A group in a municipal office in Hialeah, Florida, making a request for public records was detained by police because employees felt “we had ‘invaded’ the city clerk’s office and ‘attacked’ them with our cameras, putting them ‘under threat’ and causing them to feel ‘intimidated,’” Carlos Miller fromPhotography Is Not a Crime wrote on his blog.
In a separate incident the next day, a man making a request for records in Miami claims he was threatened with arrest.

The pressure builds. CITIZENS now are "invading" the offices of government, "attacking" people with their CAMERA'S (WTF!?), and "intimidating" them by filming them while asking for PUBLIC RECORDS. Did the police tell those sissy public SERVICE employees to just do their job and not worry about a camera? Oh no. They "detained" the citizens! Sounds like perfectly plausible scenario. In China.
