They have the right to tell you what to do as peace officers if they think it effects their safety or they're uncomfortable with the proximity of civilians. After completely disrespecting a peace officers orders, what do you think is going to happen? If you do what they say (see: follow the law, because you're lawfully required to do what a peace officer says) then there won't be any kind of problem now will there?
I'm pretty sure you don't if you're completely disregarding orders given to you by a peace officer.
Freelancer there are times where disregarding what police officers instructions make more sense than taking heed.
By your logic if they were to order you to take part in intercourse regardless of consent, then you would be required.
Except they did have legal grounds. They didn't feel safe, they told her to back up or they were going to arrest her as well. She ignored them, it's her fault.
Are you really dumb enough to try and bring up the "If I tell you to jump off this bridge will you do it" argument? There are obviously some boundaries that are silly and outrageous.
Peace officers? I could have sworn we already stated that this isSpartaAmerica, not Canada. Keep your freelancer logic on your side of the border freelancer.
The fucking cop barked orders to her on her own property. She pays the fucking taxes to live there. She pays the fucking taxes that employ those cops. All she had was a fucking camera. She had a right to be there, on her own property (she had already backed off the sidewalk and into her yard). If she posed any threat, it'd make no difference if she was inside or outside. She could still shoot the douches in blue from a window, just the same from the yard. This idiot just didn't like the fact that she was recording him.
She wasn't breaking the law. The cop has no right to tell her what to do, especially on her own property.
e: and your whole "didn't feel safe" bullshit can work both ways. Maybe she didn't feel safe about the rights of that driver who got pulled over, hence why she was recording it. Just "didn't feel safe" is a ambiguously bogus claim.
So why didn't she just go inside instead of provoking the officer? Like I said, once a cop tells you that he's concerned for his safety (even if it's a bullshit call like this was) you should respect it and back off. If, for example some regular citizens just tackled some hopped up kid that just robbed a store and was running away in front of your house, and the citizens politely asked you to move back cause they didn't feel safe with you filming them you'd probably do it. This chick was BEGGING to get dragged off by the Police by literally ignoring them.
She broke the law by disobeying a direct order from a Police officer while he was acting in an official capacity. I'm pretty sure that's a law.
Again, so why didn't she just record from inside of her house? It's safer there for her AND the officers. The officers may have felt unsafe with her where she was because they didn't want her to get hurt by the potentially psychopathic serial killer they just pulled a traffic stop on. What if he had a gun and there was a gun-fight? She could have been injured or killed?
Literally every situation you can think up, she would be better off inside of her house.
If you provoke and don't follow the sane requests of an officer, like if they ask you to do something that isn't bonkers, then they have the ability to tell you you're being a dumbshit. Be respectful and put the camera down. If it means that much to you, go inside your house and film them. It's not so much you should respect their request because of whether or not you think it's bullshit, but simply because they are an officer that is probably signed up to protect you.
What is with everyone and having some conspiracy that cops are out to fuck your life up? This whole thread is stupid because it's so condition and doesn't even account for most of the cops that are working to keep us all safe while we sleep at night.
