"...cops illegally arrest, detain, and cuff a 17-year-old honor student for using her cell phone to record them in public. They then illegally deleted the video..."

Within a decade miniature, wearable, instantly uploadable cameras should be ubiquitous, and then this heavy-handed illegal bullshit will be moot.  One can hope.  Till then, you can only keep pointing out when your rights are abridged by those who are supposed to be protecting them.

"Newark cops illegally arrest, detain, and cuff a 17-year-old honor student for using her cell phone to record them in public. They then illegally deleted the video, destroying evidence. The student is suing. That isn’t enough. This crap isn’t going to stop until the cops who engage in it are criminally charged."
