Meanwhile, another person filming the arrest in the alley was told by a cop that under the PATRIOT ACT, it was illegal to film a cop... The arrested protester told us that "Robin Euler who was filming the scene in the alley was assaulted by the cops who grabbed her and pushed her against the brick wall and she hit her head". Euler was arrested and charged with the usual boggus 'police assault' nowadays slammed on reporters on duty...




There may be other incidents like the above, but I do not believe that the police have the right to hide their actions or arrest those that film them in the process of an arrest. This may just be a case of some police breaking the law.
