Filming the police is legal, but that doesn’t stop them from arresting people for it

Another Ohio resident has been arrested under the dubious charge of “misconduct during an emergency,” which has been used again by Ohio police to incarcerate another person who filmed them in action.

The arrest raises vexing questions about an obscure Ohio law that gives law enforcement almost unfettered power to detain and charge bystanders. PAR investigates how this statute may have been abused during a tense standoff, and the implications for citizen journalists who seek to record police.
