Police Officers Sue Fellow Officers Over Videotaping

HeadlineFeb 03, 2006

In other news, the New York Police Department is again being sued for videotaping demonstrators — but this time, by fellow police officers. According to the New York Times, officers with the Patrolmen’s Benevolent Association, a police union, are suing the city for videotaping them at rallies they held during labor negotiations with the city. The rallies were held in the summer of 2004. During that same summer, the NYPD conducted videotaping and undercover espionage at several anti-war protests and bike rallies.
