The woman at the end of the broadcast said that "Police officers can confiscate anything they want that they consider to be evidence as long as they give you a property receipt."

Such crap.

The line about property receipts and can confiscate anything they want seems to not align with the 4th amendment. Saying that nobody has filed a complaint also contradicts the part where the guy is standing next to his lawyer. Hah. Do the reporters just spew what cops tell them without any other inquiries? These news reporters are obviously not wanting to upset the cops, possibly for fear of retaliation. A news org that cannot get near accidents or crime scenes would be completely neutered.

We've had problems with cops and when we call in to complain they even deny they have a cops with those names. "Alright then, I want to file a report of an armed man impersonating a cop, driving wildly drunk". The same little piggy pulled my brother over 300 times, never writing him a ticket. Glad that little piggy got clipped.

Wow, that actually passes for journalism there ?

Seems almost like a puff piece for the police department. No wonder Carlos isn't working for a news organization like that, they have no guts to protect their journalists.

They also added in gunfire from the car going through the intersection, the original video does not include those shots fired as the car speed towards the intersection.
Not only is this a complete fluff piece and full of misinformation but it is also falsified with added sound effects.

Miami Beach PD Confiscated News Camera After Shooting (Video)

having said that, a friend had a very interesting view of this and stated "it is legal for the police to confiscate evidence without a warrant", if what they are doing is protecting the evidence. now adding to what my friend stated and what GLENNA said on the "AIR"!

they are both correct, now as soon as the police smashed the "cellphone" in an attempt to destroy "the evidence", it becomes a crime that the police should be charged with.

So, in part, GLENNA was correct if she wasnt reporting on what completely happened on MONDAY, but she was. and this, i think, makes her completely in the wrong!

what happened to the channel 10 news cameraman may have been legal, but what happened to anyone that had their CELLPHONE smashed by MBPD was illegal!
[i believe the smashing of the cellphones shows intent, and also makes what happen to the channel 10 news cameraman also illegal]

There was a photographer in Dallas at the JFK shooting
who claimed "authorities" seized and destroyed his footage, images closer than Zapruder captured.
Good to see Miami police are lining up with
such lofty characters in history.
I feel proud.
BTW Is the cop doing the "angry chimp walk" at :43
of the Benoit clip the same guy who seizes the
Brian Eli camera?

Florida cops tell citizen that 1st and 4th amendments don't apply to a mobile command center at a gas station.

Even if a cop cannot legally take your camera, there is so little accountability pressed onto law enforcement that it really doesn't matter, they beat and terrorize and murder, and IF found guilty receive little more than a slap-on-the-wrist, whereas any other citizen who beats and murders somebody is guaranteed to get a harsher sentence than a cop for the very SAME crime! I think this situation should be the opposite, where an authority figure who is misusing their authority should, without exception, receive vastly harsher sentences than the general citizenry, BECAUSE they have such authority and responsibilities as law enforcement.
