Leonard Niehoff, professor of law, teaches courses in evidence, media law and civil procedure. "Imagine how much more quickly—and perhaps effectively—the grand jury could have moved if there were videotape of the arrest," he said. "This is a relevant consideration because in recent years there has been an epidemic of police officers across the country forbidding citizens and journalists from taping their actions and arresting them if they do so. Indeed, it has been reported that in 2013 Officer Wilson himself arrested an individual for videotaping him. Those arrests are deeply problematic under the First Amendment. The events of Ferguson, and these grand jury proceedings, call the question: how are we to police the police?" Contact: 734-763-5145, [email protected] Bio: http://bit.ly/1uCiky4
