Cops should be inviting people to video tape them if they have nothing to hide, it would prove that they did everything by the book, unless they are committing a crime themselves.
Don't mean to offend, but is this story up on any other news sites? Your just a tad bit too biased on the issue for me take that at face value. That and she'd be, what, 12 or 13 when she had her son? Possible, but, you know ... any of the mainstream outlets picked this up?

PS. This is my favorite part of that whole article: â... you fucking northerners think you can come down here and mess with cops. You are about to get a lesson 101 on how to deal with Florida cops.â
*Re-edit*
nm on the age thing ... booking info makes that a moot point.

..."WORD"...
but those same cops would prefer that they remain in control of the person videotaping them (so as to of course create a biased opinion)...

It might be possible that she lied about her age on her port,,,
I know it's rare but some models lie about their age.

That's how the Black Panthers got started. Citizens would observe arrests. Sometimes gathering in crowds to observe.
The government didn't like that very much. The police being policed.
Citizens could also observe the police at a distance while also being as visibly armed as the police themselves.
There's a few kids of Panther's wandering around here.
I dunno... I think if she had of walked out of the car, approached an Officer and found out what happened before she started video taping we might have a whole different story here. The streets are for resolving situations, courts are for arguing... My Mother never believe my stories and always believed the cops, at least my Mother knew who was telling the truth...
As a photographer, I pray for the police to offend my rights⦠I film accidents, arrests, fires, other types of photojournalistic events. I had asked the past sheriff permission (kind jester) for permission to photography his deputies. There is a current request in now with newly elected sheriff.
If you do not know if you film either it is still or video from public area you are within the law. *unless shooting military, government buildings, ectâ¦They can not confiscate your camera or film (media)⦠you do not have to delete photos either. It is your personal property and you have a copyright to anything you take with any type of camera.
I hope that all photographers know their rights and exercise their right to photographâ¦
Keep a copy of this with you when shooting⦠hell keep one at all times⦠if you see a fellow photographer in trouble give it to themâ¦
The pompousness of photographers on this site never fails to amaze me. It reminds me of why I stopped posting here in the first place.
I am the guy who wrote the story. I am also a professional journalist who once worked for the âmainstreamâ media and who still does occasional work for them, including a recent photo assignment for The New York Post.
I know many of you have this naïve notion that if it was not covered by the mainstream media, then it just simply didnât happen.
Well the South Florida Sun Sentinel is actually looking into this incident as we speak. So are various lawyers. So stay tuned because sometimes itâs people like me who spark the fire.
The comments on this thread do not surprise me because there was another article I wrote that was discussed on MM not too long ago â which also brought out a ton of disparaging comments from so-called photographers â that never made the mainstream media either.
All this because it was first reported on a ââ0â ranked blogsiteâ. Actually it is ranked in the top 200,00 in the world on Alexa, which is more than any of you can do if you were single-handedly running a site with absolutely no help.
But it still hasnât been reported by the mainstream media, so I guess it really didnât happen.
âyou fucking northerners think you can come down here and mess with cops. You are about to get a lesson 101 on how to deal with Florida cops.â
The idiocy...

Why would someone's opinion on a news article call into question if they are a real photographer or not?

Knowing or not knowing your constitutional rights has nothing to do with whether or not someone is a photographer. I don't even have to know how copyrights work in order to be a photographer. It was just you spitting back is all.

Again, this thread should be locked for outing another MM member in the forums and for stirring up drama.
Whatever dude. If the mods want to lock it, then let them.
But I'm curious to see if anybody else agrees with you.

I guess it's no different than people on this thread inferring that I am not a real journalist.
