Par for the course. I've seen plenty of cell phones/cameras "confiscated" and people threatened with arrest for recording police (and when the person actually knew their rights and refused they'd switch to the ubiquitous "Failure to Disperse")
Fact is, the police basically do have carte blanche to do what they want in the moment. Everything gets thrown out in court, but there's no punishment on the police side. Maybe some " extra training" or a paid suspension until the hearing clears them.
