Police officer lying to citizen, on camera

2017-03-13 23:53:31.356643+01 by Dan Lyke 0 comments

Wilmington North Carolina police falsely told a man he couldn’t film them. ‘I’m an attorney,’ he said. ‘I know what the law is.’:

“If a police officer gives you a lawful command and that command is disobeyed, they’ll arrest you,” Bright said. “The fact that I wasn’t arrested and he didn’t even try to arrest me is proof that he was being dishonest.”

So the big problem here is: You know that the police officer is lying to you when you refuse to do something and they don't arrest you? I sure hope that the ACLU (or even this guy, 'cause he's a lawyer) sues the fuck out of the Wilmington NC police department and gets enough of an award that other police departments sit up and take notice.
