    My favorite is the cop baiters. It’s illegal to use IR to identify grow houses in whatever state they operate in, so they aluminum foil the heck out of a house and crank the heat so it stands out. When the police come in based off a nonexistent anonymous tip, they’re basically caught breaking the law red handed.

    Can’t find the video but I’ll keep looking.

    I’ve seen that they also called in an anonymous tip about the house, which in itself is not enough for a warrant but the cops raided anyway.

      Do you mean Barry Cooper with KopBusters?

      Formerly a police officer in Texas, Cooper is best known for KopBusters, a series of online videos in which he attempts to document police misconduct, and Never Get Busted Again, a series of videos aimed at teaching citizens how to evade false arrest by the police.

      You probably meant this Video about it that went viral.

        Yes! Just found a news report about it a few minutes ago and added it but thanks for finding a fuller version.

      This seems like a terrible idea. Even if you’re not committing any crime why would you want cops to pay attention to you?
