Fighting the War on Cameras: Jerome Vorus and the ACLU take D.C. to Court

Views:984
@ReasonVids

Can the police detain you for taking pictures of a routine traffic stop? Police in Washington D.C. say they can.

In 2010, photographer and student Jerome Vorus was detained and questioned by police after he photographed a traffic stop in Georgetown. The ACLU says he was illegally detained and has filed a lawsuit on his behalf. Vorus recently sat down with Reason.tv's Nick Gillespie to discuss what happened that day and where his case currently stands.

With cameras and other recording devices becoming more affordable, cases like Vorus' have become all too common. For more information on this disturbing trend, read Reason magazine's January 2011 cover story "The War on Cameras" (http://reason.com/archives/2010/12/07/the-war-on-cameras) with the companion piece "How to Record the Cops" (http://reason.com/archives/2010/12/21/how-to-record-the-cops) and watch Reason.tv's documentary "The Government's War on Cameras!" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LY0MUARqisM)

Shot by Jim Epstein and Joshua Swain. Edited by Swain. About 4.18 minutes.
