This happened long time ago when I was a student at the film/broadcasting school. We were doing a documentary on some squatters occupying a building in Antwerp. This was all about some contested building plans, so some day we were filming on the roof, to have an overview. This was when the police decided to clear the building. There was some pulling and pushing, and my (then very new) headphones went overboard. We all ended up as 'guests' at the police station, and were released the next moring at six. All equipment - Arriflex 16 mm camera, Nagra, lights (but not my headphones !) was confis- cated, and we got it back only weeks later. I went back for my headphones and found them - somewhat scratched, but otherwise OK.
