San Diego PD harassing Acoustic Musician

submitted by Mordhaus

1 decade 11 months 2 weeks ago

In this video, taken from a citizen’s camera in San Diego, an unnamed officer is shown harassing an individual for playing acoustic music. In the video, the citizen has in his possession a copy of the local civic codes and is attempting to establish what laws that he is allegedly breaking, but is unable to do so. When the citizen asks for clarification of his rights and the applicable rights, he is told by the officer; “I can tell you, but I won’t.” and later the officers says; “ I know the law, but not the exact numbers…” and then implies that it is the citizens job to “look it up”.

A quick looky at the San Diego Municipal Code concerning Noise Abatement and Control....Reminding all, that these and ALL enforcement of statutes is left to the discretion of individual patrol cops (not the brightest bulbs in the fixture)
"Loud or raucous yelling, shouting, hooting, whistling or singing on the public streets between the hours of 10:00 p.m. and 8:00 a.m., or at any time or place, is hereby prohibited."

Since these guys were not using any amplification, they did not fall into that category of noise-If they were doing it after the hours posted that would be an issue, IF they were violating a noise ordinance.

Whats truly fucked is that if in fact these guys were NOT breaking any laws, then arguing with a fucking idiot dressed as a cop would be the offense warranting arrest, and it looks as if this particular fuzz is trying to coerce the guy into an arrest.

This cops a fucking tool. He should trade in his badge for a job with a collection agency or as a private valet for another prick like him.

the musician seemed to be trolling a bit, as well.
I know a few douches like this who are looking for any opportunity to assert their "rights," regardless of whomever else might be impinged in the process.
