From the El Paso Times: Jose Luis Escobar, 58, said he was arrested Friday morning for jaywalking in retaliation for warning drivers that an El Paso police officer was watching for speeders.
"The police officer obviously didn't admit it, but he was angry because I wasn't letting him give out tickets," said Escobar, who has been jogging the same West Side neighborhood for years.
Escobar has recently been holding a sign in the mornings at the scene of his arrest looking for witnesses.
Escobar, who owns appliance stores, said he noticed the police officer watching for speeders down the street.
"I was running and I was letting the cars know to slow down," Escobar said. "He (the police officer) would move to one side (of the street), and I moved to that side. I didn't let him give a single ticket."....
A jail log shows Escobar was arrested at 8:08 a.m., jailed at 11:12 a.m. and released at 12:58 p.m. after paying $66.

The police seemed to be scared of people watching them. From arresting and jailing jaywalkers who point out where radar cops are, to arresting a person in Las Vegas for filming a police officer doing their job to the TSA who do not let people film as the the TSA agents sexually assault teenagers and younger kids. Not to mention the cops encrypting radio traffic so that us little peons can't listen to them on our scanners.
Ahh, the secret police, but they cannot be confused with these guys:
