Man Sues After Arrest For Recording Police
Of course, the officers were afraid of him and his scary camera
September 29, 2011, Huntington Police pulled a vehicle over and started searching it. Joseph Pniewski of Huntington captures it all on tape.
"Sir, could I ask what you are doing?" asks on of the officers. "I'm recording what's going on for the purpose of community response," said Pniewski.
He said he's a freelance investigative journalist. He adds the purpose of the video he shot last September is to further document what he says are questionable practices by Huntington Police.
