cameraNO A Rochester Indymedia videographer was accosted by a Wackenhut security guard contracted to the federal building during the 6th anniversary protests of the Iraq war.

While videotaping, an unidentified, plainclothes security guard got right in her face—so much so that the camera only sees his chin. In addition, he intentionally fogged up the lens. He stated that the security guards on the lawn did not want to be photographed and that it was illegal to take video of the federal building.

As E.G. Smith's Guide to Rochester states, "Never trust a cop." And that goes for private security guards as well. That being said, we decided to investigate the guard’s claims.

Account Creation Policy Change

Rochester Indymedia is now requiring editor approval for account creation.

We came to this decision after we had repeated spam posted to our website that caused difficulty with the website's functioning.  We will still have open publishing and keep our site as nonrestrictive and accessible as possible.

If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact us.  As before, we will continue to be Rochester's grassroots news and education site.  Thank you for your continued support and remember, "Don't hate the media, be the media!"
