Who gives a #### what type of person doing the filming is? He's legally entitled to do so. Being impeded by a person whose sole job is to enforce the law is an extreme problem. We're not talking about the recorder, but the police. And why would you assume he would be filming if not for the police presence? If you haven't noticed, the CPS has been in trouble for a couple issues regarding rough handling in situations like this. The guy could just as easily be filming for the rights of the man on the ground as opposed to getting his jollies off..
And he was going to get harassed by the officer at the end for, again, doing something he was legally entitled to do, except the officer happened to recognize him. How could you see anything different as huge failure of the officers in that video. I bet one of them was Joe.
I kid
