> the police appears to be able to arrest journalists without probable cause. Happened live
I haven't seen any stories/vids where they arrested journalists without probable cause in the US recently. Would you happen to have any links to share?
Thanks. I know the CNN crew were definitely arrested for cause, but I hadn't heard about the Australian crew. Although, I'll have to do more research on that one, because the link doesn't really give much context as to why they were confronted in the first place.
I can't believe I'm agreeing with your defense of CNN. We really are living in Bizarro World right now. Some people in the US have gone way too far down the authoritarian path.
So what? Unlawful orders are unlawful. The reporter and camera operator were not obstructing anything. They were in a position to observe, which is what the public wants them to do. Police will disagree, but police have lied so much that no one believes them anymore.
They are also macing and beating journos solely for lawfully filming cops. Makes it kind of hard to do the job even they don't arrest you. See topic article.
