a situation where people see how far they can go. and also i think they can handle a police officer a bit differently than they would otherwise in situations like that it's important to nip that in the bud and take direct action and say ok up to this point and no further. it's the c.n.n. will miss vida. when the police go off duty they hand the recorded video footage to their superior officer he has special software allowing him alone to copy save or delete the videos. where is your idea your marco and mr marco have you got a last name the body can records both images and sound. i'm not at all happy that you're here ruining the mood. now i've got the camera turned on because of the color saying you're aggressive i'm not why you yelling here i'm not yelling at all now i'm going to search for your id papers no i don't have any idea on me are you
