Policeman Arrests News Crew for Covering an Accident

Here we go again. Another example of a power-mad policeman.

http://snafu-ed.blogspot.com/2009/04/policeman-arrests-news-crew-for.html

-----------------

Police Chief Greg Allen, after watching video of the incident, said:

"It kind of concerns me because the charge that the sergeant was out there supposedly enforcing appeared to be randomly being enforced. When you have the media and the public mingling together - definitely - if one is interfering then that means all of them are interfering. So if general citizens of the community are being allowed to stand by and watch what's going on, then the media should have as well."

Sgt. Ramirez has been placed on administrative duty pending the outcome of the investigation.

2. Seems worse...
Maybe it is me, but the power hungry and abusive situations seem to be more frequent nowadays.

5. Maybe, but I wonder if we're just finding out about more of them,
and faster, thanks to the internet.
