The community outrage in Anaheim California is fueled in part by the fact that images of police brutality were acught on camera. But across the US RT has reported on police demanding people to stop recording them, stripping them of their phones even arresting people for rolling the camera. All this raised questions over Americans' First Ammendment rights.
