Camera shy Police officers fight against cellphone recordings
January 27th, 2010
Apparently camera shy Police officers have started to fight back against cellphone recordings of them ending up on youtube.
Simon Glik, a lawyer, was walking down Tremont Street in Boston when he saw three police officers struggling to extract a plastic bag from a teenager’s mouth. Thinking their force seemed excessive for a drug arrest, Glik pulled out his cellphone and began recording.
Within minutes, Glik said, he was in handcuffs.
The charge? Illegal electronic surveillance.
