Washington Man Arrested for Video Recording SWAT Team from Public Sidewalk

by Carlos Miller

A Washington man was arrested for video recording police from a public sidewalk after they had raided his neighbor?s home Saturday.

He was charged with obstruction, although as you can see in the video below, all he was doing was interviewing his neighbor about having a gun pointed at her six-month-old daughter.

A militarized cop then walked up to him and told him he was not allowed to record him without his permission as you can see in the video above, which we all know is false ? especially considering the cop was the one who walked up to him (but that doesn?t even make a difference).

The man, who goes by 509rifas and lives in Yakima County, posted the videos and story and an open carry forum. Hopefully, we?ll get more details, including the police agency involved.

Here is his story:

So I heard a commotion outside, turns out SWAT was raiding my neighbors house again. Heard a flashbang then walked down to film it. I was there for a while, maybe 20 minutes with no problems.

Then I started talking to a young woman who asked me if I had it on camera when they pointed guns at her infant.

A sgt approached and told me not to film and whatnot, and I actually turned the camera off, turned it around to show him, and THEN he arrested me for obstruction.

He noticed my smaller camera and assumed it was on, and then arrested me. The arrest isn?t actually recorded, what let up to it up to the point I stopped recording is.

As they brought me over to the SWAT van he said something on the radio about ?grabbed this guy? recording? and I?m fairly certain I heard back ?stop him!.? I?ll find out for sure when I get the PRA records. But if that was what was said, that steps it up to another level.

As it stands right now, I am facing criminal charges of obstruction a law enforcement officer, and have court next week.

tell poncho from chips he can go fuck himself.

you don't have to be polite to someone who's a rude prick.

1 - he's in a public area, no person at all can claim you can't record, RECORD, continue, and resist false arrest by a cop VIOLATING THE LAW , fuck these law violators - if they aren't arrested for this then our system is of zero use - and it needs to be utterly ignored in entirety.

2 - he's a public servant working on our tax money, we can record his ugly face anytime we want. if he doesn't like the terms of employment he can quit, GIGANTIC PANTYWAIST that idiot is.

seriously - cuss these pricks out, then resist if they attack you.

DEA Sweeps Across Western Washington With Dispensary Raids

By Steve Elliott

Federal Drug Enforcement Administration agents raided medical marijuana collectives in Seattle, Tacoma, Olympia, Puyallup, Rochester, and Lacey, Washington, as a coordinated raid swept across the Puget Sound region on Tuesday.

Patient advocates and legal defense groups report that at least nine dispensaries have been raided, according to The Seattle Times. Ben Livingston of the patient advocacy group Cannabis Defense Coalition said he's spoken with several dispensary owners and defense attorney Aaron Pelley, who confirmed raids were occurring.

"I'm in shock because now I have no pain medicine," said patient Cameron Christenson outside of Seattle Cannabis Co-op on Rainer Avenue, reports David Rose at Q13 Fox News. "I can think of 100 crack houses in town -- why don't you go raid those?"

"It means people are going to have to go back out on the street and you don't know what you're getting," Christenson said. "It's going to be a nightmare."

Children defy police in Washington, purchase "illegal" lemonade at Capitol

Thug D.C. police respond with arrests and intimidation

From Adam Kokesh:

In response to a recent wave of lemonade stand shut downs and harassment of children over such petty regulations as are used to shut them down, several activist gathered at the west lawn of the capitol in Washington, DC to sell lemonade and were arrested. While the officers were technically on solid "legal" ground in shutting down the stand, they behaved inappropriately by any standard numerous times, using intimidation tactics on protesters and observers, and harassing members of the professional media. The willingness with which children and tourists participated by purchasing lemonade in disobedience of the police instructions is an indicator of how little respect the general public has for government in general, and specifically police when enforcing unjust laws. Gives me hope for America. For those who are complaining about the public property not being used for its intended purpose, part of the point of this that the government should not be using public property for the glorification of government when it could be better used to serve public interests. Excessive vending at the capitol (or without a permit in any public space) would surely be preferable to 22.5% unemployment. Free the economy!

These bastards WILL answer to God.
They may answer sooner, there's always KARMA.

Payback is a bitch.

they say people don't appreciate what they have until they lose it, i learnt much by travelling outside of not just my own life but state life itself.

with cop shops there is warning in advance, i look at it that these are freedom's best salesmen. in freedom it can be sold as protection, now people are protected they know what this really means.

Dave, I see you are still commenting on this site. I haven't been here in several months and nothing has changed. You still make almost no sense at all and your comments are like gibberish. "Cops" are in NO WAY "freedom's best salesmen" whatever THAT means. They are mostly now a jack booted sqaudron of steriod filled meat heads with medium to low IQ's who "serve and protect" THE STATE, not the people.

I agree with 74162. Now that's a comment I can understand! Whoever says this country is a "free country" needs to have their head examined.

Thank you, I made that comment.

I'm mad as hell... and have all I can do to keep myself from commenting on ALL the bullshit.

And this was great! So here it is again.....
