Police arrest woman for videotaping them on her own property

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.

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.

[QUOTE="kev_stevens67"]

[QUOTE="Yongying"]What? the cop feels threatened by the girl, tells her to go inside for her own safety because the handcuffed man might shoot her? lol

You're not only missing the big picture, you're looking the other way.

The police officer was well within his right to tell the woman to go back into the house. I don't know that part of NY very well, but I don't feel safe when there are crowds of civilians standing around me when I'm trying to do my job.

[QUOTE="Mind_Mover"]I would defend good cops, but not these guys, the arrest was clearly unjust.

I agree and don't see anything the police did wrong. The title was also a bit misleading. It doesn't seem like she was arrested for Videotaping. She was arrested for disobeying an order from a police office. It wasn't like they were telling her to do anything horrible - just to get back inside. She should have listened IMO.

She did something wrong by disobeying an order from a police officer, which was not a bad order anyway..just to get back inside and was warned several times.

[QUOTE="Yongying"]I think you should look at the big picture, the cop should have stayed with the cuffed man in the car instead of dealing with the woman :roll:

Doesn't matter, the police are still going to treat him as a potential threat..always..as they should be doing.

Tough call here.

If she was in fact on her property, the charges shouldn't stick.

But it can be hard to know exactly where the property line is. We had the city come over to our house for something once, and it turns out that our property stops way further away from the road than we anticipated, and the redt id the city's land. If she was technically in front of the line, then she could be in trouble,

But I don't see why taping the police is public should be illegal, any way...

[QUOTE="LJS9502_basic"][QUOTE="Mind_Mover"]People have already said it, the woman wasn't doing anything wrong, the cop got paranoid because he was being filmed.

Mind_Mover

I don't understand why you would laugh. It's his life on the line and he would rather play it safe. He possibly has a family to get home to and wants to be there. I would be playing it as safe as I can as well - I also have a family I want to get home to.

I don't think she was arrested for being on her property. She was arrested for disobeying a police officer, which is against the law - on or off your property. At least this is my understanding.

[QUOTE="LJS9502_basic"] Yet the video was not taken....maybe he just didn't trust a friend of the person he was arresting? After all...telling her to go inside in no way stops her from filming.kev_stevens67

In some state - there is a law that says disobeying an order from a police office is against the law. In other states, that is disobeying a lawful order from a police office is against the law - still in other states, it is a grey area and depends on the circumstance and who the office is I guess. I think it depends what state youre in, but the law is out there.

[QUOTE="LJS9502_basic"][QUOTE="OmniXIISlash"] She backed up when they asked her to. It's was unreasonable for them to tell her to go inside. The cops can't take away your rights when you're doing nothing wrong like that. AngelNeo00

[QUOTE="AngelNeo00"]

[QUOTE="LJS9502_basic"] If they feel threatened...then it's not an unreasonable request. She should have complied. In the end....she had to spend time in jail rather than the house. Who won that argument?lasseeb

She should have just stepped inside like she was told is what I think. It's not like she was being asked something unreasonable and difficult. The police officer said "I don't feel safe" and wanted her to get inside. Just get inside then. It shouldn't matter whether anyone feels the officer was safe or not. All that should matter is what the officer said, so just do what he says and get inside - don't act like a tough dude/girl. I don't think it's a difficult decision to make personally.

Of course you wouldn't be able to. It's hard to video tape while you're kissing someone's shoes and sniffing armpits. Are you that talented?

And they wonder why nobody including law abiding citicens hate the police. I am not surprised one bit with cop killings going way up.

I will be able to sleep soundly knowing that she is off the streets. Glad to see this takes priority over murderers and rapists.:|

A handcuffed man and an unarmed woman with a camera are not a threat to three armed police men...:roll:

It wasn't about him not feeling safe, it was about him being PO'd at her for taping him, so he came up with a BS reason to arrest her and thought that she should immediately heed to his authority, regardless if she was breaking the law or not. They always try to make a situation out of nothing, when you get pulled over, right away they're trying to build a case against you and get you to admit guilt, they are trained to do this. Remember one thing, never admit anything to them, your ALWAYS Innocent.

Well I know she was not actually doing anything wrong, they were just creating something out of nothing. But what she should have done, was complied, then later file a complaint. She basically took the hard way of dealing with this. Sure she will not be charged, but she made herself go through an ordeal. Do what they say atm, but later file a report against the officer. Because lets be honest, the police officer could of ignored her, and nothing would of happened. As a person who is wanting to be a police officer, I call bs on the police officer.
