Question

If cop's are so truthful why do they arrest people filming cop beat people?

Answer 1

I seriously doubt that the person filming is not arrested strictly for filming the incident, as this is not possible.  The person filming was more than likely interfering with the investigation or swearing at the officers.  Either of these will definitely land a person in the lock up.

Answer 2

Legally cops have no right to arrest people who film or take their picture in public.

The Supreme Court has ruled taking a picture in public is allowed as long as it does not interfere with the investigation.

Cops dont like being caught doing something illegal or abusive so they try to censor it.
