Yep, I agree, going out of one's way to antagonize the police is not helping with making police more transparent or accountable. I was really just responding to the parent realizing the generally pro-LE attitude, which I do think extends beyond this thread, for the reasons I stated, in part. I didn't mean it as a way of excusing the OP of the videos. At the same time, if the OP didn't do anything illegal, they shouldn't have been arrested, even if it's "annoying." If this kind of thing interferes with the police, there should be some legal precedent set before you get thrown in jail for it (maybe there is, if so, hooray!) edit: the shade of your text is getting lighter, to be clear – I upvoted your comment, it was completely reasonable.
