$41,000
Detained in a cruiser for filming police in public.
What happened
Cameraman Terrell Clayton was filming police in Colorado Springs as part of a First Amendment audit. Officers detained him in a cruiser and took his camera and phone.
The lawsuit and outcome
Colorado Springs agreed to pay Clayton $41,000, as reported by KKTV.
The department’s policy was also put in writing: a General Order clarifying that recording police from a public place is not, by itself, suspicious activity.
