There are reports Seligson was part of the vandalism, not an impartial bystander journalist there to report on both sides of the story https://www.nydailynews.com/2024/08/06/videographer-busted-for-taking-part-in-vandalism-of-brooklyn-museum-presidents-home/

Cops and prosecutors have dreamed up plenty of convoluted theories to criminalize journalism, but the NYPD charging a reporter with a hate crime for documenting news has to be one of the most outrageous yet.
