How much should you charge for a photograph?Oregon man impersonates cop as he assaults news videographer
A man who believes he is some type of cop was arrested for assaulting a news videographer in Oregon Wednesday.
Peter Fournier can be seen approaching KATU news videographer Bob Bullock as he was filming footage for a weather report.
Fournier is covering his face as he approaches, then pushes his back against Bullock’s camera. He then calls Bullock a “loser reporter.”
And at one point, he pulls out a badge and acts as if he is a cop.
He later said that he was upset that Bullock was filming children as they were getting dropped off at school – which is not illegal and actually quite common for a news report.
He was arrested for assault, malicious mischief and impersonating an officer. Earlier this year, he was arrested for using a stun gun on a 16-year-old boy as he was dressed in a security guard uniform. Yes, he is one of those.
Bullock ended up with thousands of dollars in camera damage as well as bruised ribs and a cut hand.
Comments
a wanna be cop who couldn’t make the grade,,, at least the News guy told their viewers that it is legal to film in public…
If someone were to assault me like that, would that be legal justification for me to give him a swift kick to the nads?
I wear steel-toed boots, for the sake of clarity.
Sounds more like a regular cop to me.
I saw a talk with Bruce Davidson. He was talking about the civil rights marches. He saw another photographer with a movie camera and Davidson commented on it. The guy said yeah it’s really good for hitting people…
Hello
I think there should be some rules and regulations for every videographer so this will work and nobody gets a problem.Thank you very much for sharing this information with us.
What I find telling is that this photographer (presumably he has /some/ experience with the police professionally) didn’t question or challenge the jerk’s assertion that he was a cop. Not once that I heard, anyway.
One would think that a well-run, professional PD would /want/ asshattery of this sort to /immediately/ mark jerks like this as fake.
Nemo: i’m not sure where you’re coming from with your comment… but i assure you, the second we start “assuming that cops aren’t cops” is the second we all start getting beat up BEFORE we get arrested.
Gene:
I’m saying that one should /know/ that an asshat like that isn’t a cop, because “everyone knows” that cops don’t act like that. Contrariwise, the fact that it /wasn’t/ obvious that said asshole wasn’t a cop, goes to impugn the cops on the face of it, i.e. the cameraman in question /believed/ that cops occasionally acted like that; ergo, the asshole could have been a cop, as he claimed to be (but wasn’t).
QED
Sida: Yeah there are very clear rules and laws in place. The problem is that some people like this idiot in the video don’t know them.
Reading this post, I expected the offender to be some creepy cop wannabe living in his mom’s basement. But no, he lives in a damn mansion! I hope the photographer sues him for every damn penny the bastard has.
