New Haven Police Continue Their Crackdown Against Videographers

• Photography Is Not a Crime
Luis Luna was arrested September 25 for videotaping a group of cops breaking up a fight. He was charged with interfering with police and spent the night in jail.

Police even stated in their report that he was arrested - under orders of New Haven Assistant Police Chief Ariel Melendez - for refusing to stop filming after he was ordered to do so, which is hardly interfering.
