What do you think ... ?

My guess is that the prosecutor will throw out the charge, presuming it is not quietly withdrawn before trial ...

I think the cop "has issues".

Either had a real bad night previously or someone slipped through the screening big time. I understand everyone has a bad day from time to time but Cops have guns and ticket book. Part of me thinks that he should demand an apology in writing from the cop. Another part says that the cop should buy the first round of apple cider and a sandwich, he buys desert and they bring their bosses. Talk things through, turn it into a learning experience.
Good thing he didn't Taze him man!

There is one in every crowd and the police are no exception. It will get settled in court if it gets that far. If it gets to court then it becomes one of the reasons the courts are back logged. I think the reporter did his job and handled the situation in an appropriate manner, far better than the cop.

Similar case in Sydney last week where a female lawyer riding on a train was arrested by a cop who [mistakenly] thought she was taking her picture and said she was in breach of terrorism laws. Cops never explained what law had been broken, and were not investigated or reprimanded, despite a court finding this was a wrongful arrest.
I think we need a specific forum for the "woe the poor photographer" threads.
We have a lot of these.
