… Under Nevada law (NRS 171.1233), the public has the right to film police officers as long as the person filming is on public property and not obstructing the investigation.
This isn’t an isolated event either, the same thing happened while England was out filming for Sacramento Crimewatch on September 18, making that two unlawful arrests within a month.
“I don’t feel safe at all,” England says.
Charges were never filed and a court date was never set, but the arrest prompted England to file a lawsuit, alleging he was falsely arrested. England wants to set an example that his arrests are not ok and if it’s happening to him, he feels, there’s more like him out there.
The Reno Police Department has yet to give a response.

They're supposed to have body cams on all the time and yet still do this shit. Why don't people trust cops anymore? I just can't imagine.
The body cams are practically useless. They may be wearing them, but they'll go out if their way to make sure it's very difficult to get the recordings from them. And then they'll blur stuff out.
Was it a personal call, or was he interfering with an investigation. Have to pick one.
