Remember The Police That Plays Taylor Swift's Song?

Well, it didn't work

YouTube’s automated Content ID copyright-flagging system looks for a match between a reference file (provided by a copyright holder) and a new video upload. If there’s a hit, YouTube applies a policy to track, monetize or block the video, based on the preference selected by the Content ID owner. According to YouTube, Content ID claims usually are “just to track or monetize the video, not to block it.”

In fact, the video in question was not only shared successfully on YouTube, it has gone viral — garnering widespread attention because of the controversy.

The video, available at this link, has been viewed more than 170,000 times since it was shared Thursday.

The Alameda County Sheriff’s Office has referred the incident to an internal affairs unit for investigation, the Washington Post reported.
 

 

Also, it's not the first time the cops tried this method.

Police have reportedly tried to exploit copyright-takedown rules to try to block videos from online services before. In February, according to a Vice News report, a Beverly Hills cop played Sublime’s “Santeria” as activist Sennett Devermont tried to film the encounter disputing a ticket he had been issued, evidently so that video of the conversation would be prevented from being livestreamed online. On a prior occasion, another BHPD officer blasted The Beatles’ “In My Life” as Devermont was recording video.
