A citizen photographer, Randall Thomas, was filming and taking pictures while standing on a pubic sidewalk when threatened aggressively by the NYPD with arrest.
According to the video evidence an “incompetent” police officer approached the camera wielding citizen Thomas, telling him, “You are making a lot of people uncomfortable… I got another 8 hours, I’ll follow you all around town. That’s not a crime”.
Thomas replied, “No it’s not a crime, but it’s a waste of tax payer dollars”.
After a brief conversation with the police, Thomas was then arrested.
This goes to show that America is now almost equivalent to the former Nazi Germany style police state.

The photographer still has the right to his day in court. Maybe he should use it.
