Police officers crushed a man’s phone and held a gun to his head in an effort to destroy a recording he made of a fatal shootout, he claims.
Narces Benoit saw the officers shoot dead Raymond Herisse, 22, in Miami Beach, Florida, last week after the suspect sped off and drove recklessly . Mr Benoit was nearby with girlfriend Ericka Davis when one of the officers allegedly put a gun to his head, handcuffed him and smashed his phone.

Lucky for him it wasn’t Jack Bauer that he recorded. But then again, Jack Bauer wasn’t a statist asswipe.
Pretty good eyesight to see that all the way from the UK!
From the UK so probably a Who fan. They can see for miles. And miles.
The only way it will stop is CRIMINAL prosecution of the individual thugs/cops involved. (And we all know how likely that is.)
Indeed, better eyes than Palin.
Po-Po over da top, ping...
“Miami Beach Police Say They Found Gun In Car Of Man They Killed” by Carlos Miller

Miami Beach police say they found a gun in the car of the man they shot more than 100 times on Memorial Day - two-and-a-hallf days after the actual shooting.
Chief Carlos Noriega said the gun was out of sight, which is why police did not find it until 7 p.m. Wednesday even though the shooting occurred at 4 a.m. Monday.
Perhaps police will find spent shell casings by this weekend.
Discovery of the gun was described as “great news” by Noriega, who said they still haven’t determined if it had been fired or not.
“The State does not like to be seen.”
“Secrecy is the keystone of all tyranny. Not force, but secrecy . . . censorship. When any government, or any Church for that matter, undertakes to say to its subjects “This you may not read, this you must not see, this you are forbidden to know,” the end result is tyranny and oppression, no matter how holy the motives. Mighty little force is needed to control a man whose mind has been hoodwinked; contrariwise, no amount of force can control a free man, a man whose mind is free. No, not the rack, not fission bombs, not anything-— you can’t conquer a free man; the most you can do is kill him.”

Great graphics and quotes. Orwell certainly was prescient.

Thanks — looks like I was pretty close.
You were dead on. The actual name of he law isn’t as important as the law being codified, and the punishment being directly related to the severity of the crime.
I'm still breathing and I still have a couple bullets left.
