Ron Paul Delegates Arrested at Louisiana Convention, Command Majority

[FSP-Rebel]

In future cases where the bulldogs do require people to give up recording devices as evidence, people should enable their phones with Qik which allows one to live broadcast to a website (and archive it) where one doesn't need to upload video later. So, the police can try to confiscate the video footage but since it is simultaneously posted online, they can't erase it.

I also use Qik. Highly recommended, particularly for those instances.

how is this different from hiring tough guys to beat someone up ?
further questions -
so if off duty police officers are providing security for a private event - they are basically security guards, right ?
in this case should they be wearing "police uniforms" or some other uniforms ?
how much authority do they really have ?
like one officer was about to confiscate the phone of a guy recording the fracas - does he have the authority to do that ?
and was recording banned in this convention at all ?

It isn't.

I have the same questions as those. But I don't believe they should be wearing "policie uniforms" and they should not have "police" authority, it would be more like "citizens arrest" authority only, wouldn't it?

I tried qik and it didn't start uploading until I stopped the recording. When I interrupted the upload (as a test) by turning off the phone, the whole upload failed. What am I doing wrong?

About the uniforms, different PD's have different rules for 'moonlighting'. Some will allow them to wear their uniforms while moonlighting as security, others forbid moonlighting altogether. Generally, an officer can make an arrest whether off-duty or on duty.

I'm pretty sure if the guy would have given up his phone, we would never see it.
