However, they did take the camera; even if they didn't delete the pics, that's still a search and seizure and when I asked for probable cause they just said: "We suspect you're doing something illegal" or words to that effect. (They also said: "We're conducting an investigation" with no further details.) Since they detained me on the scene, they require some standard of proof that I'm doing something wrong; I believe it's "reasonable suspicion" to detain me on the scene and "probable cause" for an actual arrest-and-take-to-station. Perhaps the handcuffs were excessive use of force? I plan on calling the NYCLU tomorrow, and shall be asking for legal advice from them. The flexyourrights.org website mainly just describes your legal rights, which I know (more or less). They don't offer legal assistance. |
