ARREST GT | Commissioner Loses It Over a Camera | Dekalb County Alabama

Күн бұрын

I visited the Dekalb County Administration building and where the commissioner chambers are located to document the government building. While checking out the public spaces inside a taxpayer funded government building, I was approached by a rather rude and very unprofessional commissioner.
Commissioner ordered a reserve deputy which provides security to the building to place me under arrest.

It encourages a dialogue and shows respect for others. Good dialogue makes good changes. Being dismissive from the start doesn't educate anyone. Plus, there are people out there legitimately afraid of being photographed/filmed by someone they don't know, probably (I'm not a mental health guy) akin to stage fright. They're not thinking about your rights at that moment. They just want to protect themselves. Of course there's a point where you have to interrupt your training session because that one kid in the back won't STFU. In this video, that kid is a Dekalb County Commissioner.

As a journalist, when you record a newsworthy event like this, you need to be sure to include the names and positions of any and all government employees involved, either in the video or in the comments below the video. Other independent journalists might want to call them to follow up on your news report. You did identify some of the participants in this video, but you should identify everybody so we can tell the good guys from the bad guys and respond appropriately. I imagine a lot of folks have reached out to Mr. Harcrow by now.
