Reporters testify against officers who they say threatened and arrested them for taking videos and photos.

Several journalists described run-ins with New Orleans police Tuesday as they testified about allegations that city officers routinely arrest or threaten people who film them.

Greg Griffith and Noah Learned sued in December 2007, claiming police violated their constitutional rights when they were arrested at a Carnival parade that year.

Their lawsuit, backed by the American Civil Liberties Union, cites 11 other incidents since 2005 in which people were arrested or allegedly threatened while videotaping, photographing or observing police officers.

Sure, Big Brother has naked body scanners, facial recognition security, DNA databases, drones, tasers, Patriot Act sponsored internet spying, literally spying on children through built-in webcams via state-sponsored pedophilia with huge black market profit potential and basically cameras everywhere you go, but if you're a reporter videotaping cops, you're a terrorist. Welcome to the New World Order. Wake up fools!
