Not a big cop watch person, but the bartender had just told me of a Fairborn cop that seems to be stalking her. In addition to telephone calls (from the station), he has surprised by coming up behind her behind the bar.
Anyway, not ten minutes later, in walk two cops. So I start the video recorder on my iPad and, quite obviously, start recording them. Nothing much happens. They are there for a few minutes and leave. The smaller of the two cops waves at me as he leaves with a third man in civilian clothing (later I learned he was a DEA agent).
After they leave, the bartender advises me that the bigger of the two cops was the one bothering her. I hope I have made him think twice about how he acts in the future. Someone may be recording him.
I asked the bartender if she'd (did not advise her to) get a recorder, turn it on the next time he comes behind the bar, and politely, but firmly, instruct him to get out from behind the bar. IANAL, but I'd be willing to bet that cops can go anywhere the public is invited without cause. However, the public is not invited behind the bar. It strikes me as inappropriate, unprofessional, and likely illegal for him to up and go behind the bar without good cause.
I'd love to hear one of our legal eagles weigh in on that one.
