“Please do not forget to include the good actions seen as acts of bravery and going out of their way to assist another human, animal or protecting the property of others. There are many ‘Good’ public servants out there and it’s our duty to let them know we appreciate them and it’s our duty to not ignore the bad ones. Ignoring a criminal act just because you are intimidated by the uniform or badge worn by the bad actor automatically makes you part of the problem and you effectively enable it to continue. Do your duty 365 day a year or wait till it happens to you, it’s your call.” Police Departments being encouraged to submit footage from their dashcams, back seat cams, holding cells, hallways and Sally Ports. Thanks.

This seems like “false light”.

Depends on whether your state recognizes false light as a workable cause of action. It is not universal.

If the cop did it, hang him by the short hairs and fire his boss. But let’s be sure he did it, first.

I bet they’d be HOWLING about inciting violence against officers, especially if (like the poster the police put up) the counter-posters included home addresses. I have little doubt criminal charges would follow.

I bet even if you only put up a poster about Sgt. Nicholson, the reaction would be the same.

If you aren’t doing anything illegal, then you have nothing to hide*. So quit acting like roaches and vermin by complaining about the daylight. If you truly have nothing to hide, then you shouldn’t be worried about them videotaping you and yours. If you DO have something to hide, then stop acting all high and mighty and DO SOMETHING about that. You’re supposed to be professionals in service to the community, for cripes sake!.

*I do take a measure of satisfaction in being able to use this particular line here, since it is used in the opposite direction so often.

BUT, a lot of commenters seem to be making hay about the spelling mistakes. Sure, they could be avoided, but who hasn’t made some mistakes while typing. It was just an informational flyer for internal use, I don’t fault them for being sloppy and/or doing it quickly.

The “officers” of the NYPD don’t need any help portraying themselves in a negative way.

The “officers” are crying crocodile tears because their abhorrent behavior has been recorded for all to see.

The “officers” should be ashamed of themselves for being used in such a manner, which directly contravenes their sworn oaths.

“Warning; the persons depicted above are responsible Citizens who know their legal rights. Their MO is to video record officers cutting corners, violating civil rights, and generally screwing around. Their purpose is to make it hard for sub-literate, terra-cotta toothed, violent thugs to reach retirement before getting fired or jailed. F’Christ’s-sake behave!”

and offer stacks of copies, free, to the police force.

Using MO (Modus Operandi or Method of Operation) on the poster suggests that what the “agitators” are doing is illegal. In the eyes of NYPD, then, promoting police accountability and transparency is criminal in nature. And stating that the purpose of these “agitators” is to deter officers from conducting their responsibilities just shows you how out of touch–or how committed to repression–the NYPD really is. If you don’t have anything to hide, officers, why do you care if you are being recorded?

And yes, I am a proud agitator.

This adds to the long list of evidence that indicates cops aren’t smart enough to qualify for other jobs.

So stay in school, kids, or you will end up in a dead-end job and become a low-life punk.

(Egads, the delicious irony of using a trademarked cop line to diss the cops)
