Alameda Sheriff boots reporter from SWAT show for "unauthorized photos"

Cory Doctorow 11:49 am Mon Sep 8, 2014

Though he was there on a press-badge, after a day's tweeting from the event, he was evicted from the event and had his press-credentials yanked by the Sheriff's office's PR guy, for "unauthorized photography." Bauer was also recently evicted from a trade-show for prisons.

For the record, @ACSOSheriffs, I wasn’t aware there were public places in the US where picture taking needed to be “authorized” by the cops.

Just talked to @ACSOSheriffs PR guy. Said they took our credentials for taking "unauthorized photos." He won’t say where. We can’t go back.
