Journalist and documentary filmmaker Tim Lewis discovers an employee of Eugene Police Dept acting as press

“In this instance, as shown in the video, police officers allowed a police PIO sporting a vest marked ‘press’ to record them from close range even as they threatened to arrest another person for the same activity. This disparate treatment would be evident to anyone on the scene — undermining trust in the police. Meanwhile, viewers of the video taken by the public information officer would be in the dark about this double standard.”
