DHS social media monitoring: Watched Facebook, emailed police, arrested photographer

Florida photographer Carlos Miller was arrested for photographing Occupy Miami protests. Miami-Dade Police Homeland Security Bureau sent a “Multimedia Information/Situational Awareness” email with Miller’s photo to alert police officers, so Miller could be singled out and arrested. Miller’s arrest and the public records request clearly show that DHS is using social media monitoring “situational awareness” to target First Amendment rights. Photography may not be a crime, and photographers are not terrorists, but it’s still laid out to the general public to look like using a camera makes you potentially engaged in terrorist activities.”]
