This "officer" says that stupidity is not illegal, but is stupidity an asset when it comes to joining the police force?

I'm happy the cops are doing their job, Joono.
Sorry for the man who was trying to get recognition for the aboriginal diggers.
Maybe he should campaign with educational institutions re Australia's history, instead of breaking the law.

So, they would steal (sieze) this person's camera unless he agreed to turn a copy of his video to their department. Then they are gonna trust him to do that?
Is it just me, or does anyone else see the condisoning going on here. Their need to flex their position, to have people submit and comply. They obviously lied about why they need the video, They ultimatly didn't even want the video and don't care if or not this guy brings them a copy. They just wanted that agreement from him that he would, that compliance, that recognition of their athority. Goes to a big shot hero complex.
I'm gonna tell you what the police really are. Think about any one kind of criminal. Theif, robber, rapist, kidnapper, pedifile, bully, ect, Imagine they all formed a club, or gang, branched out into divisions like sheriff, local city, state patrol, mapped out theit teritory or juristiction, came up with rules, or laws that they could easally twist the meaning of to justify every horrable thing they might want to do to their victims. Then lastly, sell themselves as being of some benifit to the community.
When in truth, at best they are only responders after the fact. They document incidents, many times with false information, many times creating the incident themselves where there otherwise would be none. The supreeme court has rulled that cops do not have to stop or solve crime even if its taking place right in front of them. Many will stop a real crime commited by one who isn't a cop sending them the message that "if you want to do this, become one of us"
There you have it a basic run down of what police are

Joanie, the police tried to intimidate the reporter. They tried to sound all official but came across sounding as uneducated bogans.
They weren't brave enough or informed enough to challenge the reporter's credentials.
They didn't seize the camera. major point in their favour.

Although, in that video I got the sense that the police, knowing they were on video (by a self-confessed SBS reporter, no less) "modified" their reponse.
Cameras as a defensive weapon? who knew?

I'm pretty sure the reporter Myles Morgan is also indigenous

So what if he is or isn't, whats that got to do with anything.

possibly quite a bit, considering they way they tried to intimidate him.

Icy if you think for one split nanosecond that this journo from SBS was 'breaking' the law you are even more educationally challenged than you first appear
it was wrong, wrong wrong, what the AFP did was WRONG....their attitude sucked and they syhould be ashamed of themselves

Who do you accuse of breaking the law?
The ex-submariner or the journalist?
