Police Investigating Alleged Constitutional Violations By Officer Caught On Video

He doesn’t want to reveal his name, but will say he’s almost 50, from North Jersey. A husband. A father. A small business owner. And a former cop.

I have only done a few audits, but I have audited with Police State NJ.

Link to my audit with Police State NJ vid:

I featured this particular Toms River NJ PD vid on several FB pages (FilmingislegalMoron, PINAC, SAEXTAZYPREZ, NewsNow NJ pages).
This is a perfect example of how to interact WHEN YOU KNOW THE LAW.
I can't stress that enough. You have to know the law and caselaw better than the cop on the street.
I see so many vids, some just this week, and they just don't know the law. They say 'The Supreme Court has ruled I can film from 10 feet away'.
Wrong.
Supreme Court has never ruled on any filming public officials cases.
You have to know the law like Mike did here.

Knowing the law is just part of the equation. The manner in which you present the law will greatly impact how the officer reacts to your information. Yelling, name calling, threats, and obscenities will not positively influence your position. You may be 100% accurate in the law and its application to the current situation, but that will not guarantee you the response you desire so why aggravate the situation with threats, name calling etc?
Also follow the wise words of Kenny Rogers in "know when to walk away." Being arrested is not required to bring about change.

Almost certain he didn't sue.
You do know it costs at least $5000-$10,000 to file a federal lawsuit under Title 42 USC §1983, right?

Are you talking about attorney's fees plus court costs? Filing fee, alone, have to be way less than that if you do it yourself.

 

[Texas Wolfman]

I think filing fees are $400 but do not hold me to that.

FILM, I know he was able to become involved in training local officers. I thought he achieved that through filing suit. I don't know a ton about his case. Can you tell us any details about how he accomplished that?

I believe you are correct on the amount. Additionally, filing fees can be waived if the party files the proper forms requesting waiver.
