Nor was it the way they tightened the handcuffs on me until they cut off the circulation in my wrists. Nor was it the way one officer twisted my right wrist backwards until I yelled out in pain. Nor was it the way an officer threatened to taze me if I did not shut my mouth.It wasn’t even the way the sergeant taunted me at the precinct by saying, “I don’t know what police department you’re used to dealing with, but this is Miami PD and we don’t put up with that kind of crap here.â€No, the most humiliating part of my arrest was when I was ordered into a small dark room at the Miami-Dade County Jail and ordered to drop my pants, bend over and spread my cheeks while a jail guard with a flashlight ensured that I was not smuggling any contraband into the jail.
TestimonialsThe Good"Carlos Miller and his blog Photography Is Not A Crime has to be the best blog I have come across to date that documents the ongoing battle that photographers and videographers are facing in increasing numbers." Hodson Report"Anyone who promises to 'mock, madden and maybe even muckrake' has my attention - especially when he's fighting for my right to plant my sticks wherever the Constitution says I can." Lenslinger"With a seemingly increasing number of stories of police harassing and arresting photographers making headlines, one man has made it his job to watch the police." B-roll"This is not a partisan issue. It's a police abuse-of-power issue, and 'security' is no excuse for this sort of totally unacceptable and unconstitutional behavior by officers of the law. Carlos Miller is a great source of information about these unfolding stories." Brendan LoyCarlos Miller runs "one of Miami's best blogs." Miami New TimesI have a bunch of RSS feeds on my smartphone, and I tell ya, this is one i read constantly. Great info, and it is unbelievable what is going on right here in the USA.... Virginia Beach Photo ClubThe Bad"This Carlos Miller character is just a jerk, no redeeming social or personal value." Conservative Cave"You're a good writer, Carlos, but until you're able to recognize and acknowledge your biases, your quests for justice will be seen by most as little more than sour grapes by a man with a chip on his shoulder." South Florida Daily BlogThe Ugly"You are a cockroach and boil on the ass of journalism in Miami and the sooner that responsible journalists in Miami disown you and repudiate your actions the better." "Hank"

Tx, I gave you a H5 for this:
Uh, sir, that was I who was quoted.I need to say that not for my own ego, but for historical accuracy.
And yet, for others at the DU it's simply a lifestyle choice.Cindie
Gotta take that one back and give it to the eloquent man who said it...franksolich.RimJob erased all of my comments.
I saw those today.
That picture of the cops across the top of his page is priceless. He did get a good shot there.I'll caption the cops from right to left:"You POS.""Oh no you DIH-int!""I am SO going to enjoy kicking your ass.""DUmmy knucklehead, meet Mister Elbow."
Did you see the "Legal Defense Fund" on the left side, just under the pic at the top? He's got options from $5.00 to $500.00, but nothing for "Healing White Light."
Also no option to send pictures of your hands.
