We're the Only Ones Camera Shy Enough

Anzaldi was arrested and his equipment was confiscated, and about 500 images were deleted from his memory card, when the Chicago police decided that he wasn’t allowed to film a crime scene from a neighbor’s private property...

The Chicago Police are getting in trouble for torturing people, actually physically torturing people...It’s not about right and wrong for them, it’s about what they have the power to do.”

You’re going to all of the sudden tell people you can only photograph where the police say you can photograph?”

See, they're not just "Only Ones." They're Chicago "Only Ones."

And commentator "Old School" sure sounds like a good German, doesn't he?

Forget it, Jake, it's Chi-Town.

Hey, Officer David Cari--what would happen if someone brought a camera up to East Haven and followed you--specifically--around. Maybe did a web documentary...?

Got a problem with that?

The Zargonian Collaborator/"Only Ones" alliance has struck again. Watch these outrageous videos:

NH cop kidnaps Free Stater for camcording - 2/2

Good grief. Especially the part about handing the gun off to the SPCA drone.

One suggestion: Give us the names of these two guys. People deserve the reputations they earn and behavior like what we see here should have personal consequences--otherwise, what's to stop them from continuing to act like arrogant bullies?

And naturally, the photographer was arrested.

I wonder if it occurs to any of these "Authorized Journalists"--once they've been mugged--that this business of having "Only Ones" might not be such a good idea...?

Turn the camera off.

By what authority?

And understand when an "Only One" gives an order, he's prepared to escalate force to whatever extent he sees fit to execute it.

Mocek says the man who took the camera eventually identified himself as an agent with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms. He returned the camera, but Mocek says one of the images on it had been deleted. [More]

They certainly demand their privacy, don't they?  Even (especially) in public.

Look at the way different "services" ganged up and police allowed it to happen.

It's getting to where activists are going to need to wear devices like these for whenever they do anything in public that might attract "law enforcement" attention.

While I was at the KY shoot, I was introduced to a great new product for recording that, if applied to camera-shy "Only Ones," could reduce the chances of being detected, followed with being harassed, assaulted, taken hostage and having your chronicle of abuse under color of authoritah deleted:

Pretty cool, eh?

Being me, I don't grok tech, but I understand there's a capability to hook something like this up to feed into the Internet so that badged evidence tamperers can't erase it. If one of you smart young guys can explain things slowly, I'll break out my Martian/English dictionary and see if I can follow along...

“He says you took a picture of me. It’s illegal to take a picture of a law enforcement officer,” said Conover.

Sounds to me like the citizens of Johnson County have some reminding to do.

And it sounds like this "Only One" needs to have his portrait taken while holding up a sign with numbers on it.
