Arrested for Photographing LAPD

On June 2, 2013, while standing on a public sidewalk and approximately 90 ft. away, Shawn Nee was arrested for photographing officers from the Los Angeles Police Department.  The officers claimed he interfered with their police investigation.  Shawn was transported to the Hollywood police station, handcuffed to a bench, and escorted into an interrogation room where he was questioned by a detective.  The arrest lasted approximately  1 1/2 to 2 hours.  Shawn was eventually released without charge.

    That there sir is an unlawful detention and/or kidnapping, and a violation of usc 1983 civil rights violation and actionable in both state and federal court. You start by filing a formal internal affairs complaint and sending copies to the chief of police, the prosecutor’s office and the mayor. If the prosecutors office refuses to file charges, and he will, then find an attorney who hates the police and is willing to file federal charges.

    At the very least, the city attorney will want to settle out of court for 20 to $30k just to avoid trial expenses and risking a loss of hundreds of thousands.

    The officer clearly made a mistake, you could really send a message by signing an agreement with the city to remove the city from the lawsuit, stipulating the officer acted outside the scope of his employment, thereby, relieving the city’s obligation to fund the officer’s defence.

    The officer will then have to turn to his union and his own personal savings to fund an adequate defense.

    A loss in a 1983 civil rights action can result in all attorneys feed paid plus high monetary penalties and prison time. This is a no bullshit course of action and quickly gets law enforcement attention.

    The police are not affected by blogs or protesters. They hardly rate as a nuisance.

    Anyone with older aluminum siding will be well aware of the paint chalking
    problem. On most other residential painting you would
    need many more drop cloths of varying sizes and shapes and materials.
    When matched against finished job by paint brushes and rollers, paint
    sprayers go a step further.

    After you have installed the application, use a graphic editor
    program to create an “Advertising Box” (or graphic that simply says “Advertise Here. If that weren’t enough, Koobface also displays Captchas that prompt you to enter codes or letter quickly or else your computer will shut down along with error messages such as ‘error installing codec. Be sure to fill out as much information as possible in the Information tab.
