I believe in law and order, but this, IF THE REPORT IS TRUE, is going too far.

I guarantee you if any Miami tv station showed up to record the arrest, the cops would allow it.

This is a precursor to LICENSING journalists....giving government the power to decide WHO gets to gather and disseminate information.

Ten days in jail. For essentially taking video of a public event.

Florida law allows police to demand identification if they believe you are loitering.

It's a very broad standard, and by refusing to identify himself he gave these cops a legal excuse to detain him.

This is clearly abusive, but he gave them cover he didn't need to give.

From the article;

“After they arrested him, they discovered he had a warrant out of Broward County for an unpaid traffic ticket, which resulted in him remaining in jail for ten days.

Perhaps Estrada can report Valdez to internal affairs now that the unit’s lieutenant has been arrested on felony charges that he assisted drug traffickers, including plotting murders.”

In fact, Lazaro Estrada followed the Miami-Dade police officer’s initial orders to scurry back inside a store because the cop insisted he was in fear for his life, claiming the man he had handcuffed was still armed.

Mr. Lazaro is extremely fortunate that he was not shot and killed, the same goes double for tha handcuffed man. Because when the phrase, "fear for his/her life", enters a cop's mind, the bullets start flying. Cops now fear for their lives at all times, even when in bed asleep.

Over zealous security guard claims it’s illegal to take photos of courthouse

I watched this video yesterday. I think it was on Drudge. Anyway, their website has a lot of cop abuse stories that they have videoed. I predict they will all be audited by the IRS very soon.

Cops are fighting a losing battle against public video. The cameras are only going to get smaller and easier to conceal.

Seems cops want to be shot at. That will be the result of attempting to confiscate anything of mine illegally. ENOUGH OF THIS BS
