WeAreChange recently got a chance to meet citizen journalist Alex from Federal Jack and Hack Miami, to get the full story of his arrest and destruction of evidence by the Miami Police Department. Alex was arrested for merely filming the police in Miami, the police later illegally deleted the footage from Alex’s camera and charged him with resisting arrest. The Miami Police officer who made the arrest, Richard Anastasi was later arrested nearby for and found guilty of extortion and kidnapping in an unrelated case.
Alex describes how he was able, forensically, to recover the deleted video exposing the brutality, abuse, and corruption of the cops on the scene from multiple agencies.
