Yes, this excessive force thing that cops seem to think is routine and/or automatically justifiable is getting old. Not only that, people have been arrested just for videoing the police making an arrest or doing any other part of their public duty.
This was a well known incident in Maryland a few years ago:

On April 8, Graber was awakened by six officers raiding his parents' home in Abingdon, Md., where he lived with his wife and two young children. He learned later that prosecutors had obtained a grand jury indictment alleging he had violated state wiretap laws by recording the trooper without his consent.
