OT - Hedo doesnt like his picture taken

Which law is that? Seriously, how is this different from the property owner confiscating someone's film at a concert, or other performance occurring on private property where they are photographing without permission. In the old days, they would simply pull the film out of the camera and expose it to light to "erase" the illegally obtained images.

the bottom line is that he just sounds like a dick..... who does not like his picture taken.

 

Wow, not even close. For starters the cameraman was on public property and perfectly within his legal rights:

"The video was to be used in promotional videos for the Storm Tracker Weather Team and was shot legally from a public sidewalk."

Second, the case involved a physical assault.

"Fournier was arrested for assault, malicious mischief and impersonating an officer. Our photographer ended up with bruised ribs and a cut up hand."

Third, there was destruction of physical property worth several thousand dollars.

"I held onto it, he wrestled me to the ground and he's ripping off the viewfinder. He rips it off, and these used to be connected, and he turns around and spikes it as if it's a football. On cement."

Fourth, the attacker was impersonating a police officer.

see above...

Fifth, he has a prior history of such actions.

"Police records show Fournier was excluded from Laurelhurst Park in February after using a stun gun on a juvenile in the park. The records also show he was wearing his security uniform at the time and admitted to police "there was a question as to whether I had exceeded my authority by approaching the suspects in a public park, which they indicated was not in my jurisdiction."

No shit, Paul Blart.

Other than those few minor differences, I agree the two incidents are eerily similar.

Eh? Crime? He didn't destroy her phone, he didn't "steal" information from her, he didn't even steal her phone (he handled it and gave it back), he removed pictures of himself that were taken without his permission on private property that had a policy against pictures being taken of people without their consent.

Like I said, what he did was a little rude maybe, but a crime? Get out of here.

 

"Forget it, hasoos, it's Canada."

 

It's Canada, so maybe he gets away with what in America would be considered by most police agencies assault, theft by force, and intimidation of a witness.

Told you last summer he was an overpaid has-been on the court, didn't know what he was a completely worthless piece of shit off the court.

Sad that KP and Nate actually fawned all over him.

 

I just read the first 3-4 posts, but you guys are arguing American law, and this is Canada. The article clearly says that nothing will happen unless there is a lawsuit.

Somewhere on this board in the last week, someone said he saw a Blazer in a restaurant, asked whether he could take his picture, was told no, and so he didn't.

Trying to sign Hedo, and being stopped only by random luck, is a giant black mark on Pritchard's record.

 

I'm not familiar with Canadian law, but in Oregon, he is correct.

If you walk up to someone and grab their phone/camera/whatever out of their hand, you can be charged with harrasment or misdemeanor assault. Even if they took your picture illegally, you can't make physical contact.

Furthermore, even if you give it back a minute later, you are still guilty of theft.

Now, whether the prosecutor *will* pursue charges is a different matter....but under the letter of the law, they *could*.

 

But...but...but...he would have been a better FIT than Miller!

 

Damn! No wonder he doesn't like his picture taken. He's fucking ugly as shit.

You just gotta love this guy. 'Dre Miller's not lookin' so bad now, huh? Especially at the price we got him compared to what we would have paid Shedo.

 

Portland total commitment to Andre Miller (PER=16.5 and rising) = $14 million over two seasons (with a third year available as a team option).

Toronto total commitment to Hedo Turkoglu (PER = 14.2 and dropping) = $52.8 million over five seasons (the last year is a player option at $12 million, which the 35-year old Hedo will NOT decline).
