Alaska state trooper seizes reporter's camera memory card [View all]
". . . Trooper Sgt. Michael Ingram pulled over O’Connor’s vehicle and demanded that O’Connor turn over either his camera or the memory card documenting the arrest, saying it was potential evidence. O’Connor offered to share the images with law enforcement, but Ingram said he had to take the card into his possession and O’Connor complied with the order. . .
On Friday, the Frontiersman sent a formal letter of complaint to the Department of Public Safety, alleging that Sgt. Ingram had no right to seize the memory card and had violated the paper’s rights under the First and Fourth Amendments to the U.S. Constitution.
