In reply to the discussion: Police under review for blasting Disney songs to keep videos off social media [View all]Claire Oh Nette
(2,636 posts)11. A work around for social media audit channels
Cops are not doing anything different. People have cameras now. So do cops, although they're often conveniently turned off. Police know they're on film, and they don't want the public to see how they behave.
We really need to define what it is we need police for. My own encounters involve speeding tickets, and cops showing up after our house was burglarized twice when I was growing up. They never found either set of suspects, despite the fact I was at the police chief's house working on an English project with his daughter at the time.
Maybe the police should police better, so they're not fearful of social media posts.

OP
Seems particularly Kafkaesque to have police authoritarianism come with a family-friendly soundtrack

This incident has absolutely nothing to do with Disney - it's the Santa Ana cops.

Like I said there's literally an entire 30 Rock episode devoted to Tracy Jordan doing this.

Yes, but this is about cops using music that YouTube and TikTok algorithms identify as copyrighted.

Darren, right wingers are all anti-Disney now because they Disney criticized Florida governor

The cop was playing copyrighted music in the hopes that any video of his car search would be pulled

So, if you're pulled over and the cops start playing music, figure you're in for a beating.

Yep. I was thinking that too. Apparently a lot of people are above the law in this country

That's literally the same thing Tracy Jordan did to get out of his wife's reality show.

If Disney wanted to do the right thing, they could go after Santa Ana police
