Cop totally wrong, outraged that they behaved this way, etc.
That said, filming someone’s DUI stop is kind of a jerkish thing to do. Does the photog think he’s breaking new journalistic ground or something?

re: #1 Randall Gross

You know I have more than a few bones to pick with PINAC and the advocate photogs. Refusing to provide ID? Bad idea. Deliberately provoking encounters etc. One of these days I’ll do up a Page on my far more moderate (shocking right?) take on how to manage getting the recording or photos despite illegal interference, by police or a guard or even a bystander. There are those that take pleasure in pushing on the circumstances around their favorite right or privilege.

I am outraged by police breaking the rules. But my response is very different than the crew at PINAC. I look at these stories and count myself lucky, but I also recall how many times a kind word and a biz card offered up has let me talk myself into cordoned areas despite not having a press pass. Recent example-Again I got a chance to get some images of the LAPD heli circling close. I grabbed my big telephoto and went to town. I’m so sure they spotted me aiming that long gray cylinder right at them that I email a couple of the nicer shots to the air officers vie LAPD public affairs office. I’m looking to soften hearts and minds about photographers in general.

Detroit Local Powers First EV Charging Road in North America The road, about a mile from Local 58's hall, uses rubber-coated copper inductive-charging coils buried under the asphalt that transfer power to a receiver pad attached to a car's underbelly, much like how a phone can be charged wirelessly. ...
