Sounds like Girls Gone Wild. Its crazier then that. A Brooklyn, New York guy has found ways to become rich filming crimes as its happening in real time.
Ousala Aleem of Brooklyn, New York has found a way to capitalize on violent city crime
by filming felonies as they happen, slapping them on a DVD - and
selling them for $26.98 apiece, shipping included.
The 25-year-old filmmaker from Crown Heights, Brooklyn, said he's
sold several thousand copies of "Criminals Gone Wild," and with
Christmas coming there's even more demand for his movie mayhem.
"You
try to make a product for the family, something that everybody can see,
and nobody wants to buy it," said Aleem, a self-taught filmmaker who
used to host a local TV show called "FDTV."
"The minute you come out with crime footage everybody wants to buy it. My pockets are fat now."
Aleem
said he has no problem finding thugs to film - the word is out. They
call him. "It's sad, but these people really don't care, they just want
to be on TV," said Aleem. "I get phone calls from people who say, 'Come
over to my part of town if you want to see some real crime.'"
The
NYPD is reviewing the DVD trailer posted on YouTube to see if Aleem's
footage is as real as he claims it is - and if there's enough to
warrant an investigation of the filmmaker.
Real or not, what
Aleem put on the trailer is as raw as it comes. It opens with a driver
being carjacked by a gunman, shows a man unloading his gun on a man
lying prone on the ground, and features a closeup of yet another thug
stating in a matter-of-fact way, "Yeah, I killed somebody, man."
Another
self-declared criminal with a blue bandanna covering the lower half of
his face boasts that he has never done time, adding, "Which actually
means I'm good at what I do." Later, that same bandanna-wearing man is
filmed on the street closing in on a victim and can be heard saying,
"We're about to rob this n---a live [on] TV."
That piece of
footage in particular outraged the Flatbush, Brooklyn, man who alerted
the Daily News about Aleem's shocking DVD. The man, who asked not to be
named, claims he was the victim the bandanna-wearing bandit robbed last
summer - and is convinced Aleem filmed the stickup on Church Ave.
"I
know that was the guy who robbed me," the victim said. "He showed the
gun and he said, 'Don't say nothing. Don't say nothing. Just hand it
over.' Across the street I seen the guy with the camera."
The
Flatbush man said that after the gunman made off with his money, he
chased after the cameraman. "Then he starts walking fast and I said,
'Excuse me.'"
"Then I thought about it and stopped because I
live around here and I didn't want it to get back to me," said the man,
who said he reported the robbery to cops. "I've been robbed twice
before and the police didn't do anything. I just don't understand how
people can do something like that, tape it and say, 'Let's put it on
YouTube.'"

Can the law stop it?
According to the laws in USA you cannot do anything against a person if he/she don't actively participate in a crime. You can watch a person die drowning, law can't do anything against you unless you actively help the person drown. You can even video tape the whole thing.
