A Florida man who video records himself playing pranks on various members of the public is known to take some risky chances, including giving strangers wedgies and kisses, which his followers love.

However, when Charles Ross decided to run up to a pair of Sarasota deputies sitting on a park bench last November and flip over them, they weren’t very impressed.

Nor did they seem very motivated to arrest him, telling him they would arrest him if he dared do that one more time.

But then they noticed the camera and decided to arrest him for disorderly conduct and resisting arrest and even threatened to delete his footage.

Cops dont do themselves any favors by behaving like this.

Wearing that uniform does strange things to people's minds.

Ruining days and lives seems to be at the top of their agenda.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contempt_of_cop

Contempt of cop is law enforcement jargon in the United States for behavior by citizens towards law enforcement officers that the officers perceive as disrespectful or

insufficiently deferential to their authority.[SUP][1][/SUP][SUP][2][/SUP][SUP][3][/SUP][SUP][4][/SUP]

The phrase is associated with arbitrary arrest and detention and is often discussed in connection to police misconduct such as use of excessive force or even police brutality[SUP][5][/SUP] as a reaction to disrespectful behavior[SUP][6][/SUP] rather than for any legitimate law enforcement purpose.[SUP][7][/SUP]

Arrests for "contempt of cop" may stem from a type of "occupational arrogance" when a police officer thinks he or she should not be challenged or questioned.[SUP][8][/SUP] From such officers' perspective, "contempt of cop" may involve perceived or actual challenges to their authority, including a lack of deference (such as disobeying instructions,[SUP][9][/SUP] or expressing interest in filing a complaint against the officer).[SUP][7][/SUP] Flight from the police is sometimes considered a variant of "contempt of cop".[SUP][10][/SUP] "Contempt of cop" situations may be exacerbated if other officers witness the allegedly contemptuous behavior.[SUP][11][/SUP]
Charges such as disorderly conduct, resisting arrest, and assaulting an officer may be cited as official reasons for a "contempt of cop" arrest.[SUP][7][/SUP] Obstructing an officer or failure to obey a lawful order is also cited in "contempt of cop" arrests in some jurisdictions, particularly as a stand-alone charge without any other charges brought.[SUP][12][/SUP][SUP][13][/SUP]

I'm not sure I have much sympathy for this guy. Going up to other people in public and giving them "wedgies" and such is something that should result in an ass kicking. He finally fucked with someone who has some power, and he doesn't like the consequences. I hate cops and their abuse of power, but this guy was just asking for it. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. There are many other cases of totally innocent people we should be focusing on.

So what is the crime? Wedgies aside, why is violent arrest in order in this instance?

"Hey, that was pretty good dude, but you scared the shit out of me for a second. I hope you got that on film." - response from a normal human being.

I guess I can't argue for Contempt of Citizen?

No, because that is already the status quo.

He basically just did what every five year old does to his little brother: "I'M NOT TOUCHING YOU, I'M NOT TOUCHING YOU, I'M NOT TOUCHING YOU, I'M NOT TOUCHING YOU!" as he waves his hands in front of his brother's face. You can't really be surprised when that leads to the use of force.

Of course, I'm not sure what crime you arrest this guy for.

I gotta admit, I just can't muster any sympathy for that annoying dude, try as I might. It is just too bad one of those cops didn't have the reaction time to swing at him in the middle of the jump, out of instinctual defense, knocking him on his can; that would have been more appropriate than arresting him. That would have been worth a good belly laugh.

This is the same guy jumping through car windows in traffic. I wouldn't have any sympathy for the man if someone ran his ass over. Well I shouldn't say that, I'm still hoping that the videos are fake and that his friends knew he was going to be doing that. I really don't see how he hasn't already gotten an asswhooping from someone he messes with, otherwise.

Not asking for sympathy. Are you allowed to arrest someone for doing the same to your self.

I like how suddenly people change their minds about unlawful arrests when they don't like the person being arrested.

Interesting. I thought some people here were above that.

People are quick to forget that cops are "professionals" who are paid to act in accordance with the law. I wish I could get paid to sit on a table top where people eat with my work buddy and get paid for it. Then throw someone in a cage for "rude" behavior or filming me while im on the public dole?
