Recording police fuckups is now a punishable offense...in the eyes of fucktard cops

[=sw=warlord]

Freelancer, the officer had no problems with her being there until she pointed out she was recording him.
He was also in the wrong for declaring her yard was the sidewalk and claiming making recordings were illegal.

She deserves that 100%, she was given more than enough clear warnings about what the officers wanted. The officers were uncomfortable and simply wanted to limit the danger to themselves as much as possible. If I were conducting a traffic stop at night and someone came out of their house and just started filming me from their lawn I'd ask them to go back inside as well. I'd let them know that they can continue filming from inside the house, just give me the space to do my job in a safe manner. If the citizen continued to ignore me like the girl in the video I'd definitely arrest her for not following Police instructions (which is perfectly valid mind you).

yea, i don't buy that one either dude.

Police almost always do their job amidst bystanders and you don't see hundreds of thousands of people being ordered indoors across the country. The only difference in this situation was the camera...and the fact that this woman is well known to the police as some sort of activist.

Who cares where it took place? The officers told her more than enough times what they wanted, they never once said she needed to turn off the camera or that they didn't appreciate her filming them. I'm pretty sure that complete disrespect for an officers orders like that allows them to come onto your property and arrest you.

They were concerned for their safety, they requested she backup and go inside her house (why couldn't she?). She refused, they had the right to arrest her.

They were concerned for their safety because a women with a camera was recording their actions?

your a fucking idiot.

the law isn't something thats decided by the thugs on the ground enforcing it, on a whim.
they didnt have the right in the first place to tell her to stop, or to back up, and when they didn't they literally trumped up some bullshit charges that where created to prevent real crimes to cover their own ass.
they're lying, cheating thugs with a fucking badge.

TLR you cannont bend the law or make it up as you go to suit you.
