A High Court advocate was finally released after being detained at the Kilimani Police Station in Nairobi.
Stanley Kinyanjui was allegedly beaten and arrested by law enforcers after he was seen filming them.
The officers were supposedly harassing motorists when the attorney started recording.
Aggrieved by his action, the officers took on him before detaining him.

However, speaking moments later, Kinyanjui revealed he had been released after talking to the officer commanding the station in which he was being detained.
The lawyer said that the OCS took up the matter and reprimanded the officers to whom he explained that filming was not an offence.
The officers, Kinyanjui said, apologised after the dress-down by their senior.
"I was released unconditionally. They apologised profusely. And they also were informed that taking pictures is not a crime. The OCS Kilimani is a very good man," said Kinyanjui.
