->> Galveston County Daily News photographer Kevin M. Cox was detained yesterday for not allowing police to review the photographs on his camera. He did the right thing by not giving in to police demands to see the images on site. I hope this works out and they publicly apologize to Kevin and the newspaper for their error and get the hell sued out of them for being such jackasses.
