Vancouver police draw fire over camera confiscation

Civil rights advocates say that investigators are detaining journalists or seizing their cameras following incidents involving police.

The issue hit the news again on Sunday, when a camera belonging to a photographer for The Province was confiscated by Vancouver police following an incident in which a man driving a stolen truck was shot and wounded by an officer.

The B.C. Civil Liberties Association said Monday it's aware of four such allegations against the Vancouver Police Department.
