Sometimes you just don't want to be recorded for upload/stream to the internet. I'm kinda impressed with the level of thinking displayed by police officers in Beverly Hills. Modern problems require modern solutions, etc.
"Sennett Devermont was at the department to file a form to obtain body camera footage from an incident in which he received a ticket he felt was unfair. Devermont also happens to be a well-known LA area activist, who regularly live-streams protests and interactions with the police to his more than 300,000 followers on Instagram.
In a video posted on his Instagram account, we see a mostly cordial conversation between Devermont and BHPD Sgt. Billy Fair turn a corner when Fair becomes upset that Devermont is live-streaming the interaction, including showing work contact information for another officer. Fair asks how many people are watching, to which Devermont replies, “Enough.”
Fair then stops answering questions, pulls out his phone, and starts silently swiping around—and that’s when the ska music starts playing."
Kind of hilarious, and designed to get the clips or accounts copyright pinged by the media platform. They probably save it for the annoying and special people in their professional life.
