Hikers Assaulted by Peace Officer And Arrested In Ultra-Orthodox Jewish Town for taking pictures of local sights and attractions including...an air conditioned bus stop.

The town, Kiryas Joel, is the poorest town in America relying heavily on federal and state funds. It is the home base for the Ultra-Orthodox Satmar Hasidic Jews. For a town supported on tax dollars, they sure do like to treat it as a private domain.
