Important case for street photographers and others
An article worth reading: http://www.diyphotography.net/baltimore … ighting%29 Apr 18 14 06:15 am Link Not the first, probably won't be the last. They'll keep paying out via lawsuits, but I doubt LE behavior will change much unless there is something done at every level of LE from top to bottom across the country.

While it's reprehensible that the cops deleted his stuff, what kind of complete friggin' idiot keeps the only copies of irreplaceable photos and videos on their phone?

Apr 21 14 03:21 am Link Hahaha nice! Here they are trained how to beat all that by telling to move on and if you start to argue, they just issue a ticket for refusing the direction of an officer. So you go to court, sit in a huge waiting room for hours, they make sure to make you last, the officer never shows so it gets dismissed but you have to sign a card that says you'll be a good boy for 6 months. If you refuse n insist you want to be heard, your case is reschedualed and you do it again. Of course the officer doesn't show n you get to spend another day in the waiting room! How many day will you sit around till you get heard? Of course you'll give up before they do... They get paid, you don't! Worth the trouble? Sign the got dam card n go home feeling very upset that their abuse has bigger teeth than justice! Apr 21 14 06:16 am Link Wow. A little closer to home than I thought!
