Watch: Was This Photographer Interfering with Hollywood LAPD Officers, or Wrongfully Detained?

See the video and tell us what you think.

Reason.tv posted an interesting video online Wednesday morning highlighting an incident that occurred in early June between Los Angeles Police Department Hollywood Division officers and award-winning photographer Shawn Nee. 

Nee said was detained by LAPD officers after photographing them from behind a fence as they handled a domestic dispute. Nee was wearing body cameras at the time, so a great deal of his interaction with the officers was recorded. The video raises some interesting questions, and is attached to this story. 

What do you think about the incident? Was Nee interfering, or did the cops overstep their bounds? Tell us in the comments.
