that's why I use the velcro mount, if it's strong enough to break my neck it'll just pull of the velcro

True say, would be a great reply I've seen a video of a guy get stopped for this reason he was using the sucker mount so it would have just pulled right off in the event of the crash.

Just something I saw once

Of course, this is America. I've never heard of anything like that happening here in England

lol this video is so funny is there any need for that cop to be like that.

Provided they do actually have a law against it (no I'm not going to look, and yes it's very possible) then yeah, there's plenty of reason for the cop to be doing his job and enforcing the law. I don't understand what people are getting pissy about, he was perfectly nice to the rider (who was being a confrontational dick) and gave him verbal warnings for at least 2 violations. The tail light is a little iffy, some places require the lens to be red, which his wasn't..

The riders little bitch fit at the end just proves the point too. Cop was a nice guy, rider is a douchebag.

I've had lengthy chats with several different cops who think it's great that I record, citing how many horrid drivers there are on the road these days. And every cop I've met in other conversations when recording has glanced at the camera, clearly acknowledged it, and changed/said nothing about our interaction. An honest cop won't mind being filmed and will recognize the benefit of such accountability.

At least, that's my 3am take on it.

THIS. And in my area 100% of police in the nearest 4-5 cities (all one big metro area) have dash cameras that are on whenever they are out. If they are conducting a traffic stop they are already filming so why would they care if you film it to? My own home city now has officers wearing a small camera that is ear mounted so they can have video from the officers perspective instead of just the patrol car.

I record when I ride. If the police and courts tell me otherwise, then all they will do is turn me into a vandal who destroys traffic cameras in my spare time. If they can record me, I can record them. It's all in fair play.

obviously that guy is an idiot and hes just trying to look intimidating.

the worry would be that the camera could be an improvised gun or bomb, or trigger device for a bomb hidden in one of his huge backpacks.

his finger is off the trigger though, which means that the "camera man" can shoot/explode before he has the slightest chance to react.

if he was actually worried about the situation, he wouldnt have let the camera man get that close, or he would be in the process of bashing him in the face w/ his gun, removing the camera from his posession, and arresting him. so i can only conclude that hes just trying to look like a hardass for the camera.

I think it's actually a military exercise, noones in need of shooting arresting

I think it's a bit more obvious that he's performing an action many people do all the time, called 'posing.'

in a sense, sure. but there is not a military/police force in the world that would let you point a loaded [i assume] weapon at someone for a "photo op"

Yeah, because everyone always follows the rules. I've got several photos of friends of mine from the Army pointing (I assure you) loaded weapons at a camera. Against the rules? Yeah, probably. Just a 'photo op?' most likely.

It's the unloaded rifle that kills you.
