The City of Ferguson, St. Louis County and the Missouri Highway Patrol have signed an agreement with the American Civil Liberties Union acknowledging the right of the public and the media to film the actions of police officers.
The agreement was reached after the ACLU filed a federal lawsuit against the entities after numerous complaints of media and public intimidation, specifically those videotaping officers.
Wednesday, Wesley Lowery of the Washington Post, and Ryan J. Reilly of the Huffington Post were arrested by St. Louis County Police officers only to be released later the same day with all charges dropped.
