Man Suing Round Rock Police Arrested In Galveston
The self-described cop watcher was arrested for filming outside of the Galveston police station.

A man in the middle of a lawsuit with the Round Rock Police Department is back at it, this time being arrested for filming near the police station in Galveston.
The details of 25-year-old Phillip Turnerβs latest arrest are extremely similar to to his July 2014 arrest in Round Rock.
A video shot by Turnerβs friend David, but shared on Turnerβs YouTube channel, shows Galveston police officers asking Turner to identify himself. Like he did in Round Rock, Turner refuses and asks if he is under arrest. After police tell him he was acting suspicious and capturing video of police license plates they handcuff Turner, turn off his camera and place him in a squad car.
