Apply for your film permit, or the police may open fire

Post by Bruenor »

When you are filming your music video and staging an armed carjacking in the middle of a public street, you might want to consider applying for a filming permit, and notifying authorities, to keep from being shot at by police.

A music video in Detroit was interrupted when police began firing at the unwitting participants, believing it was an armed carjacking.

Officers arrived at the scene on Saturday at around 7pm to find a Jeep pulled up alongside an Aston Martin in the middle of Six Mile Road.

Police apparently saw two men approaching the Aston Martin with weapons.

Cops then responded by firing three shots.
I wonder what the charges against the men they arrested are. Idiots.

Yeah, there was a murder charge against a filmmaker a while back that filmed on a railroad bridge with permission and ended up with dead folks. Sometimes filmmakers believe they are above reality.

The producers asked for permission from CSX Railroad, and were subsequently denied in writing but trespassed onto the bridge anyway to shoot the scene for the movie "Midnight Rider".

3 shots fired, but no one injured. I'd say someone needs more training.
