal activity and for any involved with charging these innocent citizens for a crime that clearly don't fit what these guys got charged for. I honestly hope all that were apart of charging these guys need to be exposed and charged themselves and fired. What the hell is going on with letting these sworn liars to keep getting away with false crimes like what happend to thes guys. What a shame yes you scum police who I know watches these videos, just know the peoples truly know who the traitors are.

  13. Ok if cop watching is organized crime the cops there selfs are guilty of the same ain't cops organized crime in there selfs?

  14.

  15. To the officers, detectives and the judges who signed off on the warrants against these journalists shame on you ! using your perceived power to jail, extort and separate children from their mothers and fathers for nothing more than filming your armed oath breaking thugs your true colors have come out . We Americans put a blind trust in you especially Judges to uphold the law without prejudice or favoritism and by not just 1 judge but 2 to have signed off on this is against everything we have trusted you to do its un-American and none of you are worthy of respect or honor.

  16. You are correct that they are social constructs, however it is through use of the bar and maritime law that they claim that it is legislation and that it has been passed by the regency over the subjects of the king they serve.

  17. The supreme Court ruled years ago that, if anything contradicts the Bill of Rights which is designed to uphold and protect the rights of the people. Any laws that give rights to government while stripping Liberty from the American people are not lawful because they violate the rights of the people. That is known as arbitrary and capricious legislation intended to turn a right into a privilege.

  18. The argument that these attorneys are making is simply to justify having the British regency controlling our courts through the maritime law. And the fact that most of the sheriff's department's State Police and other branches of government seemed to be thinking that they are subject to the British regency (BAR Association), not to the American people is where the real problem lies. It's time we take the BAR Association back out of here like we did in 1775.
