Hey, I'll I'll cut the kids out. I'm not live streaming, so when I edit it, I'll cut the kids out. Yeah. Yeah. A lot more friendly than I mean, they're they're still uncomfortable with cameras, but, you know, getting used to it, right? I I think that's just anybody. You You walk up somebody that, you know, if if you don't know somebody and they walk up with a camera in your face, they're not saying anything. They're just Yeah. Well, the camera in your face, that's going to make anybody uncomfortable. Yeah. But, I understand that. Well, we're breaking it down, though. It's a public place. It's It's within y'all's right to do, so It'll become less and less uncomfortable, though. That's what you want to do is express your own private thoughts. Yeah. Well, I mean, to me it's uh we we still see uh Sorry, hold on. We still see officers trying to take cameras away from people on traffic stops and while they're actually filming the police in a in a situation where they really need to film, or even filming, you know, if I come to pay my water bill. I feel like I should be able to document everything that I do with my government agents. And I can certainly understand that, but you know, from the the police officer's standpoint, you know, a lot of times, especially when it occurs at night, Mhm. uh and you for instance, the the type of device that you have there. Come on in, man. Yeah, we're we're just making sure that the with the the handle underneath it, Oh. you know, when we've had guys that have tried to uh uh coax the officers into doing stuff by, you know, coming right up on them with their holding the camera right out like that. You know, that you know, especially when the officer can't see it. And you know, there there there's guys that are trying to stir a reaction. You know. Well, we're you know, I'll tell you that for me it's it's to break the government down and get them used to it. Obviously, this is abnormal to them, right? Well, we're making it normal. You know what I mean? After it happens again and again and again, it's going to become normal. So. don't take this wrong because I'm not trying to pull you or anything like that, but it would be well within my right to get right up here in your face and act just like this. But obviously, that would make somebody uncomfortable because that's not normal behavior. know, that's questionable. And that and and that's You got about a 3-ft personal space that if you get into can be considered a an aggressive approach and uh I'd be well within my rights to defend myself against that. Yeah, I'm just saying. being aggressive. I'm just getting up here so I can talk to you. Yeah. And again, I I perfectly agree with you. That would make me uncomfortable if somebody's getting in my personal space. Uh-huh. Now, within the the law, I'm within my legal right to do so, but it's not it's not uh I I think the I think the biggest problem is that police are starting to allow us to film and they're not tackling us and tasing us, but I But But you guys still aren't realizing the point of it though. And the point is that we need to be able to constantly watch our government agents all the time. And And that's the biggest problem that I'm seeing like we we we met this bar down here where you allow it without tasing people and tackling them, but we need to get it to the point where the police respect our rights, uh, because they actually believe in them as well. And And I don't think we're there yet, but we'll get there. It'll take years. But I I think a lot of times the in in trying to make y'all's point with that, y'all go to the point of interfering with the officer's job. No. What they're trying to do. And maybe not like what you're doing right here, but, you know, when when we have officers that are out, you know, they may be sitting in a neighborhood running radar. And That's the Those are the times when we may be sitting trying to watch a known drug house, something like that. Those are the times when we need to be there, up close and personal, filming the officers in their in their, uh, official capacity. But understand that that also interferes with the officer's ability to keep the public safe. No, it doesn't. No. So. Have you ever thought about obeying the law? Have you ever thought about obeying the law? Did you guys have any really bright lights that you could shine in my eyes while I'm trying to film you? No. Just curious. Dude, get the light out of my eyes. That thing is powerful. Point it at the ground if you want to see me. POINT IT AT THE GROUND. I just put it down. See if there is any popcorn. Bye. Thank you.
