UW-Madison engineering student Zach Heise, a member of the Campus Antiwar Network that organized the recent protest of Halliburton ‘s appearance at a campus recruiting fair, said he knew the rally was being videotaped by campus police.
He even talked to the plainclothes officer with the camera. “I saw his earpiece. I asked him and he told me right away he was with the police, ” Heise said. “I personally have no problem with the police videotaping us. If that ‘s part of their standard procedure … I ‘m not going to make a big deal of it. “
