[Ares]

"He told me that I had to go. He said I was interfering with their investigation and I told [him] that I was on a public sidewalk and I had the right to film them.." And then this happened...

As MyFOXLA reports,

Beatriz Paez says she was doing nothing wrong taking video of U.S. Marshal executing warrants on San Juan Avenue Sunday. She saw people in handcuffs. “Around 8 people including women were held at gunpoint on their stomachs with their hands held behind their back,” says Paez.



But, when one marshal saw her recording, “He told me that I had to go. And, I told him I had the right to film and he said I was interfering with their investigation and I told them that I was on a public sidewalk and I had the right to film them.”

As The Washington Post notes,

...the courts have consistently held that the First Amendment protects citizens' right to record the police when they're on the job. The police can't stop you unless you're interfering with their work -- and they can't take away your smart phone or delete the recordings just because you took video.



Police need a warrant to mess with the content of your cell phone.

I hate when idiots haven't got the intelligence to hold a recording device steady. She needs a smack just for that. You see all the fails videos and just at the key momnet, the videographer shakes or drops the image view as if they are the receivers of the fine beat-down or crash.

The brave officer needs to get his testicles snipped.

but, that's the way real life is.


i saw a great shot at a Walmart the other day - 4 big cops escorting a woman about 5 feet tall. make-work in action.

went to get my camera ... and dropped it.

so now the cops are laughing at the middle-aged guy who dropped the camera.

He thinks he is a big, burly, tough cop. He is a modern day "Bluto the Bully". These cops will do anything to keep their excessive pensions, including the brutality and the destruction of evidence. It did not used to be that way. It used to be that cops really did believe in protecting and serving the community. Not anymore. It is all about excessive wages, overtime, healthcare and pensions. Sooner or later, this bully attitude is going to invoke a reaction from citizens. What is "Bluto" going to do when 25 people swarm him?

If that were my wife, he would never be able to try that again.

[madfranks]

Looks like he assaulted her. Why doesn't she press charges against him?

Because of judicial protection she'll just be out of the filing fee. The thug was a federal Marshal, he won't even get a slap on the wrist.

Can she go after him personally, not as a marshal, but as a regular human who attacked another?

Yep, but she cannot hire an attorney to do so as the attorney will file a Claimant. She needs to file a Claim against him in his personal capacity and not as a U.S. Marshal.
