Artist Sues NYPD for Falsely Arresting Him as Banksy, by Dr Plip on Mar 24, 2015 21:55:58 GMT 1, "A Brooklyn man is suing the NYPD after they arrested him for graffitiโstreet art that he claims was actually done by Banksy.
Richard Pfeiffer, 33, and his fiancรฉ were in the East Village this past July when they stopped to admire a smiley face graffiti drawing. Soon after, police officers accused him of drawing the graffiti, with one cop claiming he saw Pfeiffer do it.
While Pfeiffer was found with a marker in his pocket, he claims that the tip did not match the line work of the image. He denied creating the piece, and demonstrated to the police that the work wouldn't smudge when he touched it, and thus wasn't fresh.
Nevertheless, Pfeiffer, who has no criminal record, was arrested and detained for 24 hours. The case was later dismissed in October."

Artist Sues NYPD for Falsely Arresting Him as Banksy, by Deleted on Mar 24, 2015 22:40:27 GMT 1, Do the police in NY have a photo fit of Banksy?
The fact that the guy had a marker pen in his pocket makes the guy guilty 
Wonder what they do when they look for a criminal who drove a car?

Artist Sues NYPD for Falsely Arresting Him as Banksy, by Deleted on Mar 24, 2015 22:49:55 GMT 1, Is the law different in the US in that if someone is standing next to a wall with graffiti on it and they have a marker pen in their Pocket.
The police can accuse them of carrying a tool which can cause graffiti?
The guy has the media on his side now.
It's all good for making a high $ claim against the NYPD.
Has he included police racism for his arrest?
