Police Officers Pay Attention! We Can Film You!

I am posting this video in response to three videos I have up now. 1) Pete Tucker showed up Wednesday to cover a public meeting of the DC Taxicab Commission. Tucker runs the website www.thefightback.org. He has advocated for independent cabbies and given voice to their opposition to a medallion system being considered by the city council. As the meeting began, Tucker placed his recorder on the table in front of the commissioners, next to the microphones. Dena Reed, interim chairwoman of the commission, demanded he move it to another table. "This a public meeting," he says he told her. Later in the meeting, Tucker took photos of Reed for his website. A cab inspector told him he couldn't take photos and blocked his shot. Someone -- my guess is Reed -- called the Park Police. At this point Jim Epstein, with Reason.tv, started shooting video. The clip shows cops telling Tucker to quit taking pictures. "I'm a reporter," he says. "This is a public meeting." They cuff him and escort him out. They arrest him and Epstein and put them in separate holding cells. www.youtube.com 2)Robert Wanek getting arrested Officer Dustin Hill has been suspended without pay for the Illegal arrest of Robert Wanek and required to take 40 hours in law enforcement training, including constitutional law and rules of arrest.
