Florida state Sen. Daphne Campbell, a Democrat who is running for re-election in state’s 38th District, called police on Thursday to report Miami Herald reporter Sarah Blaskey.

NEW: Miami State Sen. Daphne Cambell called the cops on @MiamiHerald‘s @Blaskey_S at a debate today — but according to police reports, this is actually the second reporter Campbell has sicced the cops on in 2018: https://t.co/XZxCTEJsL6 — Jerry Iannelli (@jerryiannelli) August 9, 2018

Blaskey was covering a debate between Campbell and her Democratic opponent Jason Pizzo at the time.

The Miami Herald reported:

A responding North Miami Beach officer who declined to give his name explained that police had been called by Campbell about threats made by a woman in a floral dress — a clear reference to the attire of Herald reporter Sarah Blaskey.

Update: @daphnecampbell called the police on me for “threatening behavior” at this event. Last time I checked, asking questions at a public forum was allowed. Don’t worry guys, cops didn’t think the complaint was credible. — Sarah Blaskey (@Blaskey_S) August 9, 2018

Campbell did not publicly clarify what “threats” Blaskey allegedly made, and Blaskey said the only thing she is guilty of committing is “an act of journalism.”

Yesterday, I committed an act of journalism. Today, tomorrow, and everyday, I plan to do it again. Consider it premeditated. #FirstAmendment #JournalismIsNotACrime — Sarah Blaskey (@Blaskey_S) August 10, 2018

The same day that Campbell called police on Blaskey, Rise News published a police report from the Miami Shores Police Department detailing a similar incident that took place in May.

According to that report, Campbell called police to report Rise News publisher Rich Robinson for filming her at a public event in a public place. Police also declined to arrest Robinson.
