Start filming when the cops pop their hoods to block dash cams.

Oh wow that's a whole new kind of awful I didn't know about. Blocking their dash cam with their hood?
- Well I know I'm officially on the Reddit alternative when I see a repost from 6 years ago. Body worn cameras have become pretty much standard and dash cameras are of much less benefit once the vehicle is stopped. Yes, putting the hood up to block the camera is obviously suspicious but this is a very old post. It's time to move on to tactics. Used to skew the angle of the bodyboard camera.
  
  Ah I see, so it's not a new tactic, it's a very old one.
  
  body worn cameras get turned off all the time mysteriously
- Amazing what you people choose to believe.
  
  If your position is that all cops are always good, I pity you. So let's assume you think bad cops are rare. Statistically wrong, but whatever, let's roll with it. Let's learn how to spot the bad ones.
Always film the cops https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copwatch
- And if they try to stop you, let them arrest you but disable your device before they can access it. Then find the local ACLU and return the trouble to the cops
  
  They just smash phones the majority of the time. Unless you’ll be able to automatically update your photo/video to the cloud.
It's sad to see how badly the police need more funding, their vehicles braking down en masse like that!

  Thank you?
- What?
  
  I was joking. I thought it was super obvious, but here we are.

- Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using an URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !acab@lemmygrad.ml

Damn, this post got a lot of traction
You mean recording?
- Please go back to reddit. No one wants comments like this
  
  Umm, aktually, your phone is digital, my good sir, which means that technically, there is no "film" inside with which to film, only my favorite directors like Judd Apatow use real film 🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓
  
  Totally Lemmied
  
  This is already a 6 year old repost to begin with.
