Man Arrested For Unlawful Photography | TriCities

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.

“He said if you don’t give it to me, you’re going to jail,” said Conover.

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.

Wow, I think just about every media reporter would be in jail by now if that was true.

This thread is totally not what I thought it was going to be.

Total douchebaggery.

A-holes like that are the very reason that so many people hate cops. Plus 5 for the other officer for not backing up the deputy's BS story.
