Antonio Buehler of The Peaceful Streets Project-Austin encounters this officer who doesn’t act professional.
It appears this officer may have trouble following simple traffic laws. Wonder what this stop was for…

Excellent work as always Antonio, keep them on their toes and off of ours.
If I had been the one pulled over, I’d have shaken your hand for filming.
White cruisers with light bars are meant for presence, visibility, and CRIME deterrence. Black cruisers (esp. with no light bars) are meant for stealth, attacking the public at large (on this side of the blue line), and revenue generation.
“You have to tell me!” No, not really…Buehler’s rant and tone reminded me of the yellow guy from Sin City.
Well, atleast you didn’t get arrested this time, seems you are learning.
Where do you guys get this “you’ve got to tell me your name and badge number” stuff? I don’t even have to talk or acknowledge you at all, if you aren’t part of what I’m dealing with. Surprised he didn’t get arrested for standing in the street. What a continuing tool.
t, because you work for us. We have every right to know who you are and what your ID is. Don’t like it? Get a job doing productive work.
What an idiot. He walked up on a scene and distracted the LEO. The LEO can tell you where to stand. He was to much of an idiot to realize how stupid he looked. Someday a stupid activist is going to walk up on a scene and disrupted it. Then someone will get hurt or worse. Then there will be legislation to put a leash on these animals. The LEO owned him big time in the video. It was hilarious.
Haha someone’s panties were in a wad once he realized the cop wasn’t taking his bait.
He doesn’t have to tell you jack shit.
I’ve been a cop for 19 years, with two different agencies. Neither have a policy or rule which requires me to identify myself to every jerk weed stomping around the streets asking. We do have a policy requiring us to wear name tags. You got eyes, you can see my name. If you can’t read, that’s your problem not mine.
@ Buford, t, Common, and underoath…
Ok this may take a minute for all you cops out there with low IQ’s to comprehend, but here is the Austin Police department Policy on providing I.D. Enjoy!
801.2.1 DEPARTMENT ISSUED IDENTIFICATION
The Department issues each employee an official Department identification card (APD ID)
bearing the employee’s name, identifying information and photo likeness.
(d) Employees shall present their issued APD ID card in a courteous manner to any person upon request and as soon as practicable whenever on-duty, acting in an official capacity, or representing the Department.
900.4.4 DUTY TO IDENTIFY
(a) Unless doing so would jeopardize an undercover officer or a covert operation, employees will furnish the name and identification number of any employee, including themselves, to any person requesting such information regarding matters in which the employee was acting in an official capacity. Names of employees will be given in sufficient form to fully identify the employee.
(b) Sworn employees taking police action while not in uniform will, as soon as possible, display their police badge or APD ID and state the purpose for taking police action.
(c) Employees will provide the name and business telephone number of their immediate supervisor upon request by any person.

These policies are in place so that officers such as the one in video, who like to bark unlawful orders can be properly identified and held responsible for their actions.
@ doughnut boys
I’ll get that you don’t have to ID on demand. But T said if you are uninvolved you can ignore them entirely. THEN DO SO. Ignore the filmers like you should. By now all cops know filming is legal, and that ordering people so far away or to stop is not legal.
But the moment you issue an order, YOU changed that. You can’t just give any order you please, but you don’t want to ID so your illegal orders can’t be challenged.
Im sure this officer would want to know if my hands were registered, so why not give the common curtsy of a name?
Someone said it long ago….cops for the most part don’t know the law….only money making laws they they care about….
As for BTJ
19 years I can only imagine how fat you really are..
A department policy is just that, a policy, not a stature or law.
Bunghole was acting like a cock and was ignored. He can file a complaint, and in 4 or 5 months, he’ll get a letter saying the investigation was concluded with no finding of wrongdoing. Had Buehler not acted like a fuck hole, maybe he’d been spoken too, not ignored..
Haha I was thinking of phrases to describe the guy….
Fuck hole fits perfectly.
I want to know where’s Glen????
Hey badgeabuse- I still run down 19 year old punks and wrestle bikers who think they are tough. I bet you’d shit your pants from fear the first time a big ugly biker on parole looks you in the eye and says he’s not going back to prison.

^^^^The above quoted text is from “tx gvt code”
Dude: Just asking….what does any of that have to do with what happened here or what is being discussed? My ID has that same info on it. Don’t I don’t have to show it to you just because you want to see it.
Just asking.
It seems to me any cop that does not identify himself is obviously guilty of something. What does the bible say? The guilty flee when non pursue them?
POLICE OFFICER RAPES A THREE MONTH OLD INFANT AND A ONE YEAR OLD CHILD!
When you see common sense, t., underoath, psosgt and all the other shills spew their boot-licking propaganda here on Cop Block, remember, THIS IS WHO THEY ARE, THIS IS WHAT THEY STAND FOR, AND THIS IS WHAT THEY DEFEND!
Wichita KS police officer Officer Joseph T. McGill, 28, was convicted today of committing a sexual act on a 3-month-old child and a 1-year-old child. Officer McGill pleaded guilty in January 2012 in an unrelated case to sexual battery while on duty as a police officer and was sentenced to three years probation. Those charges stemmed from separate incidents in November 2010 and February 2011. The judge set sentencing for March 1.

I can’t think of a single job that doesn’t require the person identify themselves while on the clock. And this video shows one of the cop’s bosses asking him to identify himself. Without a badge, failing to answer your boss gets you fired.
@t
(b) The identification card must include:
… …
(9) a phone number operational 24 hours a day, seven days a week that a person may call to verify the validity of the identification card.
I believe when the house act came into effect that created this legislation, that was persuasive to the police departments of texas to make an official policy to id officers, and from the inclusion of the above clause where people must be able to phone in to verify the ID, it implies an obligation by cops to show id when requested. It’s probably not a statutory crime per se to not id himself, but it certainly raises a question of impropriety to say the least.
One of his bosses? Really? We just entered a level of stupid that we can never return from.
Police ID, like all of the stuff you quoted…is to identifiy me when I’m coming to you and there is a question for some reason that I might not be a pro.ice officer. Nothing in what you listed has anything to do with some nut job on the street screaming for my name. One simply has nothing to do with the other.
Sayers: really? I can’t think of one that does other than some customer service areas. And even there its usually just a first name. Swing and miss.
Antonio, your an asshole, the officer should of got of his “unmarked” vehicle and split your head open then charge you with Disorderly conduct
ha ha ha, North Philly for the win…
I’d like to take a momnent of laughter at the passing of Dykes and a raised glass of IPA to the FBI HRT. How’s the whole murder, kidnap of a child so you could rant about FEMA and gun control work for you Dykes? Dykes? Oh, that’s right..
You the last thought he had in this world, HOLY SHIT! What was that loud noise?”
..and then the muffled ‘chink – chink – chink’ of a suppressed weapon cycling.
Goodnight yah crazy fuck…
Your one of the few that still has honor, Antonio. Keep the vermin in line. God bless.
Thank you for your service.
@t:
When the cop starts telling him where to stand, is he acting as a “government official”, “under color of law” in an “official capacity?”
Or is he speaking as just one private citizen to another?
This topic only has so many replies because the “LEO”s here know they’re up against a wall, are scared because they know times are changing and they badly want things to go back the way they were. I’m happy to see it.
@1605 no, the topic has so many replies because the “LEO’s” are responding to the uninformed rants of people that have no idea what they are talking about. This officer in the video wasn’t “scared”! How would you feel if you were on a traffic stop and trying to ascertain the statis of the vechicle and it’s occupants, when some idiot with a camera and his “partner” come up behind you. For that persons safety and the safety of the officer he needs to put the videographer in a position where he can observe him and the vehicle. He has no idea who that person with the camera is or what his intent is. If once he’s done with the traffic stop and the individual with the camera did nothing but watch/film the interaction then all is fine.
Come on you guys give these cops their space so they can do their jobs. You crowd them or get yourself into a bad position it could most certainly not end well for you. If you want to film get a telephoto lens and film. The stop does not involve you so stay the hell out of the way!!!
@ common sense
Once again common sense has shown the lack of accountability this site is drawing attention too.
And I quote…
“Bunghole was acting like a cock and was ignored. He can file a complaint, and in 4 or 5 months, he’ll get a letter saying the investigation was concluded with no finding of wrongdoing.”
This shows an officer can violate policy and not be held accountable for violating their own rules. Thanks for pointing out the double standard once again.
@kaz
Oh, I’m sure the sgt will hand down some verbal counseling over beers…probably…maybe…
Your inner scumbag is showing, Common.
Cops don’t have an inner scumbag, they pin their scumbag on to their costume at the start of each shift.
You cop fanboys out there really need to tone it down.
Sometimes a department policy is better than a penal code to use against a police officer.
It’s pretty standard for a department to have a policy requiring their employees to identify themselves when asked. It’s always good to at least ask a police officer for their name (and card if you feel like it) to see if they plan to follow their department’s policies.
This cop started the conversation. He told them to get away from his car. Therefore he has brought the guy with the camera into the conversation.
So like it or not the guy with the camera now has a reasonable expectation to know the name of the officer ordering him to do something he doesn’t agree with.
Now yelling at the cop and calling him a coward. That’s counter productive. The trolling, arguing, and antagonizing is just that. So stop.
If you want to “observe” a police officer performing his duties. That’s fine. It could get boring.. but that’s our right and thank you for exercising it.
Antonio – Keep up the good work. You are a modern day civil rights hero.
I can’t believe a guy getting paid Salary
$66,814 before overtime in TX can’t be professional enough or trained enough to deal with public in a respectful way.
But see, that’s the rub. If you just filmed, no one would care. Cops pulls someone over, writes a ticket, or not, takes someone to jail, or not. Cop drives away…
But, person filming attempts to shout, interject, initate a confrontation hoping to get a cop to react, or person stopped, all for the sake of ‘accountablilty?’
Sorry. You even fail at filming, be cause you can’t simply ‘just film.’ And that’s why Bunghole was found guily the last time.
Wow…Good video of nothing. Way to be obnoxious.
Sorry Common, the ‘officer’ initiated the conversation.
I’m all for holding the police accountable and all the other good stuff,but the guy that was shooting the video here was just being a dick.
The cop had someone pulled over and was writing a ticket – If you want to film the process, fine, but why try to provoke the officer and act like a disrespectful asshole?
B”H
Common and Jeremy
Antonio may be a bit uptight or chip on his shoulder but he should.
Over a yr since his arrest jan 1 2012 and prosecutor still waiting on convening grand jury?
They are stalling to avoid having to release dashcam tape from officer obortski
Fuck all you cop haters. I hope you need a cop someday & they remember your dumb ass & let you die!!
You are 45% less likely to die if a cop doesn’t show up.That’s a made up statistic using the same thought process as cops use.
Wow.. reading though this, and reading some of the LEO
s responses is quite shameful. Obviously arrogance and idiocy seem to go hand in hand with those who posted. Seriously lame.
