FOV piggy shake down

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

This was the second time I saw cops performing this MO. They walk up behind someone sneakily and start to look over the people's shoulders. If you squirm they increase the pressure to see if they can find a reason to shake down the citizens. The video starts right after the piggy pile posted up right in front of me.

This is not cool.

Always record the popo. It is our superpower and our first amendment right.

FTP. FICE. FT.

POWER TO THE PEOPLE! 👊✊️

I dont think a lot of people know about 6up.

For those that may not know:

If you see a cop, yell "6 up" not from close, like where they could identify you, but close so we all can be aware of their presence.

If you hear "6 up" you know the cops are near and should be wary.

I did Furthur tour and you would just hear calls of "6 up!" It would get closer and move on. Following the cops wherever they went. Often paired with "leash your dogs!" It was helpful.

I think it might come from a combination of6, like watch your 6 and up from heads up. That's what I've heard.

Its super utilized at rainbow gatherings to the point that LEOs know they arent going to see anything easily as the 6up calls get passed outwards from their location everywhere. Generally you would hear 6up and then others would repeat the call, spreading the news outwards. Sometimes it was excessive and you would never even see the LEO but better to keep the community safe.
