Sounds like a first amendment issue. He should get an attorney and look into a section 1983 lawsuit. A man in Colorado was detained, handcuffed and held in the back of a police car for filming police and got $40,000, along with the city agreeing to train officers on public photography and the first amendment. Maybe it'd send a message and hold them accountable, but then again cities and counties have insurance policies to pay for it anyways.
I wish more people were aware of their rights, it's sad people who are supposed to protect and serve, and sworn an oath to uphold the constitution yet they willingly and knowingly take advantage of uninformed people.
I am starting to wonder if police officers and even some judges who get sworn in have even ever read the constitution, or just raise their hand and repeat what they are told as part of the oath. Should quiz them on the constitution before they are given the oath, and if they fail the quiz they are disqualified from taking the oath and have to get held back until they improve and try again.

After security breaches (Apple, Adobe, Equifax), it unfair to say that all software developers fill their products with atrocious security flaws. 2. A jaded outlook. When you spend most of your day with people who lie, manipulate, and assault you, it's easy to sop caring about their rights.
