An HDNet World Report team shooting at a Miami-Dade Metrorail Station captured a dramatic altercation between a local journalist and a Metrorail security guard – a clash now at the center of the debate over whether citizens can use their cameras in public places, and videotape their own interactions with police.
The blogger, Carlos Miller, says he was exercising First Amendment rights by videotaping at the Metrorail station, when a security guard grabbed his video camera and confiscated it. Miller then recorded the rest of the confrontation using his iPhone. An HDNet World Report camera captured the entire encounter for an upcoming story on First Amendment Rights and taping police.
