Police Officer Fired Over Questionable Confrontation, Would Have Gone Unnoticed Without YouTube Video

In the last two years we had many stories about people arrested for filming police. Although it appears that the courts increasingly recognized that the activity is protected location, there were some odd moments, including the famous Court of Appeals Judge Richard Posner, who complain about how allowing that the images would mean that

happen


But as we have seen time and again, shooting the police is one of the few ways to show the abuse of police power. In summer 2007, a police officer named Salvatore Rivieri in Baltimore decided to use his position to harass a child line in the port of Baltimore. As part of his harassment, took one of the guys skate after him on the floor and I cried. This was shot by another child ... and was uploaded to YouTube a few months later:









the end, you hear the official start to wonder if filmed - and notes that "if I'm in ...." With his speech, it seems certain that he was about to warn other children about the online video, but do not know exactly what was said. Anyway, the video is online (possibly a few months after the incident) and put enough attention.
Following the massive publicity storm video download online, Rivieri was suspended (with pay) a few days after the video was in early 2008. More than two years later, a disciplinary tribunal Rivieri cleared of most serious charges ("Using excessive force and unnecessary" and "absolute courtesy"), but guilty of failing to file an incident report or provide the child Contact an acknowledgment. "The Council recommended a short-term suspension. Instead, the police commissioner fired Rivieri, arguing that" his ability to work effectively with the citizens of Baltimore has been seriously compromised. " Last week, an appeals court upheld the state court of shooting Maryland (PDF embedded below - thank you to Eric Goldman alerts us to the history), agree that the Commissioner had the right to reject Rivieri.
