My friend has been arrested 3 times by the Hawthorne police department for video recording. He has won 3 lawsuits against them for all of the arrests.
There was a time in the city where if he showed up to film they would harass, threaten and arrest for filming them. This is a blatant violation of constitutional rights.
Watch this video and see how the police treat him now !!!
Additionally, in this video you should note where we are standing and filming. Exactly one year ago I was filming by myself in this exact location at a DUI checkpoint and a Sgt came over and told me to leave and threatened me with arrest for filming.
Man, times have changed. The police have changed. All because two men with video cameras stood their ground and stood up for the constitutional rights of all Americans.
The Lt in this video comes off as nice and friendly but make no mistake, this guy is a crooked cop who lied on all of our police and arrest reports and destroyed evidence and engaged in a cover up in our arrests and the arrests of others.
Of course, since he has qualified immunity and indemnification nothing personally every happened to him. The city government just made the tax payers foot the bill and pay for his sins.
Must be nice being a cop and being above the law.
