Body Cam Video Shows Moment Indiana Officer Shoots at Actor Filming Robbery Scene
ktla ^ | October 3, 2017

The incident happened last week in the town of Crawfordsville when police responded to a 911 call about a robbery at Backstep Brewery on North Green Street, according to KTLA sister station WXIN in Indianapolis. The caller told dispatchers that a man in a ski mask entered the bar with a gun.

Sgt. Matt Schroeter arrived at the location and saw a man in a ski mask backing out the door. He appeared to be holding a weapon. The “robber” was actually actor Jim Duff, who was filming a scene for a movie.

But Schroeter didn’t know that.

“Drop the gun! Drop the gun now!” Schroeter yells in body camera footage released after the incident. Duff then turns toward the officer and takes off his mask; Schroeter fires a shot and repeats his orders for Duff to drop his weapon.

“We’re doing a movie!” Duff says after taking off the ski mask and dropping the weapon.

...

Police said neither the production company nor the bar owners told them that a movie was being shot in the area. It didn’t help that the other actors and filming equipment were inside the business, making it difficult to know that a movie was being shot.

The Cop is a hero!

Duff is a loser. Lock him up for negligence.

Film crews often need permits. Stunts (driving), brawls, altercations, robberies, etc.

Things that might provoke a reaction or endanger others...

They have filmed parts of several episodes of Better Call Saul near where I work and you can’t miss all the production vehicles and staff around for a two-block radius. Must have been a low-to-no-budget movie.
