Boston pays $170k to settle cell phone recording lawsuit

http://arstechnica.com –

The City of Boston has agreed to pay Simon Glik $170,000 in damages and legal fees to settle a civil rights lawsuit. Glik was arrested in 2007 on Boston Common for using his cell phone to record the arrest of another man.
