The Right To Record Cops, Ctd

Balko points to a new incident of police misconduct:

Miami Beach police did their best to destroy a citizen video that shows them shooting a man to death in a hail of bullets Memorial Day. First, police pointed their guns at the man who shot the video, according to a Miami Herald interview with the videographer. Then they ordered the man and his girlfriend out the car and threw them down to the ground, yelling “you want to be fucking paparazzi?” Then they snatched the cell phone from his hand and slammed it to the ground before stomping on it.

Regarding the man's next move, Balko nods, "Hiding the SIM card in his mouth was a ballsy move." Above is the footage from that SIM card.
