During the October 20th protest against the Trapwire surveillance state that involved harmless substances such as chalk and silly string, the Metro Transit PD suddenly showed up to detain three of us. I was filming and found myself detained and my camera phone taken away from me by Metro Transit Officer (M.Ricardo, Badge 126).  No one was charged with anything and no "damage to property" occurred - as we were using our 1st amendment rights to chalk and protest the increasing surveillance state. I guess cops don't want you filming them as they film you :(
