News Now Canada INDEPENDENT MEDIA HAS IS CAMERA equipment GEAR STOLEN BY Vancouver police for taking pictures

My Name is Donald Smith I am the co founder of News Now Canada Independent Media photographer/ Blogger, On April 27th 2021 i was out taking pictures of any thing i can see in a public place. Vancouver police stole my camera gear and charged with me criminal harassments for filming/ taking photos on a public side walk. Under Canadian law there is no law about taking pictures in a public place.

I was out exercising my charter rights to film in a public and i got arrested for filming the same place and taking pictures in Public.

I am asking for lil help for donations so i can get camera gear again because taking pictures is my thing but Vancouver police thinks oh we do not like you we will charge you for criminal harassments plus make up lies to shut you up.

without the camera gear and lens i cant do my work but if you can help with lil donations that would help

Thanks donald smith
