Orton's Arm Posted July 31, 2006 Posted July 31, 2006 This is a time where hte ACLU becomes useful! 732083[/snapback] Wait until the ACLU actually takes formal legal action about this before calling them useful. All they've done so far about this case is to give a few quips to the media.

HopsGuy Posted July 31, 2006 Posted July 31, 2006 Something similar happened to a friend of mine in Miami. He was taking pictures of police arresting some dude and the dude was resisting a bit, so the police were getting rough. We they saw my friend taking pictures, one of them came over and told him to stop. My friend says "Okay", but about a minute later he was taking pictures again. So they roughed him up a bit. Of course, he's a law student at Northwestern, so he's up on his civil rights. Last time I heard he was thinking of taking action and turning it into a paper for school. I'll let you know if I hear anything further. BTW, he was hammered. I saw him in downtown Ft. Lauderdale at 1 AM earlier in the night. I can just imagine his state when this stuff happened.
yall Posted July 31, 2006 Posted July 31, 2006 Hoorah for !@#$ dirty cops that make the good ones look bad!
/dev/null Posted July 31, 2006 Posted July 31, 2006 He said that when he saw the street lined with police cars I could understand if he was taking pictures of plain clothes undercover cops, might comprimise other investigations or put them in danger. but if the street is lined with police cars, there's nothing wrong with taking pictures of the uniform cops
Phlegm Alley Posted August 1, 2006 Posted August 1, 2006 What if the guy was taking pictures of cops using brute, unneccessary force, a la Rodney King? Could he use those pictures to aid in the investigation against the cops?
