Photography Is Not A Crime (PINAC) founder Carlos Miller's trial begins tomorrow in Miami, Florida.
Miller was arrested on January 31, 2012 while covering the eviction, by the Miami Dade Police department of Occupy Miami protesters.
In the video link I have posted at the bottom, footage from Miller's video camera shows Miami Dade police officers dressed in full riot gear, wielding batons.
At about the 3:50 mark of the video, Miami Dade police Major Nancy Perez, who happens to be the Public Information officer (PIO) is seen extending her arm out towards Miller as to block him, before calling out to her fellow officers, "Prisoner", at which point other Miami Dade cops can be heard yelling "Arrestee! Arrestee!"
Perez can also be heard telling a relaxed Carlos Miller, "We don't wanna have to hurt you."
What followed was Miami Dade police arresting Carlos Miller on Obstructing Justice and Resisting without violence.
