I think many cases are over-reacting but OTOH - news14charlotte.com But there is some more justification in this case - "Charlotte Mayor Pat McCrory, along with Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Chief Darrel Stephens and Officer Danny Maglione, announced Akhtar's arrest during a news conference Tuesday morning. Maglione said he was driving uptown in his patrol car when he noticed Akhtar filming the bank towers. "Once I slowed down to take a closer look at him, he started to act a little irrational," Maglione said. "He turned away from me, trying to be kind of evasive." When Maglione stopped his vehicle, Akhtar began walking away. "That's when I got out and addressed him," Maglione said. "His statements were all over the place, from taking these videos for his brother to visiting around town. He said he had to hurry up and get back to the bus station" even though Akhtar was headed away from the downtown bus terminal." He might not be a terrorist (its unknown at this point) but he is an illegal immigrant, and apparently a possible suspect in other crimes. As far as I can tell the actions of the authorities in this case where not abusive. Tim
