This… is Sergeant Jennifer Larson and Lieutenant Donald Milazzo. Both police officers that had served for over 20 years, being deposed for the illegal apprehension and arrest of a woman named Samantha ** A.K.A “Pink Camera Magic” on YouTube who had been recording at the Cook County Courthouse building from outside.

The interaction begins with Lieutenant Milazzo approaching Samantha and stating that she can’t record in a public building, and that is enough reason for him to detain her as she didn’t provide her id. But what Milazzo doesn’t know is that what he’s doing is actually illegal. As it is completely legal to take photographs or film public places in all states, unless oral conversations are recorded which is not the case here.

After noticing multiple times that he was being recorded Milazzo finally decided to aggressively grab Samantha’s camara with which she was recording him, to later detain her and take her inside.
