Good to know, boss.

I'm one of eight videographers on a "street team" for my news organization during next week's Republican National Convention. Two of our managing editors gathered us together for a meeting this week, and here's how they started it.

"We just wanted to let you know... you will likely get arrested."

They quickly assured us it's not necessarily because we'll be doing something wrong, but rather because police often mass arrest people on the streets during times of protest and riot.

"Whatever you do, cooperate," they said. "And don't worry, we have a budget for bail."

Giddy up!
