It is not 'illegal' to film police officers in the United States. Our rights are inherent, granted by the Creator, as outlined in the Declaration of Independence. Understand and assert your rights.
| [Update: Log records indicate that this page has been visited by local police departments. To any tyrannical diabolical-inspired scum from West Covina or anywhere else who has read the truth here, you are on notice that legal action is being taken against you. To degenerate anti-Christian officer Cloud: This is not a game. I will make this clear. You need to repent of your evil ways and stop violating peoples rights and lying to people. You do not enforce the law, you abuse the power that has been entrusted to you, to violate the law. I officially invite you to a PUBLIC DEBATE, regarding your claim that it is "illegal to film any police officer on duty in the united States".. Respond to me via email and the debate will be set up in a public arena with one month notice. There will be a full house in attendance, and it will be broadcast live via internet stream as well as on radio. I am a Roman Catholic liberty advocate and will never be forced to stop talking or exerting my God given rights, as you tried to stop me on 1/27/09. Note: None of what is on this page constitutes the official police complaint. I have not sent anything to the W.C.P.D. and until I do so, they are not in reciept of complaint and are not to contact or respond to me. |

John 3:19: "And this is the verdict, that the light came into the world, but people preferred darkness to light, because their works were evil. 20 For everyone who does wicked things hates the light and does not come toward the light, so that his works might not be exposed. 21 But whoever lives the truth comes to the light, so that his works may be clearly seen as done in God."
It is NOT illegal to film police officers, despite what the degenerate jackboot kook cop in this video claimed. Only those who are not the dark side seek to hide their deeds.
This incident occured in West Covina, CA on 1/27/09. I had previously filed a formal complaint against one of their officers. Full story can be found on my main page at LibertyFight.com, along with videos of the original incident and the video of the police internal affairs investigative interview, which I recorded with my videocam. (And No, I did not ask anyones 'permission' to record that either).[See Formal Complaint Filed Against West Covina Police detective Mark Tedesco for Civil Rights Violations -7/9/08] Chief of police Willis sent me a letter thanking me for "bringing up training issues" after I filed that complaint.
I am not afraid to film and broadcast the truth. I did not turn off the camera when he gave his illegal demand. I did not consent to a warrantless search. He made me get out of the car, but as you will see, I repeated that I DO NOT consent to a search of my automobile. I then told them that I am rolling up the windows and locking my doors, which I did. Because I did this, they did not search my car and could not steal my camera. This scum then told me off camera that he would "handcuff me, take me to jail ,and take my camera" to "prove he is right" if I dare even mentioned filming cops again. His name is officer Cloud.
He also said that "it is illegal to film any police officers on duty in the United States". Look at this guy- this grossly obese glutton of a man illustrates a complete satanic pride , and lack of self control both in character and by his physique. He looks like he's 18 months pregnant- He would surely not pass a police physical. He is therefore also putting the public he claims to serve in danger by the very state of his health.
But he has a gun, and a badge, so the control-freak degenerate abuses his ''power'' to threaten people for speaking about something he disagrees with. He had no valid authority to arrest me or even threaten to arrest me for speaking. This was a civil rights violation. (I did not get arrested because I stopped talking when he threatened me.) Notice he then goes to my car and tells my wife that filming is illegal, even though she wasn't even holding the camera- it was on the dashboard. He tells her to turn it off, and when she tells him that she is going to ask me what to do first, the despicable coward changes his tune and tells her to get out so that 'we can get away from the camera'.
I will never stop standing up for my and others God given rights. Resist the police state, resist illegal searches. Resist the new world order. Do not consent to searches without a warrant. Stand up for your rights. I am in the process of taking legal action against him.
Glory to God in the Highest. Defeat the satanic insipired scum that seek to violate the innocent and oppress the public. [Watch the video below.]
Ephesians Chapter 5:10 Try to learn what is pleasing to the Lord. 11 Take no part in the fruitless works of darkness; rather expose them, 12 for it is shameful even to mention the things done by them in secret; 13 but everything exposed by the light becomes visible, 14 for everything that becomes visible is light. Therefore, it says: "Awake, O sleeper, and arise from the dead, and Christ will give you light." 15 Watch carefully then how you live, not as foolish persons but as wise, 16 making the most of the opportunity, because the days are evil. 17 Therefore, do not continue in ignorance, but try to understand what is the will of the Lord.
10 Blessed are they who are persecuted for the sake of righteousness, 9 for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 11 Blessed are you when they insult you and persecute you and utter every kind of evil against you (falsely) because of me. 12 Rejoice and be glad, for your reward will be great in heaven. Thus they persecuted the prophets who were before you. 13 "You are the salt of the earth. But if salt loses its taste, with what can it be seasoned? It is no longer good for anything but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot. 14 You are the light of the world. A city set on a mountain cannot be hidden. 15 Nor do they light a lamp and then put it under a bushel basket; it is set on a lampstand, where it gives light to all in the house. 16 Just so, your light must shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your heavenly Father.
