Photograph the Police, Get Arrested
Servo writes "Last month a man was arrested in New Hampshire after presenting evidence of a police officer being verbally abusive that he had captured on his home security camera system. Now just recently in Philadelphia a 21 year old student was arrested on his property after he took a photo of the police who were in the process of arresting a drug dealer down the street." From the article: "Cruz said that when he heard a commotion, he walked out of his back door with his cell phone to see what was happening. He said that when he saw the street lined with police cars, he decided to take a picture of the scene. 'I opened (the phone) and took a shot,' Cruz said. Moments later, Cruz said he got the shock of his life when an officer came to his back yard gate."
He's obviously one of the drug cartel's henchman with a name like Cruz. He was probably taking pictures to send to all the other drug dealers in the area. The police were being very prudent in this post 9-11 world. Since they were unable to determine his innocence on the scene, the best bet is to arrest him and figure it out latter.
Rule #2 shut the fuck up you anal moron.
It's when we thank our lucky stars that we're not American, and thus don't act like YOU.
Last I checked, Karl Marx never killed anybody
No, he left that to his followers, kind of like L. Ron Hubbard.
