Police arrest woman for videotaping them on her own property

[QUOTE="LJS9502_basic"]

[QUOTE="BranKetra"] But she was on her lawn...her property.BranKetra

[QUOTE="Yongying"]

[QUOTE="LJS9502_basic"] Which right was that?LJS9502_basic

[QUOTE="LJS9502_basic"][QUOTE="Yongying"]The right to film a public servant, i'm not going to play stupid with you LJ but if you honestly think that they felt threatened by her (which i'm sure you don't) then what can i say, you shouldn't be defending cowardly cops.

Yongying

[QUOTE="LJS9502_basic"][QUOTE="Yongying"]The police officer felt threatened by the camera, and has a quilty consious and got nervous, why wouldn't they arrest the rest of the people that were present, you know the ones at the end of the videos who were being called to testify what they saw? ah?

Yongying

[QUOTE="BranKetra"][QUOTE="LJS9502_basic"]That doesn't matter. It's the proximity of the arrest that matters. They didn't tell her she had to leave her property. They asked her to go inside.

LJS9502_basic

Just another case of a cop abusing power. What probably happened is that the cop arrested her just to annoy her. She was arrested, then held for a while, then they come back to tell her she is free to go that their investigation is complete and no charges will be filed... even though the cop knew from the start that she did nothing wrong.

[QUOTE="LJS9502_basic"] You are making assumptions as to his reasons though....you don't know that.LJS9502_basic

[QUOTE="LJS9502_basic"][QUOTE="Yongying"]You are making assumptions and didn't answer my question.

Yongying

My initial reaction is...this arrest is total bulls***. I hope she sues the department.

[QUOTE="Yongying"]

[QUOTE="LJS9502_basic"] No I'm not making assumptions. I'm going by what was said on the tape. You have edited in other reasons than those stated. They didn't arrest other people because they hadn't done anything wrong. Again...who is the potential threat...the friend of someone arrested or a stranger? She identified herself as a friend and thus put herself in a different category than uninterested bystander.LJS9502_basic

P.S... what would going inside do? What if she went inside and came out with an AK-47... now that would be a threat. The reality is that they didn't want her filming them for whatever odd reason.

Do you honestly think that if she went inside that the cops would be thinking "phew, now that she's inside we're safe now. Nothing bad can happen now that she's in her house".

My initial reaction is...this arrest is total bulls***. I hope she sues the department.

It is her property. She can do WHATEVER she wants on her own property. She was not taking the rights of anyone else away by doing what she was doing. The words that come out of a police officer's mouth should not be the law. We should not be forced to do whatever they want simply because they demand it. Can I tell another person what to do and punish them physically because they don't do what i say? No? Ok then, neither should the police. Their situation involves themselves and the person of interest, not the spectators who are doing nothing wrong, especially when they are on their own property. Property rights need to be respected, and they were not respected from what i can see in this video.

I just want to know how recording a video of a man being pulled over....with 3 cops in attendance made the police officer feel unsafe.....Omni-Slash

'Cause he's full of s***...basically the same thing you said.

She should have gone in her house, turned on her lights, opened up the window and just kept filming.

Please read the bold and please don't take the second sentence literally. You know what i meant (I hope). And yes, she should be able to use "illegal" drugs on her property. CAN she use them? Of course she canbut not legally because elected officials said she can't. What she can do is all dependent on whether or not she is taing the rights of someone else away, which is what i was talking about in the third sentence, and I honestly didn't see any rights violations in this video. That is why I think she should be able to do it and not get arrested.

[QUOTE="LJS9502_basic"][QUOTE="Yongying"]She wasn't doing anything wrong, how was she a threat?

I am pretty sure Video taping a police officer is against the law. I'll have to see if I can look this up later. If it is against the law, then the police have every right to tell her to go inside the house and turn off the camera. I would also laugh at the person who was video taping who said "I'm video taping..it is my right" :lol:

I could be wrong though.

Edit: Another good point someone else made, was the police have every right to tell her to go inside for her own safety. What if the criminal had a gun, they didn't find yet and then started shooting. It would be for the citizens best interest to be inside..not outside. Just a thought.

[QUOTE="LJS9502_basic"] Anyone....particularly an interested individual...can become a threat. They didn't want to take that risk and asked her to go inside. Not a big deal until she made it one.LJS9502_basic

I just thought I remembered reading it somewhere on Internet. Of course if it's on the Internet, it must be true. :P

Her voice at the beginning sounded like Pam from the Office. :P hehe.

I certainly wouldn't agree with it if there was one.

Look at the big picture - just because he is handcuffed - DOES NOT mean he is no longer a threat :lol:

A police office still has to be careful.

She may have been conceealing a shotgun in her bra. I think they should have just shot her in the face and have done with it.

[QUOTE="LJS9502_basic"][QUOTE="Yongying"]Your making the assumption about them making the assumption that she could be a possible threat, awsome reasoning right there folks.

Yongying

[QUOTE="LJS9502_basic"][QUOTE="AngelNeo00"] Rodney King being acquitted is probably a result of corruption or just a strange jury. Again allowing the arrest that occurred in this incident is dangerous. Police deserve to have some authority over us, however, there needs to be a strong limit in what they can do. It kind of saddens me to see people the defending the cops in this situation since this arrest clearly isn't right. Allowing things like this is just a slippery slope to a total police state.AngelNeo00

Not that I defend cops....but she was warned several times.LJS9502_basic
