Arizona marshal disciplined after he threatened to arrest a 12-year-old journalist

An Arizona law enforcement official has reportedly been disciplined after he was caught on camera threatening to arrest a 12-year-old reporter this week.
Hilde Lysiak is a young journalist who publishes the Orange Street News out of her parents home in Selinsgrove, Pa.
The preteen was in the small-town of Patagonia, Ariz., on Monday when she was confronted by Joseph Patterson, the town marshal, The Washington Post reported.
Lysiak caught the official, whose position is equivalent to a police chief, falsely claiming that it was illegal for her to film him and publish his face online.

It turns out that claiming people have no right to privacy in a public place is a double-edged sword.
