Lieutenant Iberger grabbed her camera and handled it “without care”. In an attempt to prevent the lieutenant from damaging the camera, Nancy removed her memory card, which Lieutenant Iberger confiscated.

I don't like a police state, and I'm not defending the action of the officer. But I will say that if an officer grabs your camera, then I think it will be difficult for a citizen to subsequently remove the memory card. This just doesn't ring true for me.

I have the feeling that this woman's rendition of the story may not be 100% accurate.

"may not be accurate"

Plus the asking for 70 million bucks. Why didn't she just make it an even 100 million? (smirk)

If this is 10% true, there need to be public hangings.

I agree, this story strains credulity. It would be interesting to read followup as the lawsuit progresses. If it progresses.

No relevant hits for Nancy Genovese at GoogleNews.

“I don’t like a police state, and I’m not defending the action of the officer...”

I’m sure there will be some FReepers who will be more than happy to defend the JBTs in this story.

Genovese was seen at the air field taking pictures on previous occasions over the past few weeks and was warned to stay away, said Undersheriff Joseph T. Caracappa.

Hard to believe every last person she encountered treated her that way. Really difficult.

Interesting. I have the same suspicion about the pig's version
