After seeing people being brutalized by police while leaving clubs, Rickey began turning capturing the attacks on film. This has made him a target. Police have repeatedly stopped him, taken his cameras and film, arrested him on bogus charges and beaten him. Four cops, in particular, have made it their personal mission to harass him. He has made a number of complaints to Civilian Review Authority to no avail. Still, this has not stopped Rickey from capturing brutal police on both still photos and video, which he continues to do to this day.
