Which in turn would mean Tillotson was right to object. Her client may have been standing still, but it wasn't voluntary. That's why the sergeant says that once he gets his pictures, they'll be "free to go." So they were obviously being detained and interrogated in some sense (I'd have at least assumed the officers were asking questions as well as taking photos.) I'm not a criminal-defense attorney, but if I were I'd sure as hell try to put a stop to that. And if I were a client I'd probably fire my attorney if she didn't.
with video ... everyone should know their rights ... this was so simple, a person should not need a lawyer...but some stupid people do I guess...
