Ian Battles Do you truly believe the cops in these videos have the ability to think at that level? Metz is obviously not a very bright individual - the video clearly demonstrates his limited level of intelligence.
It's embarrassing to watch cops escalate a situation like that. He was flat out antagonizing and condescending. APD has become a cartoon of a police department.
It’s not just APD, it’s all over the country. We’re literally living with a standing army within the borders of this country and don’t realize it. When the sheeple wake up and realize it, it will be to late.
Let’s not forget that the cops in dem cities most likely are from dem cities. Those are libtard cops and it’s funny how tyrannical they are in their tyrant ran city.
This was five years ago! They know who he is. Called for backup as an intimidation tactic. Wasted taxpayers resources for no crime and was reluctant on identifying themselves as per policy. We the people win again even in the past! Great work!
That officer got out of the car and literally had no idea what to do and tried to avoid the situation by grabbing that radio as a distraction. My puppy does the exact same thing when I see that she's done something wrong.
***** Yes. And also she tries anything else she can to try and distract me from the situation. It's really cute. Unfortunately, the cop in this video showing the same behavior only shows he's not really ready for the job yet. And he's carrying a gun anway.
I can't believe that cop stood there and said your not being detained right now after following you around stalking....unbelievable and what a embarrassment to every police officer in that city...
It must be wonderful living in a country without crime, where the only job of appointed law enforcement officers is to follow those around who pay their salaries and protect them personally. Excellent service.
there's a lot of crimes. PIGS don't care about that bc that is hard work. they want to exert their control over innocent citizens and harass them bc that gets them the rush they want from a power trip without risking their lives. pigs
Lmao, this guy just panicked like holy hell... You called his ass out and he didn't know what too doo...... Ohh christ I'm so glad you got out of car and asked him wtf his problem was!!!
VERY NICE touch with the rear facing camera. A few of us at work were talking and were thinking of writing to our various state representatives and propose a neutral entity where police audio & video recording is uploaded, outside of law enforcement hands. It is public information paid for by public dollars after all. Just wanted to get your perspective on this.
The part that I loved the most is that you occupied that prick's time for at least 30 minutes for which he was unable to issue any tickets to anybody else. I also loved that you ended up behind him. Stay calm and stay safe !!!
Have you taking this video to the department and asked to speak with the Chief of Police an show this video? I would have also filed a formal complaint. I would also try to have charges filed against the Officer for Harassment and Stalking and Actions unbecoming of an Officer of the law. I would also question the Officers commander why he was doing the harassment and stalking of you why was he not doing is lawful duty and wasting the taxpayers dollars. I would also file for a restraining order against the Officer in the video. Using the video as evidence of the event. I would also try to meet with the City Manager after you have done what you need to do at the Police Station. The City Manager is above the Chief of Police.
You guys are awesome. You confronted them, something they did not think you would do and then you called him out and he had no fucking idea what to say. You sir are most definitely a hero.
You can sue the police departments for "aggressive stalking and harassment." They cannot follow you unless you are part of an investigation, or if you have conducted some suspicious activity. When the cop said " you are not being detained, you are free to go," then he has no reason to follow you. I would suggest to look at your legal options if that kind of illegal behavior from the police departments continues.
That's where Idk, for example, if you're doing something suspicious but not illegal, legally they can't detain you but is there anything to stop them from just following you around to alleviate their suspicion? I mean I really don't like cops but let's say they want to stay in the right of the law, they can't legally detain you but they can still observe you right? Meaning with qualified immunity, just following you around I'm sure there's nothing that can happen to them since they haven't violated your first amendment or your 4th so idk. It's probably the only thing they could do IMO
Citizen "just wondering why you are following, did Ido something wrong?" police "Your not detained, your free to go" I would have the officer upon stalking charges, video proof AND the total avoidance answering been followed question - what BS could this officer come up with in court
You can google this officer, even after 8 years. A year before this video (2014) he was suspended for crashing his police vehicle while speeding and endangering people. He did this while trying to catch up to a civilian he was following (for no reason). There is other stuff you can find but I won't post it here.
Man I tip my hat to you and your team. You guys are awesome. I'm learning quite a bit from you. I'm 56 years of age and I wish that I would have learned and exercise my Constitutional Rights.
Isn't his boss or sheriff the one that had no problem with his guys murdering the couple in Houston earlier this year? Then his officers shot each other? Their brilliant
That didn't turn out the way he thought. LMAO when you ended up following HIM. All he could think of was to call for backup. I hope Austin PD gets to see this.
This is why people are scared to get the police angry. Whether you embarrass them or file a complaint… they can make your life pretty miserable. Having cops follow you around has my anxiety up. They need to come up with new tactics though. Everything’s recorded now
Need to lead to an area where more videogarphers are on stand by and when they bring in another person you bring another person. I wonder how big of a party you could get going doing that.
Bunny Boots Ink Probably a bad idea to start making phone calls around police, they might get trigger happy under the auspices that you're a member of a militia. filmingcops.com/cop-shoots-unarmed-teen-boy-7-times-killing-him-on-the-side-of-the-road/
muteuser The officer should know better then to follow someone into that kind of situation and it would look bad when more and more cameras start showing up if they did that.
He doesn't have a hearing problem , the problem is the Domestic Police terrorist doesn't want to answer his questions because he would be liable for civil charges . as for being a human being he would get his ass kicked for the harassment had it been anyone else . the FACT the terrorist is wearing a badge and a gun mean you should have shot him dead and let the jury decide if you feared for YOUR life.
Nice job as usual. You should have had him get his supervisor so he could explain himself - he might not be so cocky after that. Don't get me wrong, he will still be stupid, but at least not cocky!! By the way, your partner did a nice job as well, they must have thought the "nice" cop routine would get them his name.
Absolutely disgusting. Both parties should be striving for fair and just oversight of the protection of their civil liberties and community.. There is no room for ego behind a badge. Or a bench. God, be with us all.
This is flat out retaliation and harassment by the officer. This is what we are spending tax dollars on? I never ever wanna hear that we don’t have enough money for feeding or housing homeless if we waste money like this on pettiness, harassment and retaliation by public officials. His is flat out unacceptable. I hope these guys filed harassment charges
My company did work for Metz several years ago think 15 years now. He just recently started harrassing my business online 15 years later suggesting we need to be investigated.
That's not policing. It's stalking. Amd if a civilian did this to a cop, it would be considered harassment. So sad to continually see these videos of officers who have no clue what the laws are.
Way to uphold your oath to the Constitution officer!! Stop harassing citizens!! This behavior is beyond disgraceful and needs to stop. This is criminal behavior done under the color of law!!
Wasting tax payer money and following a tax paying citizen and harrasing this none break the law but this cop has a ego trip and why we have cop like this
Why did they walk to your car like that? All while simultaneously leaving TWO Police Cars parked in the middle of the driving lanes in the parking lot WITHOUT sirens or lights to alert citizens that they would be left there? I would have asked him if he understood the relationship between parking spots and vehicles in parking lots….🙄🤨
That isn't policing. It is mob intimidation. They have slid a long way off their oaths when they resort to these tactics. Thing is that cop wouldn't even make decent muscle for the real mob.
This is a remarkable exchange, "Can you read?" What are these officers trying to accomplish? If it is to further distain for police, they have been successful.
They don't care if they know it's wrong because police do whatever they want to do with no consequences period! More people need to hold police accountable for their actions!
cops will escalate every situation... in this case, they escalated your 1st amendment rights, into stalking, intimidation, and harassment. One would think, as an officer, he would have been able to follow without being so clearly seen, which means they wanted you to know you were being followed... this also means that they most likely follow you in unmarked cars.
Do cops not realize that behaving like this just proves the activist correct?
Ian Battles Do you truly believe the cops in these videos have the ability to think at that level? Metz is obviously not a very bright individual - the video clearly demonstrates his limited level of intelligence.
NikonShooterPC I respectfully disagree. They are fully aware. They just don't care.
Ah, a "yo momma" joke, the pinnacle of a valid argument!
That's the worst part they don't care. Which show's all what kind of person they are.
No they do not. also this is how they train them so lots of times it's not them it's the training
It's embarrassing to watch cops escalate a situation like that. He was flat out antagonizing and condescending. APD has become a cartoon of a police department.
It’s not just APD, it’s all over the country. We’re literally living with a standing army within the borders of this country and don’t realize it. When the sheeple wake up and realize it, it will be to late.
When people they pull over respond with answers like that. What do you expect the cops to start answering with?
@@todddtyty9162 crazy part is they never pulled anyone over🤯
@@todddtyty9162 they didn't pull anyone over. They were stalking two citizens.
Let’s not forget that the cops in dem cities most likely are from dem cities. Those are libtard cops and it’s funny how tyrannical they are in their tyrant ran city.
You played that cop like a fiddle. Well done bro.
Like shooting fish in a barrel!! Opposite of finding a cop who follows the LAW?
billyBbad mollyholly - Until YOU have too go out there and Do it!🤔🙄😨🥵
This was five years ago! They know who he is. Called for backup as an intimidation tactic. Wasted taxpayers resources for no crime and was reluctant on identifying themselves as per policy. We the people win again even in the past! Great work!
They're behavior is so childish, the remarks so asinine & immature.
It’s criminal. Pure intimidation.
Butthurt babies.
ego's get hurt, so they play games, its what they do, nothing better to do than to stalk people and intimidate, pure sad really

I can't believe that cop stood there and said your not being detained right now after following you around stalking....unbelievable and what a embarrassment to every police officer in that city...
We truly live it in a Police State.
And Officer Metz is a smart-as*. I would have insulted that man until he cried. He looks like Gru from Dispicable Me.
@@MrChambers8109 just wait till AFTER they roll out CBDC'S/FEDNOW... "police state" would be the LEAST of our worries...
Is not a Police State, is a Power Trip State as this are individuals that supposed to protect the citizens not intimidating them by their immunity
"I'm being called out for childish bullshit...I need some backup." LMAO
He had a utility belt full of weapons, but he was scared. What a coward.
I said it before....give them a uniform and they think they are God.

I missed that silver lining.
My thought was two officers are being paid by the tax-dollars to just harass these two (in a very ineffective way).

Can you make a FOIA on this officer for the date and time he was following to see what he was calling in or if he had his dash cam on?
Yah you need to do that
Metz was kicked off our HS football team , he got caught sniffing the used jockstraps......
Richard Carey 😮😭😂😂😂😂😂
That fella in the shorts is a dork. You totally called him out. But I would have told him to get away from the car.
You guys are awesome. You confronted them, something they did not think you would do and then you called him out and he had no fucking idea what to say. You sir are most definitely a hero.

Yes, but that requires some "work".................these guys are CLOWNS!......they do this for CZcams dollars.
I would have driven in figure 8's all day.

police "Your not detained, your free to go"

It's like, watching 5 year old bullies in the playground. I love these types of video's :)
Need to put Benny Hill music to this video
No kidding- lol!
So true!!! That would've been AMAZING!! 😂😂😂 Not too late though!!! 😆😆😆
This is the behavior auditors are exposing.
If officers are harassing and arresting people just for filming then what else are they up to.
Man I tip my hat to you and your team. You guys are awesome. I'm learning quite a bit from you. I'm 56 years of age and I wish that I would have learned and exercise my Constitutional Rights.
I️ love how this dude is calm and smooth as butter I️ LOVE IT much respect to you and salute for your courage!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Isn't his boss or sheriff the one that had no problem with his guys murdering the couple in Houston earlier this year? Then his officers shot each other? Their brilliant
Have you noticed in every single video of LEO's, whenever they get asked an awkward question, they ALWAYS start chatting shit on the radio.
That is by far the most immature cop ever in the existence of cops. Really? We pay idiots like this to protect us? No way.
That didn't turn out the way he thought. LMAO when you ended up following HIM. All he could think of was to call for backup. I hope Austin PD gets to see this.

God, be with us all.
Not trying to typecast, but this to me looks like the perfect face example of a coward bully.
Bro requested back up to answer a question? I hope this guy was fired, what a terrible cop.
Excellent work citizen! Love how that pos leo lost you in a parking lot and you spooked the hell out of him from behind. Hahahaa!
Abolish law enforcement. NO, you are NOT going to fix it.
Very combative police officers. Kept making smart remarks to you in hopes that you would get out of hand.
This is flat out retaliation and harassment by the officer. This is what we are spending tax dollars on? I never ever wanna hear that we don’t have enough money for feeding or housing homeless if we waste money like this on pettiness, harassment and retaliation by public officials. His is flat out unacceptable. I hope these guys filed harassment charges
Law abiding citizen: Please identify yourself.
Cops: You can read can't you?!
Law abiding citizen: You can read the law, can't you?
This is the goofyest cat on the force
My company did work for Metz several years ago think 15 years now. He just recently started harrassing my business online 15 years later suggesting we need to be investigated.
I loved the fake radio call the cop made at the beginning of the interaction.
“I need backup, I’m harassing this citizen and he’s not taking my shit”
That's not policing. It's stalking. Amd if a civilian did this to a cop, it would be considered harassment. So sad to continually see these videos of officers who have no clue what the laws are.
Citizen asks legitimate question of law enforcement officer; cop answers another question.
That reaching for the radio I'm starting to believe is an insecure reflex
lmao notice how he pulled out his radio called for help because you questioned him
I've never seen this footage before, he looks like he wanted to kick your ass. Anything ever come from this in regards to him following you?
This is exactly what's wrong with the police. Harassment. why.....
He's Uncomfortable as hell, LOVE IT!!
Plan and simple, he made a total ass of himself.
Cops REALLY, really hate the cameras! Lol
Metz would be known as a drongo in Australia, very low intelligence is obviously a key qualification for officers in Austin PD.
For officers in America, a high IQ will disqualify you
The extra inspection of their car by the cops seems to be retaliation for filming them...
Just found your channel. Love the way you stick it to these mfs man, just subscribed!
Way to uphold your oath to the Constitution officer!! Stop harassing citizens!! This behavior is beyond disgraceful and needs to stop. This is criminal behavior done under the color of law!!
"After losing the officer we end up behind him", hahahaha :-)
That’s a child who likes to “play cop”.
How does this not go against the Austin PD policy of not being allowed to intimidate someone who is filming?
Wasting tax payer money and following a tax paying citizen and harrasing this none break the law but this cop has a ego trip and why we have cop like this
Typical cop, all those parking spaces yet he parks in the middle of the road 😒
You should have told him to get his supervisor on scene.
That is one strikingly overstaffed and overfunded department
thank you for leaving the full video in comments i hate when people dont do that it’s easy new viewers to a vid
I believe you call that a pissing match.
The way the piggy waving around his arm saying you are not being detained right now, like he is using a Jedi mind trick 😂
You know that guy is never going to get to retirement
Why did they walk to your car like that? All while simultaneously leaving TWO Police Cars parked in the middle of the driving lanes in the parking lot WITHOUT sirens or lights to alert citizens that they would be left there? I would have asked him if he understood the relationship between parking spots and vehicles in parking lots….🙄🤨
I can tell you right now that guy in the short pants has a boyfriend at home.
Disgusting, egregious, unprofessional behavior from these police officers
That isn't policing. It is mob intimidation. They have slid a long way off their oaths when they resort to these tactics. Thing is that cop wouldn't even make decent muscle for the real mob.
I hope you went and filed a formal complaint against the officer for harassing you!
This is a remarkable exchange, "Can you read?" What are these officers trying to accomplish? If it is to further distain for police, they have been successful.
If a regular person was looking into a car like that cops would roll up “we saw you looking in cars”
They don't care if they know it's wrong because police do whatever they want to do with no consequences period! More people need to hold police accountable for their actions!
APD are the worse!!!! I've been harassed a couple of times for no reason!!!!!
Thank you for the video. I love your work. Very good job.
Problem officer here. We’ll hear from him again.
cops will escalate every situation... in this case, they escalated your 1st amendment rights, into stalking, intimidation, and harassment.
One would think, as an officer, he would have been able to follow without being so clearly seen, which means they wanted you to know you were being followed... this also means that they most likely follow you in unmarked cars.
that foolish cop following you it made it look like a video game.
Holy hell. Metz has a battering ram for a night stick.
He's making up for his other shortcomings....
"Did you not get enough footage earlier"
"No just trying to figure out why your following me"
"Fuck"
The red flag law would eliminate every cop from ever owning a gun. They would all have to pass a psychological evaluation. They can't.
this is how they came up with mall cop movies.
That cop realized he busted he was recording the cop following him the entire time tbh 😂🤣
What a tax waster.... and lame attempt at intimidation
Next time remind this cops, there is a Federal Law against...STALKING !!!!
It's HIGHLY unlikely those cops can read!!!!
man he was on you like white on rice. if he didnt act so creepy he wouldnt be on youtube
Looked him up, found a public document stating that he had been suspended about a year before for driving negligently.
What’s with the stick!! Damn tyrants!!!
Hunting - stalking- then when you approach- he calls for backup!!!
Psychopath cop!!
