On Friday night at the inauguration party, a man was seen taking photos of US Senator Scott Brown every step he took, which attracted the attention of a BPD deputy.
Editor's note: The following incident is based on a Boston Police Department report. A man had to be removed Friday night from the Inauguration Party after he kept on taking photos of US Sen.
