In reply to the discussion: Carlos Miller gets roughed up again in Miami for taking pictures [View all]RagingInMiami
(13,395 posts)129. Hey guys,
Interesting conversation here which seems to mirror the conversations on other sites.
Despite the evidence in the video, many people will side with the security guards because I did not abide by their unlawful orders to stop video recording.
I understand many people don't have it in them to stand up for their rights but it's sad when those same people criticize those that do.
Here is my update.

And cops arresting people for violating non-existant laws isn't abuse or entrapment?

Yes, it's so inconvenient for the authorities when someone has a video of them misbehaving

Your being assumptive. Fail. Opinion by your own logic you should be arrested for PUI.

More accurately, the security guards had no way of knowing, and assumed the worst.

I'd say he's educating people about police brutality and repression effectively enough. n/t

Don't see any references to any video recording or photography for "Personal Use" there.
