In the first story I cannot see how this young man could have been arrested and then just released without having actually done something truely illegal. I can understand the police perhaps not wanting pictures to circulate of a situation involving a drug dealer if they wanted to continue investigating something. But if that was the case I don't see why they couldn't have approached the man and simply asked that he delete the pic and explain that they need him to do so to assist them. If I were him I would have deleted it. The story does not say they requested that at all. Granted he could have e-mailed it already but the article does not say that.
As for the second story - I get the feeling that we're not getting the whole picture. What was the gripe that this family had with the police. What was the police doing in the first place that was so terrible? It almost sounds like a snooty rich family wanting to spoil their troublemaker son and get him out of trouble instead of making him actually deal with it. Whiners and troublemakers. But then again the police weren't dealing with their complaints properly. If the police knew the cameras were there why couldn't they have asked the kid to come to the station for questioning? I don't know all the legalities there but it seems it would have been more appropriate.
