This is not an isolated case. In Chicago, an artist/activist is facing felony charges for videoing his arrest for selling small sew-on patches for $1.00 without a peddler's license. They dropped the charges about the peddler license, but the felony case is in court. See http://www.c-drew.com/blog/ for his on-going saga. It is a case of dominated discourse when police and authorities can tape people, but people can't tape back.
