\u201cPolice Accidentally Record Themselves Conspiring to Fabricate Criminal Charges Against Protester\u201d<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

The ACLU of Connecticut is suing state police for fabricating retaliatory criminal charges against a protester after troopers were recorded discussing how to trump up charges against him. In what seems like an unlikely stroke of cosmic karma, the recording came about after a camera belonging to the protester, Michael Picard, was illegally seized by a trooper who didn\u2019t know that it was recording and carried it back to his patrol car, where it then captured the troopers\u2019 plotting.<\/p>\n

\u201cLet\u2019s give him something,\u201d one trooper declared. Another suggested, \u201cwe can hit him with creating a public disturbance.\u201d \u201cGotta cover our ass,\u201d remarked a third.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u201cLawmaker Who Pushed Bill to Protect People Filming Police Arrested for Filming Police\u201d<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

An Arkansas State representative who helped pass a state law protecting people who film police was arrested Monday while filming Little Rock police as they put a black man in handcuffs after a traffic stop.<\/p>\n

The charges against Rep. John Walker have been dropped, but his colleague, fellow civil rights lawyer Omavi Shukur, faces charges for obstruction of government relations. \u2026<\/p>\n

Arrest for filming are actually becoming less common, said Jay Stanley, senior policy analyst at the ACLU. \u201cThe long time that it took police officers to recognize this right was in many ways an indictment of police management. It also shows that photography is a form of power,\u201d he told the Intercept.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
