Man Claims Cell Phone Taken By DC Police For Taking Photos

Posted by timothy on from the safest-city-in-the-world dept.

First time accepted submitter hawkinspeter writes "Just one day after Chief Cathy Lanier made it illegal for MPD cops to take recording equipment, a 26-year-old local man had his phone taken as he was trying to record a violent arrest. They eventually gave back his phone, but without the memory card which also contained photos of his daughter along with the record of the alleged police brutality."

    The phone shouldn't have been wearing such slutty firmware. It was just asking for this to happen!

    I believe Google Drive can do this as well. I know for a fact that you can also do this with Google+, but I'm betting the 17 people actively using G+ already know this.
