CarlosMiller.com – South Florida model jailed overnight for videotaping police officers

There is a story that Carlos made public late last night/early this morning, 3/6/09. The story involves a lady videotaping police officers after her son was arrested for trying to walk into a movie theater with a friend on a single ticket. The whole incident turned into a nightmare for the South Florida model, Tasha Ford.  According to Carlos,

She said one of the officers, Robert Kellman, pictured right, was extremely antagonistic towards her and told her son, “since your mother is such a fucking asshole, I’m going to arrest you for trespassing’.”

This is extremely unprofessional and uncalled for.  Under no circumstances should someone, especially with the status of Police Officer, falsify information or threaten an individual.

There are more and more incidents of police trampling over our rights as citizens in the United States of America.  Photographers and videographers alike have to fight day to day with police and security guards over the fact that taking photographs in public places is a protected right under the United States Constitution, the 1st Amendment.
