Fascist outlaw terrorist cops illegally arrested citizens with cameras.
PHILADELPHIA, Pennsylvania (PNN) - January 17, 2013 - As we’ve seen in cases throughout the Fascist Police States of Amerika, the Philadelphia pig thug cop department’s guidelines to terrorist pig thug cops stating that citizens have the right to record went pretty much ignored, leaving the Amerikan Civil Liberties Union no choice but to sue them.
Considering terrorist Philly pig thug cops have committed so many violations against citizens who record them, the ACLU has enough plaintiffs to file a series of lawsuits, which is exactly what they plan to do.
The first lawsuit, filed Wednesday, involves a photojournalism student named Christopher Montgomery who was arrested and had video footage illegally deleted from his iPhone in January 2011 by terrorist outlaw pig thug cops after he video recorded cops making an arrest.
Montgomery was charged with disorderly conduct, which is the usual catchall charge fascist outlaw pig thug cops use when they can’t find an actual law that was broken.
He was convicted, which shows just how broken the system is.
But he appealed and had the conviction reversed, which opened up the avenues to allow him to sue for First Amendment retaliation, malicious prosecution, illegal search and seizure, and false arrest.
Although the lawsuit does not list the spoliation of evidence as a cause of action, they plan to make that an issue as it progresses.
“Spoliation of evidence is not a claim for damage but it will certainly come up as we litigate,” said ACLU attorney Mary Catherine Roper.
Roper said they are putting the finishing touches on two more lawsuits, which they expect to file in the next few days; and they have several more lawsuits planned following those.
At least two of those incidents took place after September 2011 when the department issued new guidelines to its pig thug cops, stating that citizens have the right to record.
