Earl David Worden: Another Case of Videographers vs. the Police

Interesting Capt Gregory Prickett thanks for sharing. With all of the killings of security force personnel including police officers, I would tend to tip the balance to toward the police while respecting the rights of journalists. Anybody filming a police station without clear permission should not consider it an infringement of their rights to show identification when asked to by authorities.

From the start of the article it's clear that the writer is baiting you to think that using a video camera in front of a police station is somehow wrong or suspicious. The opinion that this (not so smart move) is illegal, wrong, or strange a reason to approach the video recorder and ask them to identify is not the right answer. Nothing illegal about what the guy is doing, and the hot tempered cops need to stop acting like hornets. It's a public building which ironically has many cameras on it and pointing at it, so what's the problem? Bull headed thinking.There is no such thing as failure to identify, it's a trick that is used to escalate. Show me your papers when standing on a public street is unconstitutional, no matter what your argument might be.
Did the government issue you an ID? No! There is no government ID issued to civilians.

The photographer is trying to provoke the police. If you're gonna be stupid ya gotta be tough.
