Four Danbury police officers face penalties after violating various department policies in June. This comes after an internal affairs investigation into the removal of a YouTube personality.
Officers were called to Danbury Public Library to confront a man recording video inside. Reyes refused to leave when police asked him to stop recording.
Reyes filed a complaint with the department claiming officers violated his rights. He said he was visiting the library for a so-called “First Amendment audit” to see how officials act when people film in public.
A report states officers were exonerated of Reyes' claim that they violated his rights to film in a library. The investigation found concerns with how some officers responded. All four officers will go through remedial training.
