Here's a heartwarming story for once:
A journalist who the cops hated was down photographing the eviction of an OWS encampment. He got arrested for just standing around, the cops confiscated his camera, and deleted the footage he shot (in typical fashion). However, he managed to recover the footage, got acquited of the bogus charges against him because of it, and is now suing the Miami PD.

If I was that guy I'd be going in for a fat settlement too :drool:
