Sievert refused a lawful command to erase the photographs, Colonneso said. That "reasonable request" was to protect undercover officers.

Assistant public defender Jennifer Joynt-Sanchez called the arrest "beyond belief." Joynt-Sanchez, representing Sievert in court, said Sievert had a right to resist unlawful police detention.

Joynt-Sanchez wanted Sievert released from jail on his own recognizance. But Circuit Judge Debra Johnes Riva ordered Sievert held.

It seems there is a difference of opinion between the defense and prosecution on the applicable law and the judge is siding with the prosecution.

He was held on a probation violation, not on the merits of this arrest

“It seems there is a difference of opinion between the defense and prosecution on the applicable law and the judge is siding with the prosecution.”

Perhaps the judge is protecting Seivert from a blue accident?
