You realize that very rarely happens, right? You make it seem like police everywhere are oblivious. Most of those videos get recycled 100 times which makes it seem more frequent. And a lot of the idiots making those videos aren't all that knowledgeable of the law either. Yes they can film, no they can't interfere. Some of them cross that line. (I should say, some of the police in these videos are not the smartest either) One other thing to note about these videos is they usually do not capture the entire incident. That's most likely by design. Cop blockers want to paint a picture...They don't want the entire incident on film.

 

The best one is the idiot that tried to take his camera in a court room and Deputy P Barnes wasn't having any if it.

 

I don't disagree with anything in the first paragraph. I'm struggling with your last part, though. I've taken thousands of pictures in courtrooms. Did I break a law somehow that nobody else knows about? Why wasn't I bounced? Why did I even get in the courtroom to begin with? Surely I didn't do something I didn't already have the right to do?

Video camera. You are aware that cop blockers use video, not pictures right? And most court rooms prohibit video cameras unless the judge says it's ok.

 

Just search P. BARNES on YouTube and I'm sure you will find it

It's a decision by the Chief Circuit Judge in Kentucky. If he/she says no cameras in the courtroom, there are no cameras in the courtroom. Example, our Chief Circuit Judge does not allow cell phones in the courtrooms.

It would keep dumb people from making life-or-death decisions. I'm of the opinion that educated people will do a better job with those difficult decisions.

 

Why is it such a bad idea to keep morons from having carte blanche for killing people?

 

I'm not buying college makes someone better prepared to be a cop.

Kentucky has one of the most stringent training programs for police officers. It is nationally recognized as such. It's 22 weeks in length and focuses on job specific tasks.

That's just state police isn't it? City police and sheriff deputies go through a 16 week training don't they?

I'm sorry for all of you who don't want to hear this, but I'm really not. I feel as though our security as a people, in general, should not be left up to dolts.

I just want to make sure I understand what your saying.

 

If someone doesn't go to college then they are dumb and a dolt? And you are only qualified to make a life-or-death decision if you went to college?

No, all go through 22 weeks. Increased from 18 a few months ago.

Didn't realize that. Do all go through the same program or does state still have their own?

KSP, Lexington and Louisville have their own academies. Everyone else, to my knowledge, goes through EKU.

I believe KSP, Lexington and Louisville are 23+ weeks.

Per KSP website, theirs is 23 weeks. Lexignton is 33 weeks per their website. Louisville is 24 weeks per their website.

 

Seems like all Kentucky officers are getting good training. That's just recruit training too. Then there is a 15-20 week Field Training program.

I understand that video is up to the judge. No one me, you, police, has the right to privacy in a public place. A park or walking down the street. That is even the case in a public building.

I never said otherwise
