Carlos Miller: Homeland Security's Top Terrorist?

Freelance journalist Carlos Miller was documenting a law enforcement raid on the southern Florida's Occupy Wall Street offshoot, Occupy Miami, when he was arrested earlier in 2012 while filming police, for the third time in just a few years. After investigating why authorities in Miami may have singled him out during the ordeal, in which he claims, he was only filming the event, Miller stumbled upon some evidence that exposes just why he was targeted by the local branch of the Department of Homeland Security. Miller was able to obtain through a public records request communication logs from the Miami DHS that reveal what he believes is proof that the authorities had been prepared to issue an arrest against him earlier in the year without him even committing a crime. To the DHS, believes Miller, using a camera seems comparable with carrying out an act of terrorism. Through the public records request, Miller was able to to obtain a treasure trove of correspondence that in many instances included his name. One such account was an email communique that was issued by the Miami-Dade Police Homeland Security Bureau this past January only eleven hours before law enforcement raided the city's Occupy encampment and arrested Mr Miller yet again. In that email sent with the subject line "Multimedia information/Situational Awareness", authorities describe Carlos Miller as a freelance journalist and, ergo, a terrorist in the making. Over the weekend, the reporter recounted in a blog post published to Pixiq.com the events that landed him behind bars during the most recent instance. Also included in the post were the contents of the email that he suggests pegged him as a criminal with a camera. He is a Miami multimedia journalist who has been arrested twice for taking pictures of law enforcement.
