At the end you can hear security talk about flipping the camera on and following them out, this two faced BS really pisses me off. Glad the video guys had the balls to say no, good on them. As for the G20, what started out as $100 million for security has now gone up to nearly a billion, what a waste of my tax dollars, paying to protect a bunch of thuggish assholes.

It’s apparent that the security guards are entirely unaccustomed to somebody telling them “No”, and politely at that. Well Done.

This is so surreal to watch. It’s scary to think that everything I know about law and civil rights has absolutely no bearing on what happens when police or private security decides to encounter a private citizen. Scary. You never really know if these 2 filmographers were ever free to walk as they pleased. If they were free to go, then they were also free to stay, right? What’s with the private property crap?

what a cluster fuck…

The woman in the pink with the bag looked like a terrorist to me.

Why do film crews never hire their own private security to accompany them to location? You can hire uniformed private security by the hour. Have YOUR officer tell security they need to move along and stop breaking the law!

How’s about we kick this G8 G20 crap into international waters or something. Pittsburgh was bad enough disrupting Amtrak, SHUTTING DOWN a major downtown area, but Toronto? Seriously? These bureaucrats want to whine about money, let them do it on an aircraft carrier in the middle of the Atlantic, or from the middle of the Greenland ice sheet, or put them on the International Space Station to argue…

I have no idea what Canadian law is per public area photography.

Anyone know how similar it is to US Law?

Canadian law is similar – have a look at http://www.ambientlight.ca/laws.php (essentially our version of the Krages document)

hahaha, lmao! That is an awesome idea Nicholas. I could see it turning into something like a Monty Python sketch,
“You move along.”
“No, you move along.”
“No, you.”
“No, you.”

I thought the same thing about the man without shoes on at 0:39 into the vid… you can tell he’s al-quada, because he tried to cover his face.

Nudge nudge, wink wink, know what I mean know what I mean? Say no more, SAY NO MORE!

G 20 types thing they own the world and we are nothing but serfs. The guards actions were probably by orders from them. As to having there own security, this way they can “disavow all knowledge” and hang it on the locals.

As to a boat in international waters, good idea, only see to it that there is a hole in it.

More Toronto G20 police vs videographer confrontations.

What you all fail to think about is what appears like innocent video to you and me and even to the videographer can be used by bad people. They can look at the video and get a better feel for the place that they plan to commit bad actions at.

If these are such travesties of justice, if your first amendment rights are so trampled on, if youre so abused legally, ethically, and morally, and your precious little cameras and what you deign to do with them is so laeful and so protected and so legtimate, why aren’t you taking the existing data and footage right into Supreme Court and harvest your victory? Your agents continue to disturb the peace and court conflict wherever they go but you aren’t making your way into court where your rights and your claims will go through due process. I challenge you and your organization Mr. Miller to file just one case for your first amendment rights based on these videos. All I see is a bunch of people crying foul and not following through with their claims; and, arrogance.

One more comment, DON’T FEED THE TROLL!!
