Recording the Police
I have decided why not do recurring posts everytime I see a news story of a person arrested for recording the police in their official duties. I will use the above picture to identify the posts.
This one is from Toledo, Ohio where a lady was harrassed to give up her camera outside her house. The officer demanded she hand it over for evidence and when she refused the officer eventually left with the drunk whom he was arresting. Later in the day different cops came to her house and arrest her as a warrant was put out for her arrest after the officer filed charges against the woman. She was in jail for 18hours before eventually being released.
My favorite quote is from the officer who is appealing the suspension:
''There was no 'just cause' to this suspension and I should not be disciplined at all,'' he wrote. ''I did nothing wrong.''That's right kids stealing and kidnapping aren't wrong!
