The Head Of The FBI Doesn't Think People Should Be Able To Film Police Beating And Killing Members Of The Public

May 13. 2016

FBI Director James Comey

James Comey, the director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), also known as the cover up kings (at least, that's what I call them), does not think members of the public should be allowed to film police officers beating and or killing civilians. He states it interferes with their work. Comey stated to reporters, "There's a perception that police are less likely to do the marginal additional policing that suppresses crime - the getting out of your car at 2 in the morning and saying to a group of guys, 'Hey, what are you doing here?" 

The head of the National Fraternal Order of Police, James O. Pasco Jr., responded to Comey's statements by saying, "He ought to stick to what he knows. He's basically saying that police officers are afraid to do their jobs with absolutely no proof." Under U.S. law people are allowed to film others in public settings, who are engaging in criminal behavior. At the heart of the matter is the fact the FBI hates when there is evidence of criminal misconduct by law enforcement, especially their agency. Comey says it blunts police work. The only thing that is blunted is the FBI's conscience.

James Comey, the director, said that while he could offer no statistical proof, he believed after speaking with a number of police officials that a “viral video effect” — with officers wary of confronting suspects for fear of ending up on a video — “could well be at the heart” of a spike in violent crime in some cities.

“There’s a perception that police are less likely to do the marginal additional policing that suppresses crime — the getting out of your car at 2 in the morning and saying to a group of guys, ‘Hey, what are you doing here?’” he told reporters. Mr. Comey was wading back into a dispute from last fall that pitted him against some of his bosses at the White House and the Justice Department and one that roiled racial tensions over confrontations between police officers and minorities...
