Here’s a story from Oklahoma:
"That black SUV passed me doing about 120," Owens said. "I stopped, pulled off on the median, had my camera and just walked around and shot a few pictures."
Much to Owens’ surprise, when police saw him taking the pictures, they demanded he hand them over or go to jail. Owens said three troopers and an Oklahoma City police officer were present during the incident.
"I quickly opened the scooter seat, dropped my camera in and locked it, and said ‘No, I won’t give it to you,’ Owens said.
As professional photographer and a teacher at Casady School, Owens stood his ground, telling police they were violating his civil rights.
"I’m a prep school teacher, not a criminal," Owens said. "It was constant screaming a foot from my face, of how stupid I am."
After Owens refused to take the camera out of his scooter and delete the pictures, that’s when he said one of the Troopers lost his restraint.
"He finally just snapped, and said ‘That’s it, you’re going to jail,’ and knocked my helmet off my head and took me over to a tree and cuffed me," Owens said.
