Is this not a serious enough obstruction as to be deemed illegal? Regardless, you now know you’re not dealing with good actors here.

- dragonwriter 5y ago> Is this not a serious enough obstruction as to be deemed illegal? Seems to be a pretty clear conspiracy against rights and deprivation of rights under color of law, actionable criminally under 18 USC Sec. 241 and civilly under 42 USC Sec. 1983.

- ronsor 5y agoTheir music playing is copyright infringement, since you need permission to play a song in public. Sooner or later, they will be sued.
- tsimionescu 5y agoThe copyright owner could sue them, not the victims of this policy.
- avs733 5y agoBy who? You really think a corporation is going to sue police for playing music? That would risk copyright laws being opened up further…benign neglect will rule the day here, bad faith actors rely on everyone else being to afraid to call them on their BS.
- stale2002 5y agoNo, someone playing a song on their phone, while walking down the street, is not going to be sued. Ever.
- JohnWhigham 5y agoyou now know you’re not dealing with good actors here. How about we instead attack the legal scenario that enables this fucking absurdity? People other than cops can do this.
- banannaise 5y agoBecause cops will use whatever absurdities they can find. Which is the bigger problem: frivolous copyright enforcement, or police abuse of power? Why would you focus on the first rather than the second?
