Filming police isn't against the law in the US, so that wasn't the charge as the clickbait title states. If the guy wanted to be forthright he could have listed the complaint(s) that are on his summons instead of making up a different scenario. This guy's obviously looking for trouble; filiming police for no good reason; getting himself arrested for no good reason; then going online and being deceptive about it to get support for himself by stirring up more trouble. It's no wonder he's such a frustrated person.

He says pretty early on that what he actually got was a disorderly conduct charge. Edit: Hey -> He

He did. He says it was disorderly conduct, and that it will likely be changed anyway. The whole point is that the disorderly conduct charge was "trumped up" because he was filming them. I don't really see the title as click bait at all. I'm not saying we're hearing the whole story here, either, but I think it's a little extreme to call this click bait. And if it bothers you so much, why didn't you explain the charges in your comment?

He was arrested for disorderly conduct. The only conduct he was conducting according to his account was filming the police, so it seems clear that filming the police was the disorderly conduct for which he was arrested. Filming the police isn't (or shouldn't be) illegal in the US, but catch-all laws which are enforced at police discretion make it de facto illegal where police decide it is. I think of you're accusing him of making up a different scenario here, you'd need to have some evidence which wasn't presented.

  I think "disorderly conduct" fits some of these videos: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgnVXppkmzBKfTOwe-KqAJQ/videos https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgnVXppkmzBKfTOwe-KqAJQ/vid...

> filiming police for no good reason The existence of the state is reason enough - that's the whole point of the first amendment protections for the press.
