actually, you can. cops do it all the time--it's just a lovely dimension of that brave new world of freedom republican-style. it's typically something on the order of a slap suit--there's nothing to it, but you have to hire a lawyer to get out of it.
as for the op---i was wondering who this happened to, and then it turned out to be a second-hand retelling of a story.
from what's here, things took a turn at the point where the hypothetical hero of individual rights asked the cop "why was it necessary to violate my rights" by taking the gun after that hero was told at the outset the rationale for the action.
the video taping just confirmed the obtuseness of the hypothetical hero of individual rights.
but i have the feeling that stuff's been left out somehow.
you have a more complete account, dk?
i'm just curious.
something feels wrong about your version.
