Citizen Journalist Arrested During OWS March Fights City & Wins

TonyVera — Wed, 16 May 2012 19:02:30 +0000

In the first major legal victory for those detained during Occupy Wall Street demonstrations, Manhattan Criminal Court Judge Matthew Sciarrino found photojournalist Alexander Arbuckle not guilty of disorderly conduct after a two day trial.
Arbuckle was arrested early New Year’s Day around 13th Street and Fifth Avenue for allegedly blocking traffic during an OWS march. However, Arbuckle’s attorneys, Paul Keefe and Gideon Oliver of the National Lawyer’s Guild—New York City Chapter, used footage shot by videographer Tim Pool to show that wasn’t the case. The arrests occur between the 31:00 and 35:00 marks in the video below.
Many protesters charged with disorderly conduct are offered an Adjournment in Contemplation of Dismissal [ACD], which essentially means that they’re let off the hook if they agree not to fight the charges and stay out of trouble for six months. Arbuckle, however, decided to fight it. “The video, paired with my client’s testimony, swayed the judge’s mind,” Keefe says. “The judge found that the prosecution hadn’t shown that he intended to block traffic, and even if he actually did obstruct the roadway, any blockage was too insignificant to merit an arrest.”
“Hearing the verdict was a mixture of relief and vindication,” Arbuckle says. “I knew I hadn’t done anything wrong.” Arbuckle, who will enter his senior year at NYU next year, majoring in photography and political science, said that his arresting officer “completely fabricated her testimony.”
Asked if he feels his dealings with the police are typical of others who have been detained at Occupy Wall Street protests, Arbuckle says, “I can’t really speak for other officers who make up stories in court, but most of [the police] seem like they try their hardest to be professional and good natured.”
“This is a victory for citizen journalists and non-accredited journalists,” Arbuckle adds. “The more cameras that are there the more people are held accountable for their actions.”

Posted by LAFD Media and Public Relations
On June 17, 2010 the Los Angeles Lakers won the NBA Championship title at the Staples Center. A large celebratory crowd gathered outside the complex. Individuals began acts of vandalism and arson, which included the burning of a taxicab. Information and evidence provided by spectators in the crowd, enabled the LAFD Arson/Counter-Terrorism Section to identify and subsequently arrest one of the suspects in this case. This suspect has been identified as Darren Cooper. He has been charged with one count of arson to property in the burning of a taxicab.

The Los Angeles Fire Department held a press conference, Wednesday May 9th, 2012 at 9:00 AM at Staples Center, regarding this arrest and asked for the public’s help in identifying five additional suspects.

If you are able to identify anyone in this video, call LAFD Arson/Counter-Terrorism Investigators at (213) 893-9800.
