No, it doesn't.
The perpetrators never suffer any consequences for their actions. So why should they change their behavior.

Because it is the right thing to do?

So, its ok to arrest people for videotaping?
Here's what is going on here:
In reference to Russell's statement: "It never ends, does it?" Silent Bob stated: "No, it doesn't.
The perpetrators never suffer any consequences for their actions. So why should they change their behavior."
He meant that people who suffer under the thumbs of cops and other pigs seldom use the legal system to make the individuals who instigated the violence and the communities who put them on the street, responsible for their actions.
Then Highline makes a statement that implies he read Bob's last sentence only and forgets the nature of the people he used to work with: "Because it's the right thing to do" meaning the reason they should stop their behavior.
Then, somehow, Bob misunderstands Highline, thinking he meant arresting videograpers was 'the right thing to do'.
some cops end up realizing what the real right thing to do is and then they're not cops anymore. ;D

Of course not.
I was saying that the right thing to do is change their cruel treatment of other humans.

I miss quite a few things about my former job... there was just no way I could keep doing it, being someone who doesn't want to hurt or bother someone who hasn't done anything to bother or harmed someone else.
Remembering these guys were involved with the MotorHomeDiaries crew... they fought the pullover in Mississippi, in court. Also the CDevolution folks might be interested in the case. Other journalistic groups might be interested...
It occurs to me that it's time to reintroduce this one. It's among the first I wrote, so I recently reconfigured it to better fit the original. If we bring it and sing it, they'll hear it and fear it!

Up till now, you cops had citizens deceived--
It was just your word against our word, and guess whose word got believed.
But so many innocents told tales of lawmen getting rough,
I got tough,
I finally said, "Enough!"
I have the means
To put an end
To the corruption that's become a universal trend.
You threw down against the people, now you're up against the wall.
Cops should be held to higher standards, they've been held to none at all.
Now let's see you smash a child's face into the street,
Blow out the brains of someone handcuffed helpless at your feet.
You casually made people die, as of today, don't even try,
You may believe you're little gods,
But don't believe you can defy
The camera's eye--
I will record!
I've got a pocket camera any working stiff can well afford.
It's the handiest of tools
When it's you cops who break the rules.
I will record!
You bet your badge I will record!
[music]
You think that you can stop us standing up to you--
That if you maintain the chicanery, there's nothing we can do.
You've grown complacent in your power and you think you own us all.
You've gone too far--
We'll show the whole world what you are.
We'll capture truth
On video
And when they see it on the Web, even your sycophants will know
That they can't ignore the evidence about the lies they feel.
You'll have no choice except to measure up to your perceived ideal.
So wield your clubs,
Unleash your dogs--
And your atrocities will be depicted on our blogs.
And the pathetic egos that you all so smugly sanctify
Are going to topple--
The camera's staunch, unblinking eye
Doesn't lie.
I will record!
I have a camera and a thousand activists like me on board,
With tens of millions coming yet--
Then you'll know "Quis custodiet . . ."
I will record!
I will record!
Just watch your step--
"Don't Tread On Me"!
I'll have proof of your own lawlessness for all the world to see.
When every person you're harassing is potentially a spy,
You'll start to act like
Boundaries that you deny
Still apply.
I will record!
Streaming your deeds direct to YouTube, where they're permanently stored,
And with the truth exposed at last,
Consign corruption to the past.
I will record!
You bet your lives I will record.
I will record!
