Woman Records Police Barging into her Home in Case of Mistaken Identity
From the Photography is Not a Crime Blog
Carlos Miller is a civil libertarian activist who runs a blog that tracks police misconduct on citizen surveillance cases. Citizens have the constitutional right to record public servants in public doing their jobs and in fact, they should be encouraged to do so for their own safety. As Fox News Sr. Judicial Analyst has said:
“The camera is the new gun.” -Judge Napolitano
From the blog:
A disturbing video of police barging into a woman’s home without a search warrant, demanding her identification – only to learn she was not the person they were looking for – has emerged on Youtube, demonstrating just how unprofessional police can act when they don’t realize they are being recorded.
The video stops at 2:31 when one of the cops spots it and turns it off.
At this point, it is not clear where the incident took place, but I’ve sent the woman, who goes by the username, Robynstorm2, a message, requesting an interview.
