A photographer was arrested on Saturday afternoon for taking photos and video outside of an NYPD Housing Authority police stationon Central Avenue in Bushwick. Randall Thomas tells the website Photography Is Not A Crime that he was standing on the sidewalk outside the premises for about one hour taking photos to "prepare for an upcoming trial stemming from a January arrest in which police deleted his footage after he had recorded them making an abusive arrest."
