Small-town Kentucky Police Harassing Night Photographer:

Bored Kentucky cops mess with photographer for shooting photos of the police station.

This is what the Kentucky Secretary of State had to say about the people of Kentucky. Shameful.

Some of you may remember the post from a few weeks ago titled Photographer Vs. Security: The Ultimate Showdown. Well, it looks like yet another photographer has been harassed and decided to make light of the situation. Jason Macchioni, a Pennsylvania-based photographer, had a run in with police in his area and as is par for the course these days, tempers flared.

Every cop in a small northern Mexican town quit Tuesday after gunmen heavily sprayed their brand new police headquarters Monday night.

ACLU files lawsuit against DC police for detaining photographer.

Pennsylvania photographer Jason Macchioni was taking photographs from a bridge in Elizabethtown the other night for a time-lapsed video, which naturally got the cops thinking he would then try to blow up the bridge or something.

This small army of officers, night after night, spends much of its energy pursuing the controversial Police Department tactic known as “Stop, Question, Frisk,” and it does so at a rate unmatched anywhere else in the city.

VOLUSIA COUNTY, Fla. (WOFL FOX 35) - In a surprise move Monday night the city of Oak Hill eliminated its entire police department.

The police chief and a few officers were under scrutiny for alleged illegal and odd behavior. The city council was so fed up they simply wiped out the entire department.

British police stopped a photographer for taking pictures of a highly-sensitive, and top secret Christmas bagpipe parade. When police agreed that he didn't have to provide ID, the police changed their story and claimed that taking photos of a parade was antisocial. [summary lifted from slashdot]
