I don’t blame him for recording his interactions with the cops, especially now that he has been marked.
I record my interactions with them too. Its just common sense given the behavior of a few rotten apples that besmirch the reputation of the rest of the LEOs who stay within the law and respect those that assert their rights.
Actually, he isn't marked as you say.
People that have gone after cops, or those that had incidents with LE and won, are usually treated like the plague, and avoided by those in law enforcement. Remember Rodney King? After that fiasco LE went out of their way to avoid that guy. Same with OJ until recently, when he did something so stupid, which was recorded, with witnesses etc, he left himself wide open.
Every town has people in it, that are just looking to go after those in law enforcement, and most of these people are well known, and for the most part, avoided if at all possibly by those in law enforcement.
Any cop that would intentionally go after video boy in this article, is looking at some serious trouble.
