Man arrested for photographing a cop who followed him into his home.
Sealy, TX - A homeowner was arrested for "illegal photography" when a police sergeant followed him into his own home, and he objected and took the cop's photo with his cell phone.
The trouble started when Sealy Police Sgt. Justin Alderete responded to a complaint of loud music coming from his home. In front of the home, Alderete asked Olvera to show identification and as Olvera walked into his house to get it, Alderete followed him in without a warrant.
As Olvera did not believe that Alderete had the authority to enter Olvera's residence, he took a picture of Alderete using his cell phone. Alderete saw a can of beer on a kitchen counter, next to Olvera's wallet, and immediately handcuffed him. While this is perfectly legal, the silly cop decided to administer the bogus charge of "public intoxication" as well as one for "loud music".
As testament to the illigitimacy of Alderete's ridiculous accusations, Olvera was acquitted of all charges in court.
