Two DV Desperados
Jupiter, FL
About 12:20 p.m., callers reported that a man dressed in black was walking with a gun in a back yard in the 300 block of Tequesta Drive. A resident said the man appeared to have a black, semi-automatic handgun as he was walking between buildings. Officers arrived, drew their weapons and stopped the man at gunpoint. As more officers arrived, a second man dressed in black was seen walking across a driveway. He, too, was ordered to the ground at gunpoint. During questioning, it was learned that the two, a 22-year-old Hobe Sound man and a 25-year-old Port St. Lucie man, were working on a student film and their equipment was discovered on the rear patio of the home. The black handguns were pellet guns, and the owner had given the men permission to be on the property. Both men were released and advised about the possible consequences of their actions.

The possible consequences of making a student film???? Like what, bad reviews? Maybe these “callers” could have noticed the guy with the camera periodically yelling “CUT” and “ACTION”.

I agree, Mike. It was right smack in the middle of the day. I hope thay got the cop’s actions on film. That has to be some good footage to work into the project. You can’t buy realism like that.

The consequences are obvious—they were mistaken for criminals. It may be safer to call the police and let them know you were going to be using fake weapons while shooting a student film and then you wouldn’t have to worry about all the busy bodies that can’t seem to know the difference between a dumbass and themselves.
