The problem is YouTube celebrities being dicks for likes. The cops are clearly just annoyed at this guy who keeps trying to wind them up to video their reaction. He's not filming them potentially beating anyone up, they're just standing there while he complains about random drivers going past who they're not stopping. Just because the victim is a cop doesn't mean the bully isn't wrong. If he was honestly trying to record police abuse, he could do it better keeping his mouth shut and from a distance without constantly trying to draw them into a stupid argument.
- blt 6y agoNo. The question isn't "is a cop allowed be annoyed with a youtuber?" or "is this youtuber causing net harm to the public good?". The question is: "can a cop interfere with a youtuber's ability to record and publish their actions?".

The question is: "can a cop interfere with a youtuber's ability to record and publish their actions?". This doesn't interfere with the youtubers ability to record and publish the cop's actions. It only prevents them from profiting from it.
- true_religion 6y agoIt sort of feels worse to think that the police are interfering with a business simply because that business is anti-establishment. Sure they can be annoyed by this guy, but they lose respectability by trying to harm his business. The additional powers that police have, must come with some additional responsibility.
