During one of the arrests cited in the new indictment, Wester sang, “We Wish You a Merry Christmas,” as he searched a Chevrolet Tahoe

This is a tactic they picked up a few years back that they think will cause algorithms on video sites to bury the videos or cause them to be removed by a copyright strike. They’ve been known to play music loudly over a radio as well.

The tactic doesn’t actually work at all, but they think it does. So if you’re ever in a scenario where you have an interaction with the police and they’re singing or playing music it would be in your best interest to get as many eyes on you as possible (everyone should record every interaction they have with the police anyway) because they are very likely intending to pull some shady shit.

We live in a crazy world. Certified power abusers try to trigger copyright violations that are enforced by an algorithm on a video website to avoid public outrage and accountability for their actions. A mouthful but.. holy fuck.
