I don't really see the problem here. They didn't want them filming at a morgue, that is understandable since no family member would want them to broadcast videos of their loved ones bodies on the news.
The Morgue has to have cold storage for the remains and they would be neatly put away. Anywhere you go you can go to morgue and talk to people who work there who are supposed to be about transparency.
THis makes no sense what so ever. They are public servants keeping the location of other public servants secret.
See the vid HOW TO REACT WHEN A COP TELLS YOU IT'S ILLEGAL TO TAKE PHOTOS OR VIDEOS. People need to have the confidence to resist this absolute trash, or else they will lose their rights. This type stuff really pisses me off.Shameful how scared CNN was.
I agree the cops were in the wrong about the cameras and their treatment of these members of the press. I have done cop watch with camcorders and had cps shine their large flashlights at me when it was dark enough to disturb the quality of the video.
I have also had them tell the person they are dealing with that I am making a bad situation for them and ask if they want the videotaping to stop. And when the guy says 'yes,' I've been told to stop because the persona of interest asked me to. (I usually didn't unless the person continues to object.
I hope they keep at these people and determine why the paranoia, and they cn get the cops to back pedal on this if they do. Because they clearly were in the wrong.
