[Vision2020] Freedom of the Press in Denver..NOT!!!

[Sunil Ramalingam]

Seems to me the police were out of line here, as well as whoever called to complain about the reporters.  But this is the same sort of thing that happens to protesters too; the trend has been to force people to areas out of sight of those whom they're protesting.  It's happening in Denver, it happened four years ago in New York, where they also arrested them en masse.

So the whole city of Denver is private property while the convention is in town, Donovan?

The reporter was on a public sidewalk, was pushed into and across the street by a cop before being "arrested".

The cameraman was told to stop filming while the reporter was being "arrested". THAT is an unawful order.

Thankfully he/she didn't stop recording.

With very few exceptions a photographer may shoot anything that is in view of public property, people, buildings, cars...even the police.
