    Default Constable filmed at G20 making what sounds like vague threat

    It's right at the end of the video, and the patch and star are unmistakable:



    What gives?

    "get that camera out of my face"? How about no? He's on public property, in plain view, no privacy is expected.

    That brings up a different question, are Constables LEO's? As in if they stop you for anything, MUST you give them your name verbally when demanded?

    Not having committed a crime "on view," the correct move is to continue to film.

    The real answer is 42.

    That's just a point of interest--I volunteered, as did some other Constables I know about, but I did it (1) just to make them tell me to my face that they despise PA Constables (which they cheerfully did), and (2) because on the off chance they took me, it'd be an interesting experience and an opportunity to keep the peace without violating anyone's civil rights.

    I hope nothing bad happens today or tomorrow, but if it does I'll be the first to say, "What the hell did you expect when you bring in renta-thugs from chi-town?"

    I wonder what Adam-12 has to say?

    I'll bet it depends upon who said constable knows.

    Some jackass deputy who works at the city courts building all day? In.

    An elected guy from the suburbs? Out.

    I didn't see anything unlawful going on there... sounds like the constable just said "Get the F out of my face..." ...

    "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."

    Again, this is the scene that I have nightmares about...

    The threat was implied, on the other side of the unspoken "or," and it was under color of law.
