Filming Cops For Scared People

When you are filming police try not to talk to them. Avoid:

"Is it OK if I film?" (That isn't up to them.)
"Sorry officer." (You have done nothing wrong don't apologize.)

Try things like.
"I am filming from a safe distance."

If they start yelling at you focus on:

"Am I free to leave?"

Every time I've said this the officer has responded with "shut up" (ok??)
I'm happy to comply with *that* one and keep filming from a safe distance.

If you have a fediverse account, you can quote this note from your own instance. Search https://sauropods.win/users/futurebird/statuses/115978104932988250 on your instance and quote it. (Note that quoting is not supported in Mastodon.)
