A student from the University of Notre Dame was charged with a felony after videotaping police with his iPhone.

The incident occurred August 29 when Indiana State Excise Police had entered a party where they were checking identification to determine who was drinking underage, according to the South Bend Tribune.

Benjamin Ashenburg, a 20-year-old student, pulled out his iPhone and began recording.

Police ordered him to stop recording.

The officer then grabbed the phone from him, prompting Ashenburg to grab it back and swing at the officer.

The poor, victimized officer, of course, had no choice but to fight back.
