Twincities.com recently published a news story about Andrew Henderson, a Little Canada citizen who is being charged with obstruction of legal process and disorderly conduct.
Henderson video recorded police outside of his apartment as they were dealing with a bloody-face man. The Ramsey County deputy Jacqueline Muellner quickly took possession of Henderson’s camera, even though he was thirty feet away from the incident, and calmly reciting his legal right to be recording in a public space.
As of late, courts have been siding with the public in cases like Henderson’s, especially when dealing with police. It should be interesting to see how this one turns out, seeing as Henderson was completely within his right to record.
