Take a Picture of a Cop, Go to Jail Darius Radzius TriCities.com July 15, 2008 Nearly everyone carries a cell phone and it’s hard to find one without that camera feature. It’s convenient when you want to take that impromptu photo, but a Tri-Cities area man ended up behind bars after snapping a shot of a Johnson County sheriff’s deputy during a traffic stop. The cell phone photographer says the arrest was intimidation, but the deputy says he feared for his life. “Here’s a guy who takes me out of the car and arrests me in front of my kids. For what? To take a picture of a police officer?” said Scott Conover. A Johnson County sheriff’s deputy arrested Scott Conover for unlawful photography. “He says you took a picture of me. It’s illegal to take a picture of a law enforcement officer,” said Conover. Conover took a picture of a sheriff’s deputy on the side of the road on a traffic stop. Conover was stunned by the charge. “This is a public highway,” said Conover. And it was not a place where there is a reasonable expectation of privacy as Tennessee code states. The deputy also asked Conover to delete the picture three times. “He said if you don’t give it to me, you’re going to jail,” said Conover. Under the advice of the Johnson County attorney, the sheriff would not comment and the arresting deputy said he didn’t want to incriminate himself by talking to us. In an affidavit, the deputy said he saw something black with a red light which he thought was a threat. Conover was also arrested for pointing a laser at a law enforcement officer. “At no time did I have a laser. I had an iPhone,” said Conover. When you take a picture in the dark with Conover’s Apple iPhone, there is no flash or any light that comes from the phone that could be mistaken for a laser. In a witness statement by a Mountain City officer, is says the deputy asked about the picture rather than looking for a laser. “If you arrested me, wouldn’t you take the laser? If you arrested me, wouldn’t you take the camera?” said Conover. He expects these charges to be dismissed. “This guy maliciously arrested me, charging me with phony charges that he don’t even understand himself,” Conover said. The American Civil Liberties Union would not comment on Conover’s case without fully reviewing the allegations, but told us there is no law that prohibits anyone from taking photographs in public areas, even of police. Taking photos is protected by the First Amendment. Conover is ordered to appear in a Johnson County court on August 6th. Comment: Amazing, are cops being taught this? That they can't be filmed? Seems so....
 "...we are part of a secret cabal working against the best interests of the US, ...conspiring with others around the world to build ...-- one world, if you will. If that's the charge, I stand guilty, and I am proud of it." David Rockefeller |

Without knowing what the cops are doing, I'm not really going to go into a lot of what I think here. I do know it's against the law to not carry ID, or at least it use to be. They possibly could have arrested him right on the spot for not having any! Second, IF in fact they were stopping DUI's that's one thing, how do we know they weren't checking ID's to see if people were legal? How do we know what the hell they were doing? I don't think there's enough here to really be upset about other than they may have been lying about not being allowed to film a cop. Maybe they had a "sting" going. You wouldn't want that being filmed at the time. Just not enough here to make a good decision Rob. I'm usually pretty suspect about anything the ACLU does anymore anyway. If in fact they were going after illegals.............you KNOW where I'd be on that one!

some cops are comical. i went to cross the border by foot into mexico this week and when i returned to the usa this jack-booted border patrol guy started asking me all of these questions. i think he was insinuating that i was a drug dealer based upon the questions he was asking. i answered his questions, he asked to see my id, i complied, but he wanted to search and detain me because he says that i was "a bit defensive." after i was checked, no record, no warrants, no wrongdoing, but while he and his bunch were stopping a law abiding citizen, i wonder how many illegals were crossing the border. as a matter of fact, as i walked into mexico, i saw ppl in the rio grande. not sure if they were crossing into the usa, but i wonder if them detaining me allowed more ppl to come here illegally. i know, i know, they were just doing their jobs. usual excuse Last edited on 04:25 pm by bg |

Run it like a well oiled clock!! No question about what to do! EVERYONE show us your ID! If it's not legal ID, we're booting your ass out! If you don't like it and you resist, we resist in a force a bit more forceful! If you shoot at us, we'll shoot back, only you won't be left standing! Cut and dried! Once the word was out that our military was now on our borders, it wouldn't take long and all this crap would stop!  Sorry, I got carried away answering your post bg. <heh>Last edited on 04:43 pm by foxglovepress Justice for Mark.....Imprison Employers Who Hire ILLEGALS! |
