Santa Ana PD release a statement on Twitter acknowledging the video. Santa Ana PD told Vice that using squad car audio system is not department policy. YouTube won't always remove a video for copyright infringement. Sometimes the site will place an ad on the video, with proceeds going to the copyright holder.

Had a problem with music showing up in videos that he was responding to that had copyrighted music in the background. They make software now that'll remove the copyrighted music believe the content intact. He used that to reupload a bunch of his videos.
What I'm saying is that this is going to work for very long.-
Well maybe this could be a good thing. Maybe it will stop YouTube and the copyright cartel from removing everything that is fair use just because an algorithm said it wasn't.

Do you have a link to that software?

Disney, or whoever the rights holders are really need to go after this clown for unauthorized public performance of their work. Easy win in court with the video as evidence, and good pr for them.
-
The real problem is that the cop is interfering with the public's right to monitor him doing his job and share their results. When the cop realizes he's talking to a city councilmember, he becomes a lot more respectful. That's the way he should have been from the start.

Bad cop. Bad cop. What'cha goin' do when they kill you too? Bad cop. Bad cop.

Bad cops, bad cops,
Bad cops, bad cops,
Bad cops, bad cops,
Springfield Cops are on the take,
But what do expect for the money we make?
Whether in a car or on a horse,
We don't mind using excessive force!
Bad cops, bad cops,
Bad cops, bad cops...

There are no good cops. There are only bad cops, and bad cops who are trying to cover up that they and their buddies are bad cops.

The public's right to record police actions includes the right to film a cop blaring copyrighted music without permission. The cop is the one violating copyright law. The video is covered by fair use, since it's evidence of a crime.
-
Maybe you haven't dealt with automated systems like this before, so I'll give you an example of how a situation like this may play out:
1) Copyright Infringement Algorithm doesn't care or understand about niche corner cases, so it simply drops/bans the infringing content once it detects any violation.
2) The original poster now gets to file a complaint into yet another automation driven system, where again, such a niche case isn't expected, so it is automatically denied.
3) Since an appeal case was filed and c-
The problem is, once an accusation is made - whether by an automated system or by a licensing troll - that a video is in copyright violation, it's then the video owner's duty to prove their innocence, rather than the accuser's duty to prove their guilt.
This law was intentionally written backwards from the start.
-
yeah, law doesn't matter to dmca bots
-
And that's the problem.
The automated system doesn't know about corner cases, but without automated systems, the sheer volume of content couldn't be handled at all.
Kinda like a Catch22

It is an admitted attempt by a governmental entity to stop the diffusion of protected speech. This should immediately be pounced upon by anybody wanting to protect constitutional rights. Yet.... I see a strange vacuum of apathy around this.
-
-
Yes - that's the real problem. But sometimes real problems have sneaky cheap fixes. You can't play copyrighted music in public without paying royalties.

Being right for the wrong reasons isn't always a bad thing if your endgame's the same as people who are right for the right reasons.

Agree 100% but.... in the end the taxpayers will pay the fine. We need CRIMINAL charges for police misbehavior, fines simply get passed to the department. This is a minor case as things go (he didn't shoot anyone) but it was still an attempt to prevent citizens from engaging in a legal activity .
-
Is a study that shows how much police abuse and bad cops cost the taxpayers in lawsuits and other miscellaneous expenses. I mean there's a reason why the captain in those eighties cops movies was always pissed at the loose Cannon. If the cop is doing more damage than the criminals do we really want that?
Oh and as others have pointed out cops have a ridiculously low rate of catching murderers and serial killers. If anyone else was that bad at their jobs they get fired...
It just doesn't seem to be a g

Smart and almost hilarious; but also definitely a dick move
-
It's not even smart, because it literally never works and has been tried numerous times. They are literally too stupid to continue to do their job. They have no critical thinking skills. This cop is only suited for something like a manufacturing line, where they do something repetitive and simple.
-
Like pulling a trigger.

It says a lot about law enforcement and US copyright laws. Deep Mouse has the most censorship power of anybody.
-
-
can they do this to stop cop cam videos from being put out into the public?
Can Disney DMCA an video like that? DMCA the court room tv?
-
Yes, and automatically too, but maybe not with that music. Some music is only tagged to take your monetization, but a small fraction is tagged to prevent the video from playing at all. One that I know for sure will block a video is Hotel California. If someone is trying to video you, play that and they will at least have to edit out the audio before posting.
-
and then the city can be found in volition of law for not putting the video out unedited.
Even in a count room? And say due to some DMCA issue in where they can't give it to the defense attorney then it's an mistrial maybe with prejudice or even Prosecutorial Misconduct
-
-
Cops just turn off their body cams. There are no punishments or repercussions for doing so.
-
Disney could use the DMCA to take the video down from YouTube probably; however, most likely Disney will simply get all the revenue from the video.
If your question is whether Disney can prevent the court from seeing the video as evidence in a trial using the DMCA, the answer is definitely no. The fair use of the video in a criminal matter would outweigh any copyright claims. If your question is whether the video can shown to the public during a trial, there are measures the court could do like mute the musi

When can we expect the suspension without pay penalty? It is, after all, the only punishment that will have any ringing effect.
Let the fraternal order of police rally together to support this dumb fuck during their mandatory sabbatical. After that time is served, let them return to their job with some dignity, they're already going to get fucked with by all of their peers for the next year or so, perhaps forever.
Do _not_ give this officer suspension with pay, that's just an unplanned paid vacation period. But also, don't fuck this person out of their livelihood just because they screwed up - use it to teach them a lesson, and send a message to their peers.
-
I'd rather see him fired to be honest. Did you miss the part where he turned his body cam off when he pulled this stunt?
Ain't nobody entitled to be a cop. Let him find another job. That would send a message. -
yeah, not gonna happen
cops protect other cops, not people
-
-
*All cops are bastard coated bastards with bastard filling.
-
So, citizens were only recording the cops to document the copyright abuse by officers, in a public broadcast of Disney intellectual property.
-
Correct me if I'n wrong but couldn't the videos uplkader set the video as nin monatized, iirc this stops the dmca bots from scanning it, byt I could be wrong.
