WAR AGAINST PHOTOGRAPHY UPDATE: Cops Would Be Liable Arresting Citizens For Recording Under Approved Conn. Bill. “The Connecticut state senate approved a bill Thursday that would allow citizens to sue police officers who arrest them for recording in public, apparently the first of its kind in the nation. . . . According to the Hartford Courant, the bill was inspired by the 2009 incident in which a priest was arrested for video recording cops inside a store shaking down immigrants, which led to a Department of Justice investigation and the arrest of four officers.”
