Well I don't think someone should be allowed to record you and post it to the internet without your consent....Now if this guy is a youtube partner and makes any sort of money for what content he puts up, then this police officer definately should have the right to privacy....
Now on the flip side, police record you, dont you have the right to privacy...well they don't have a choice if its a department or state guide line that they are required to tape traffic stops or interviews they dont have a choice...

And they would have gotten shot, I think the cop had a big time advantage being that his weapon was already drawn, had another police officer 5 seconds away and was on foot....

Who exactly? Guys that act like dipshits on motorcycles and then, five minutes later, get stopped by a cookie-cutter Johnny D. Law type yelling at them from the front while a uniformed officer in a marked cruiser pulls up behind them (see end of video)? C'mon, there is no mystery as to this dude's job.
And, hell, just look at the guy. White dude with GI Joe haircut, furrowed cranky cop brow, rewind jargon talk, subdued color clothes.
Nobody with half a brain would have gone for a concealed handgun in those circumstances. I'm curious as to who you "know" who'd do that.
Still, it's my feeling that the plainclothes cop didn't need to do anything but index his piece given the circumstances.

I agree...
