Maurice Crawley was arrested on July 28th in Syracuse NY in retaliation for legally filming the police during a traffic stop.

At the time, one of the (unidentified) Syracuse police officers involved in the stop told him that if he said "one word," he'd be arrested, in spite of the fact that he hadn't said anything to them previously. When he asked the officer to repeat himself because he couldn't hear what he said, he was arrested.

After appearing in court on charges of obstruction and resisting arrest he was released, although he still had to spend time in jail for simply filming the police, which has been ruled to be a First Amendment protected act.
