It shouldn't be against the law to document your arrest whether it be you taking a picture or someone else. Did the guy who filmed the Rodney King controversy get thrown in jail or fined?

I would have demanded they call their supervisor to the scene right there. Then I'd ask him to explain their reason for stopping me. I'd follow up with a letter to the local US Atty. and ask for an investigation into civil rights violations. If you don't know your rights, you don't have any.
