Las Vegas Review-Journal reports: "The Metropolitan Police Department has agreed to pay $100,000 to a Las Vegas man who said he was beaten by an officer as he shot video from his driveway. ... As Colling was driving away, he stopped his car, got out and approached Crooks. ... He ordered Crooks to stop filming, and when Crooks refused, Colling beat him, according to the lawsuit."

Obviously, if the police can record citizens, citizens should have an equal capability. The police have no right to demand that a citizen filming in a public location stop filming.

I'd sure hope that the cop got fired too -- that's crossing the line!
The article says so.

In the article: "An internal investigation concluded that Colling, a six-year veteran, violated several department policies. Police would not release the specific policy violations.
Sheriff Doug Gillespie fired Colling in December.".

I'm not sure I understand how the Sheriff fired someone in a different agency.

He isn't from a different agency. The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department has a sheriff as the head of the department, not a chief. http://www.lvmpd.com/AboutLVMPD/OfficeoftheSheriff.aspx

How strange! I guess any agency can do whatever they want...

Not when you consider...
The department was created in 1973 with the merger of the Las Vegas Police Department and the Clark County Sheriff's Department - Las Vegas is located in Clark County, and the department is responsible for the city and the surrounding county. The combined force is headed by the Clark County Sheriff.
