According to the Sergeant called to the "scene" of this morning's 7-person informational picket against mayoral control, it is now a policy within the Rochester Police Department that any public protest is to be filmed, photographed, or otherwise surveilled at the discretion of the commanding officer. NOTE: This policy does not apply to ALL protests across the board--only the ones deemed worthy by whomever is in charge.
Full report coming soon.
UPDATE: The officer who gave us this information identified himself as Sector Supervisor, Sergeant Charles Zlotkus. He was filmed saying, "Video cameras have been issued to the sections to video tape at the supervisor's discretion."
