Phone seizure story followed up by Courier-mail

The story referred to by Crikey blogger Margaret Simons on Xmas eve has made it into the mainstream media. The newspaper story notes

News of the incident first broke when Mr Holmes a Court sent a message out on microblogging service Twitter just minutes after getting his phone back from police.”I got searched and my phone confiscated for filming a police search in kings cross, I was threatened with arrest and detainment,” he said in his tweet.

Independent and mainstream media outlets began to pick up the story after freelance technology journalist Ben Grubb wrote a short article on his website and posted an audio interview with Mr Holmes a Court.

The comment stream on the story is quite lively.
