Canadian police are looking for a woman who attacked an animal rights activist outside a rodeo over the weekend.
And it probably won’t take long to find the woman considering she was clearly caught on camera.
A New Jersey California cop who was being video recorded by a smartphone said she was in fear for her life because the phone could have possibly been a gun, marking at least the fourth time this year a cop in this country has uttered those nonsensical words.
After all, if Detective Shannon Todd of the Newark Police Gang Unit was really so stupid to believe that the phone could have been a gun, then why did she first order the citizen to place it back into his pocket?
An animal rights activist was arrested Saturday for video recording from the stands of an Oregon rodeo, the same day rodeo officials hung up a makeshift sign banning video recording.
Prior to that, video recording was permitted from the stands of the Big Loop Rodeo in Jordan Valley, according to Steve Hindi, founder of the animal rights activist group, SHARK, which stands for Showing Animals Respect and Kindness.
A security guard for an Ohio shopping mall made a complete fool of herself as she tried to prevent people from taking photos of a truck that ended up in a ravine on mall property.
Officer Adams, as she describes herself in the above video, first threatened to confiscate cameras, then ordered people to delete their photos and finally ended up pushing a woman who immediately fought back.
New York City police officers arrested a woman who was video recording them from a public sidewalk as they conducted some type of “vehicle safety checkpoint.”
The officers apparently stole a memory card from a camera, which turned out to be the wrong one, allowing us to view the video.

A New York City photographer who is making national news by photographing people through their apartment windows, then displaying the photographs in an art gallery, is claiming he is not invading their privacy because he is simply lurking in the shadows of his own apartment with a telephoto lens.
“The neighbors don’t know they are being photographed; I carefully shoot from the shadows of my home into theirs,” he told the New York Post.
A week after Phoenix police turned Raymond Rodden’s life upside down because he photographed a federal building, they returned his iPhone, iPad and Macintosh computer, which they had been holding as “evidence” – even though his only crime was that he had walked into a public alleyway, a bogus charge that only applies to vehicles.
And the video he recorded on his iPhone prior to his arrest confirms what he told Photography is Not a Crime in an interview – that he had annoyed them by refusing to provide his identification.
It is easy to criticize this video because the guy insisted on holding the camera vertical, but it’s becoming obvious that smartphone companies need to build their phones to record horizontally even if you hold it vertically as we can do with the Flip.
After all, it’s easier to hold the phone with one hand when it’s in the vertical position.
