Links to YouTube video at the site. Seems like very clear police abuse of this man's constitutional rights. First amendment, they forced the wife to delete video of the officers actions. The Seventh Circuit has ruled that recording police in the performance of their public duties is a first amendment right.

Second amendment, self explanatory.

I suspect that a big settlement is coming from this arrest. The officer who intimidated the wife into deleting the file should be fired.

The cops then reportedly took the woman’s phone and forced her to delete the video she had just taken. But later on she figured out how to use recovery software to get the file back and upload it to Youtube.
