(Cullen Mccue) Posobiec and his film crew were detained for nearly an hour.
by Cullen Mccue, May 23rd, 2022
Conservative journalist and popular social media personality Jack Posobiec was detained by a team of heavily armed police while covering the World Economic Forum conference in Davos, Switzerland.
When Posobiec started recording the police — one of whom had his finger on the trigger of a rifle — he was asked to put his phone away.
“Am I not allowed to film?” Posobiec asked. The officer said no and would not provide an explanation beyond “it’s not allowed here.”
I looked up relevant Suisse case law and while there is no law regarding this, per the Police Directors of 15 cantons you can film police. It was also noted by the courts in 2015, that filming can be important for showing the courts evidence of police behavior or actions.

Savanah Hernandez, an independent reporter, started recording when Posobiec and his film crew were detained by Swiss police. The officers repeatedly asked Hernandez to stop filming them but would not provide a reason for the stop.
“Can I ask you why you’re detaining this journalist?” Hernandez asked. “I don’t answer your questions,” replied an officer who repeatedly asked her to stop filming.
“But can I ask why he’s being detained then? I won’t point the camera at you then, I won’t film you, but I would like to know why this journalist is being detained on public property…. is he allowed to leave the area?” Hernandez asked.
The woman told Hernandez that the group of heavily armed police were simply making a normal stop.
“Is there a reason he specifically was targeted?” Hernandez again asked. The unidentified woman then said that she was not obligated to tell Hernandez anything, only that there “is a reason.”
“We would not be able to do this without a reason,” the woman said, failing to providing one.

Jack Posobiec was reportedly detained for one hour before the police let him leave.
“Never once did they explain to us why we were targeted. I want to be clear on something, we had already given our name, our passport, and our press pass, about an hour prior,” Posobiec later said in a statement.
There is no law in Switzerland bans anyone from filming police in a public setting.

Stillness in the Storm Editor: Why did we post this?
The news is important to all people because it is where we come to know new things about the world, which leads to the development of more life goals that lead to life wisdom. The news also serves as a social connection tool, as we tend to relate to those who know about and believe the things we do. With the power of an open truth-seeking mind in hand, the individual can grow wise and the collective can prosper.
