From Wikipedia:

"Disorderly conduct is a criminal charge in most jurisdictions in the United States. Typically, disorderly conduct makes it a crime to be drunk in public, to "disturb the peace", or to loiter in certain areas. Many types of unruly conduct may fit the definition of disorderly conduct, as such statutes are often used as "catch-all" crimes. Police may use a disorderly conduct charge to keep the peace when people are behaving in a disruptive manner to themselves or others, but otherwise present no serious public danger."

Reference: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disorderly_conduct

In my layman's ears, the above describes quite accurately what happened in the video.

Catch-all laws have a pretty long history of abuse. Those, and resisting arrest as a solo charge. It also happens to be illegal to film the police in many jurisdictions, but that doesn't mean it's right.

....doesn't mean it's right.

Maybe, maybe not. But... "pick your battles".

H3ray strikes again!

I came to this party late so I dont really have much else to say because everything was already said.

What a jerk. He has likely been abducted by aliens also. He really needs to get back on his meds.

Some people have way too much free time to focus on such things that are far worse in other countries where people don't have the means or freedom to whip out a video camera and start harassing the police without repercussions. That **** will get you shot and killed in a lot of third world, communist, dictatorships or oppressive government regimes.

 

[High Five H2]

well, he definitely got the attention he was looking for, so there's that.

Thats one way to go about a free meal, and bending over to get the soap.... IMHO the guy was asking for it.

It seems to me that the wave of gold-digging whores are expanding their business...weather it be by going against rich people, and sleeping with them and then sue them for so called "rape"...now they step up their game and move to being regular citizens going against the city and police force, pushing their buttons in order to get a negative reaction from the LE on video. and then cry and sue the city for an easy money. Disgusting!.
I agree not all cop are good and might even abuse their power even...but unless you walked the path they walked you got no right to judge.

Anyone notice two rock dwellers just surfaced? Ah damn I'm hearing voices again. Knew I forgot the refill. ****ers might wanna check that too

until you put on the badge and have to put yourselves in the situations that law enforcement officers have to, you will have no idea what its like to have to put up with the complete disrespect and the potential danger that is lurking within all of these people with their video cameras. I starts with a came a builds from there. if someone takes the officers attention away from what they are doing, that is interference, at least in texas. and there is not always a female around to search females. watch the way the officer did the search and you will see she was not violated. not to mention yelling like that is disorderly conduct. stop breaking the law and officers will not have to speak to you. grow the **** up!

the only bad thing to say is the officers had horrible officer safety

Fru makes a good point, they do put up with a bunch of crap. My buddy is in the academy now and I fear what the future holds for him. With all these loons on a cops ass they have to protect themselves, others but worry about who is watching their every move under a microscope.

 

[LagunaH1]

I have found it very useful to look at things like "Survive the streets": https://www.facebook.com/SurviveTheStreet

If all one ever listens to is the over-sensationalized news stories and misguided Youtube content then I can see how it can be easy to get a skewed and inaccurate view of law enforcement.

 

[3Hummers]

I suppose there are always a few bad apples but I will give the benefit of doubt to the LEO every time over the thug/criminal.

 

[Zach]

From my experience, as long as you are calm and collected, there is no issue. When you get , combative, offensive, loud mouthed=the problem

 

[LagunaH1]

...or better yet, don't put yourself in a situation where law enforcement starts paying attention to you.....
