"Cell Phone Picture Called Obstruction Of Justice
Man Arrested For Shooting Photo Of Police Activity
PHILADELPHIA -- A Philadelphia family said they are outraged over the arrest of one of their family members.
The family of Neftaly Cruz said police had no right to come onto their property and arrest their 21-year-old son simply because he was using his cell phone's camera. They told their story to Harry Hairston and the NBC 10 Investigators.
Cruz, 21, told the NBC 10 Investigators that police arrested him last Wednesday for taking a picture of police activity with his cell phone.
Police at the 35th district said they were in Cruz's neighborhood that night arresting a drug dealer.
"I opened (the phone) and took a shot," Cruz said.
Moments later, Cruz said he got the shock of his life when an officer came to his back yard gate.
"He opened the gate and took me by my right hand," Cruz said.
A neighbor said she witnessed the incident and could not believe what she saw.
"He opened up the gate and Neffy was coming down and he went up to Neffy, pulled him down, had Neffy on the car and was telling him, 'You should have just went in the house and minded your own business instead of trying to take pictures off your picture phone,'" said Gerrell Martin.
The NBC 10 Investigators asked the ACLU union how they viewed the incident.
"There is no law that prevents people from taking pictures of what anybody can see on the street," said Larry Frankel of the American Civil Liberties Union. "I think it's rather scary that in this country you could actually be taken down to police headquarters for taking a picture on your cell phone of activities that are clearly visible on the street.""

90% of those who aspire to become cops are not psychologically fit to be in a position of such power.

I almost got arrested in the mid 90's for taping a cop during a police stop. It is nothing new. When abusing power, they don't like to be filmed. The excuse the cop used with me was "obstructing justice".

you say 90% 'aspire' to become cops who are unfit mentally
i'd say 90% of the current cops today are only in it for power
cops should consider someone taking a pic of them flattering,the flash could be something much more better from our point of views
