Okay but how can you prove he intended to destroy a camara worth over 750 dollars?

This entire situation is so goddamn stupid.

Any good lawyer should be able to get this thrown out. Good lawyers cost money, though, and the police know that. That's the real rub here. They are just trying to fuck over poor people who are angry about being spied on.

Fuck them all.
