I was riding northbound behind the CM group on 3rd. At 38th I noticied the group had turned around and that the police had detained a few cyclists including a videographer. With my camera in hand and my bike on my shoulder I ran forward, on the sidewalk, in order to videotape and document the events that took place. As a result I was detained and charged with obstruction of vehicular traffic. I,however, was on the sidewalk with my bicycle on my shoulder.

Update: I and Bobby (a person that witnessed the entire ordeal) showed up to court to defend the ticket and the ticketing officer didn't even fight it. He simply stated that he didn't have a copy of the summons and the judge dismissed the ticket.
