Above is the video the Miami Police tried to keep you from seeing by smashing the cell phone after seizing the cell phone at the point of a gun. Fortunately, the videographer prudently removed the memory card and concealed it before the phone was smashed by the Gestapo.
As a point of law, the police may not confiscate a camera without a subpoena unless it was used in the actual commission of a crime, and the courts have repeatedly ruled that videotaping the police in public is not a crime.
Do not respect police who do not respect the law, and the highest law of the land is the Constitution.

"...after that, Paul Revere went to a biker's convention wearing a Christian cross around his neck. And then, he wore a Jewish star when he visited Israel. On the way to Israel, he stopped to visit his allies in North Korea."
Failed former Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin insists that she didn't flub the history of Paul Revere.
The former Alaska governor was widely mocked last week when she offered a skewed version of the Revere story.
Massachusetts Thursday.
"You know what, I didn't mess up about Paul Revere," Palin replied.
"Well, I got to tell you, I wasn't sure entirely before I asked you the question," Wallace admitted, "so I went to Google to make sure I knew as much. We both know now."
The detailed account of what happened on April 18, 1775 offered by the Paul Revere House in Boston differs from Palin's.

From the time she was born until about age six, Sarah Palin lived in a remote Alaskan town near the closest Canadian city, Whitehorse.
At a Canadian interview, she admitted that she used to get her treatment in Canada's single-payer healthcare system although she's opposed to the same system in the US.
Since Sarah and her parents frequented the medical care system in Canada, the question is wether her mother was rushed to a Canadian hospital to give birth to her little future governor, Sarah.
"We used to hustle over the border for health care we received in Canada," Palin said in her first Canadian appearance since stepping down as governor of Alaska. "And I think now, isn't that ironic?"
The irony, one guesses, is that Palin now views Canada's health care system as revolting: with its government-run administration and 'death-panel'-like rationing.
Clearly, however, she and her family once found it more alluring than, at the very least, the coverage available in rural Alaska and why one questions if she's really Canadian.
Officials at several hospitals in that area declined to give out information on patient visits.
