Well, this is one for the bloopers reel!
A few years ago I saw a guy in an alley drawing a gun on someone as I was driven by by. Called the cops and was told it was a film set.
Can’t blame the officer
Meh, a LOT of stuff these days is filmed guerilla-style.
Some cities cheaply permit it and are super prompt to inquiries, flexible with scheduling, etc.
Other cities milk it for all it’s worth and are super slothe to respond to the associated calls and emails —it’s like the post-office.
So people throw up their hands and just shoot it, giving the cities nothing. Faster and cheaper, right..?
The equipment is soooooo much smaller and lighter, you can often escape heavy scrutiny. You can get away with it.
I think when LEO’s see this and actually understand, they pretend not to.
Goes better with the city manager and chief, that way.
“You’re sorry for me nearly SHOOTING you, huh...? Well are you going to at least PAY THE FEE you were trying to shirk...?”
A lot of cops are revenue agents.
Yeah, blare a lot of public safety stuff at me now.
The late Jerry Doyle related a story at a DragonCon.
He and some other actors were on a rooftop filming some action sequences and had prop guns.
It was past midnight and several laser sights were on them.
Nobody told the cops or residents. No shots fired.
Any respectable set manager filming a “crime scene” will contact local police, post a signage and have either an off duty officer or a security guard on the location, usually at the entrance.
Good thing this is one of the 80 percent of officers who miss their target when firing at suspected criminals.
This was the total fault of the entire group of film makers,crew,extras,etc. Any time a movie is being made,police have to be there,for traffic control,crowd control,and to keep things from getting out of hand.

Only effing arrogant Hollywood liberals can play cow boy and Indians...
Too bad the officer had to go through this, I would sue them.
Sgt. Matt Schroeter needs more range time.
Duff is lucky to be alive.
Pretty dumb to have people walking around in a ski mask and carrying a gun with letting the local LEO know about it.
Crawfordsville is a small town where all the cops will know each other as well. So when the actors are walking around in police uniforms they are likely to garner unwanted attention as well.
Actor Lives Matter.
Shoot first, that’s how he was trained, GUARANTEE IT.
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...
Filming without brains.
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.
