As a former officer (who has learned a lot from 1st Amendment Activists) I believe that what you are doing is long overdue. I have been watching all of you guys for a long time, and there are times when I see myself in the young officers who make fools of themselves for your cameras. Twenty years ago in my academy we didn’t really spend much time on civil rights, which I see now is a shame.
For the most part police officers are out there every night largely unsupervised, and for generations we have all been taught to “listen to the police”. This combination is just one of the reasons that police misconduct and abuse is so common. It has happened over time, and we are used to it, and we just blindly obey without protest while our civil rights continue to be violated.
Actually, many people aren’t even aware that police are violating their civil rights!…and so it goes unreported. Many times the police aren’t even aware they’re in violation. They have learned the behavior from FTO’s (Field Training Officers), and they are following the examples set by older officers who have learned it the same way for generations. It has never been questioned, and is now basically unwritten policy .
I hope you will keep filming and bringing attention to these injustices. I really believe that you all are making a difference. Your videos are informative for both the police AND citizens. We all benefit from your work. When you hold up a mirror to police and they see themselves blatantly disregarding civil rights, being overbearing, unnecessarily confrontational, and just plain rude it forces them to take a hard look at themselves through our eyes. And I think most of them time, whether they immediately show it or not, they don’t like what they see, and it may change how they conduct themselves on their next interaction, and the next, etc.
It took decades of abuse, ignorance, and blind-eyes for the system to become this mangled. Now that you (and others like you) are putting a spotlight on it for the world to see I believe change is inevitable.

The Former Cop’s…letter to a Former officer.
Former cop from Kansas City. I couldn’t agree more. I can honestly say that many of these cops do not even realize how many of their regular practices are improper to illegal… When I came onto the job in the 90’s, demanding id from nearly everyone was the standard, everyday thing to do…Older, experienced cops did it, so did I… Pretextual car stops that were mainly about running everyone’s name, passengers too…
Searched every car we could…pulled people out of cars…cuffed people “just for my safety”… and all that bull crap and a bag of chips..
I’m not proud of it… I justified it to myself because i worked in a high crime inner city that was in the throes of a savage crack problem and also breaking its homicide record..
10, 15, 20 calls a night…
Everything i did was rationalized by somehow connecting it to my “safety” which WAS not bs… Ive survived a great many violent encounters involving someone legitimately trying to hurt me or worse..
I’m feeling inspired… When i find the balls, I plan on getting a gopro and trying to do a little auditing of my own…partially to cleanse my conscience, but also because I’m older and more humble now and I want to be part of this movement in hopes that preserving and defending the constitution becomes the normal thing.
I think there needs to be a sweeping, nationwide effort to retrain every single cop in America on constitutional law….especially the 1st. 2nd, 4th, 5th, and 14th amendments.. Like seriously….send them ALL to a comprehensive in-service and make them pass relevant, real world tests before they can answer calls.
I want to audit, but I know that being former law enforcement will probably get me labeled a turncoat and put a target on me.. I would be good at it though….ive been on both sides.
this channel inspires…
