Either there was something there that was not supposed to be reported, or that guy's just a dick.

Freedom of the press? sure... whatever 'they' say. Sorry, but the North America is fast becoming a joke... but the sad part is that NOBODY is laughing. Wonder what was IN the truck...hmm?

On another site, it states: "According to ABC-7, Hunt and cameraman Ric Dupont were sent out to film a flipped semi on the interstate. They parked on the shoulder of the other side of the road as men in military fatigues were helping pull the driver out of the cab." http://rawstory.com/news/2008/Cop_handcuffs_reporter_for_covering_traffic_0422.html

No, those are not the current military uniforms that we wear. The only organizations who wear those now are militia and para-military since they can purchase them through surplus vendors.

maybey the officer was just stressed out, it happens to the best of us. But does anyone know what happened after that did they go to jail or were released, another question does anyone know what was in the truck? maybey thats why he was stressed out???

Some citizens helped the motorist from the wreck. Sargent Ramirez felt useless so he arrested a reporter for "causing a scene" loFl
