IN: Cop shoots at faux bank robber
I suppose this qualifies as a cross between a LEO contact and a blooper...

Short course: Extremely low budget movie makers stage a scripted robbery for filming. They didn't tell anyone else (like the police) except for the owners of a bar where they were filming. Someone not-in-the-know saw a masked man holding a gun enter the bar from the street and called the cops. When masked man came out into the street again... well, go read the links.

Re: IN: Cop shoots at faux bank robber
Reminds me of one of the "Lethal Weapon" movies in which the Mel Gibson character mistakes a movie shoot as a crime in progress.

Do what you say you're gonna do.

The actor is lucky the cops were bad shots.
The left lies about everything. Truth is a liberal value, and truth is a conservative value, but it has never been a left-wing value. People on the left say whatever advances their immediate agenda. Power is their moral lodestar; therefore, truth is always subservient to it. - Dennis Prager

It was either the third or fourth one. Roger's daughter was in the movie and thought she was in danger.KLB wrote:Reminds me of one of the "Lethal Weapon" movies in which the Mel Gibson character mistakes a movie shoot as a crime in progress.
I am not and have never been a LEO. My avatar is in honor of my friend, Dallas Police Sargent Michael Smith, who was murdered along with four other officers in Dallas on 7.7.2016.

The best part was how Mel convinced the director to "un-fire" the girl.C-dub wrote:It was either the third or fourth one.

Most cities require a city permit to film a movie. Which I think includes hiring police officers.
I would be afraid being an actor having a gun pointed at me by a faux robber on a cheap movie like this.

Re: IN: Cop shoots at faux bank robber
I believe the requirement to have a permit would be if you are shooting in public - they were shooting on private land and the business was aware/ok with it.philip964 wrote:Most cities require a city permit to film a movie. Which I think includes hiring police officers.

Low budget film makers sometimes forego city permits, security, and the like because...well... they have low budgets.philip964 wrote:Most cities require a city permit to film a movie. Which I think includes hiring police officers.

1) that got online FAST
2) why did the actor raise his gun
3) that cop needs more range time!
