Arizona police arrest a photographer for taking pictures of federal buildings
When they’re not raiding the homes of bloggers who are critical of them, Phoenix police are harassing photographers, telling them that it is illegal to take pictures of federal buildings, public transportation, stadiums, street lights and banks.
William J. Nash-McAdam told the Downtown Phoenix Journal that he and a friend were detained by a Phoenix cop last weekend who took their identifications and informed them that they had violated some Homeland Security statute.
When they asked him to cite the specific statute, the cop told them to “Google it,” according to the article.
Can't we get a google street view of almost every Federal building in the country?
