Garda body-cam footage has been used for the first time in a court case for the prosecution of citizen journalist Philip Dwyer for failing to obey a direction to move on during riots in Coolock, Dublin, last year.
The prominent anti-immigration activist made legal history as he was handed a two-month suspended sentence by Judge John Hughes at Dublin District Court on Thursday.
