Oh boy this isn’t going to end well for the police
- WaxProlix 4y agoIt totally might. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tQcST-jdl7U https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tQcST-jdl7U I don't want to be inflammatory but it's hard as hell to see this and not think "garbage country".
- jfengel 4y agoWhy wouldn't it? They're not public figures, and the law lets them sue over use of their likeness. And any misconduct is almost certainly covered by their immunity. They can almost certainly get the video taken down, and a good chance of monetary damages. And no consequences for anything else. Just because that's an obvious travesty doesn't mean it isn't the most likely outcome.
- HDThoreaun 4y agoYou can use likeness for political aims in ohio. But as far as consequences, there are more a person can face than legal. Yes, cops are covered by qualified immunity, but if the voters elect a new sheriff he can fire them all. Or the town can ostracize them. Or grafiti their house.
- gorbachev 4y agoPolice in the US routinely get away with all kinds of abuse and illegality. I wouldn't be surprised, if a friendly court decided for them.
