San Diego Police Attack and Arrest Man Video Recording Them, Claiming Phone Could be a Weapon

By Carlos Miller

San Diego police slapped a cell phone camera out of a man's hands Saturday, claiming it could be a weapon, before pouncing on him and handcuffing him, lacerating his chin in the process.

Adam Pringle ended up jailed overnight on charges of obstruction because he refused to hand the phone over when the cop ordered him to do so.

But it's already been established by numerous court cases as well as the U.S. Department of Justice that police do not have the right to take your camera unless it is being used in a commission of a crime.

In this case, Pringle's only crime was smoking a cigarette on a Mission Beach boardwalk, a violation for which he was already getting cited.

Why would the San Diego police department continue to employ a man who lacks the wherewithal to distinguish between a cell phone and a weapon? Evidently the policeman equates recording of events, the opportunity of the public to see how their tax dollars are squandered, as a danger to himself equal to or greater than a citizen defending themselves with a weapon.

A weapon? Really? The cop wasn't worried about it earlier in the video. Clearly this cop (like all do) has control issues.
And the Government wants to take our guns and is worried about people with mental issues? LOL They must think were stupid. Cops are compulsive Liars, Control freaks, Steriod users and Sadistic in nature. And it's ok for them to have guns but not us?
I don't think so.
