Man who caught 2 navy ships nearly colliding ordered to take cameras down

SAN DIEGO - The man whose livestream caught two navy ships nearly colliding in the San Diego Bay has been ordered to take the cameras down.

The Navy Criminal Investigative Service says the camera's livestream shows military activity in the area, but the camera owner says he has the right to film.

“It might be the San Diego Web Cam today, but if you don't stand up and call foul, we don’t know what's it going to be tomorrow," said Barry Bahrami who runs a group called San Diego Web Cam which provides livestreams across the city.

It was Bahrami's video that showed the near collision of two navy ships at the San Diego Bay back in November. The incident is also commonly referred to as "Warship Chicken" which now stands at the center of a new controversy.

"Now we have government censorship simply out of spite because we showed something they didn’t like," said Bahrami.

He said the National Park Service has removed two of his cameras at Cabrillo National Monument per the Navy's request, citing the protection of military personnel.
