You did great Carlos, keep up the good work!!!

Good job Carlos.

Nice job Carlos! You’re getting more and more exposure, for photography-and-cops, for PINAC and yourself also. My money’s on the Graber case getting dismissed once it’s in front of a judge.

After the video finished, there was another NBC vid of a cop caught doing a hit-n-run on surveillance video. Driving the wrong way on a one-way street in Brooklyn, he hit a bicyclist, broke his nose, his wrist and a tooth.

Maybe if they were wearing those Scorpion cameras…

For as much as you think you suck getting interviewed on TV, you’ve gotten much, MUCH better than when I saw your first TV PINAC interview. You were, honestly, a bumbling fool back then (as we all would be), but I think you’re doing really well now in your talk-to-a-camera skills. No worse than some repeat guests I see on MSNBC and CNBC.

Good job. The setup was bit bad in my opinion. I would’ve wanted bit longer segement and someone to argue against you. That way you could’ve nailed the whole issue completely. This way leaves a little vague feeling and the host tried to play the devils advocate just a little but would’ve been better to have a real cop or something there.

You are more effective if you are not too polished. You come across as an every day person, sincere in what you have to say, not a polished pitch artiest pushing an agenda.

I thought you did a good job on there. Although, I would like her to know that cops are civilians too. That’s my big pet peeve, I know, but referring to the citizens as civilians just feeds into this perception that cops are paramilitary and conducting a war on American citizens.

At least the issue is finally getting some coverage. We can only hope it lasts and actually accomplishes something before the drooling masses get bored again.

“Is it possible that this video does not tell the entire story?”

Correct response:
In this case, no. We can see plain as day that the video that he was arrested and raided for was taken outside on the side of the roadstop where the police had no expectation of privacy. There is absolutely no way that the charge is valid.

Really great job of explaining the issue and not backing down.

Good job, Carlos. I just listened to the KGO interview, too, and I think you conducted yourself well and did just fine on both interviews. I support what you are doing and I’m glad to see you out there getting your message across. Thanks.

Stick to writing. Not every photographer is good (or should be) on that side of the camera.

HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Awesome job.

Anyone with a camera owes you big time for your work on this topic. Thank you Carlos!

Good interview, keep up the awesome work, thank you so much for your dedication.

If the officer was not immediately recognizable as a law enforcement officer would the motorcyclist perhaps be in the right to actually bolt the scene and either go to a police station or seek an clearly identifiable police officer? If I saw a man attempt to corner me, pull a gun and approach me I may respond in another manner that may be appropriate given the circumstances. His filming of it would seem to back that up.

As for the wiretapping, I’m also predicting it will be thrown out due to a lack of reasonable expectation of privacy on a public road. It makes zero sense and certainly does not seem to fall within wiretapping. Could that mean he could effectively countersue for false charges? There seems to be zero legal basis for not being able to record from your vehicle in public places, which is exactly what a road is.

Your fine on the camera. No need to worry. And great work you’re doing!

Lookin’ good Carlos!
