MERIDIAN TOWNSHIP, Mich. (AP) - Police seized cameras from two college newspaper photographers at a suburban Lansing mall Thursday before returning them with the images intact.

The photographers, from the Central Michigan University student newspaper, were taking digital pictures of a protest outside a Victoria's Secret store in the Meridian Mall. Three Central Michigan students were protesting what they said is the lingerie chain's high volume use of paper with little or no recycled content for its mail catalogs.

Police took the cameras but later returned them after deciding they should not have confiscated them in the first place.
