Freaking A! Case Dismissed Against Woman Arrested While Videotaping Police!!

This is bullshit. I guess we don't want law and order in this country, and we want busy bodies with camera distracting are police from doing their duties. Keep it up busy bodies ... you may get the charges dropped, but going to jail or getting your ass kicked by the cops still isn't fun . Is it really worth it?

Well, the cops need to lose one of these once in a while - hope it becomes a trend! Also remember the most effective behavioral deterrent for these cases is sustained public mockery and protest. Many cops might not care, but the elected officials want to win their next election.

Except... Illinois, Massachusetts, and Maryland have laws making it illegal to film cops saying it's wiretapping.

Film cops there and you will end up in jail.

U mad fag?

Don't live there.... No tax base = fewer public servants (/sarc) who can become too big for their britches...

Fucking slave.

i for one wouldnt like someone i didnt know pointing a camera at me and refusing to stop if i politely asked them to do so, cops jobs are tough enough these days , if you see a rodney king type situ then by all means pull out the cameras

Now, she needs to sue their ass off for false arrest.

If not, it will happen again.

I remember the video and am glad the charge against her were dropped. Cops do have a tough job and they deserve respect, but they have to be able to cope with being watched and video recorded. Making up laws on the spot in order to arrest someone with a camera, when they wont stop, is only going to hurt police. They jsut have to deal with it.

Excuse me?....Are you for real?

Cheers OP

Film cops anywhere else where it is "legal" and you'll still end up in jail, get your ass kicked, or both! Doesn't matter what's legal or illegal, you can be arrested for any reason or no reason, it all depends upon what the officer wants -- he has the power, you DON'T!

So why be stupid and give a cop a reason to arrest you? Everybody knows that cops don't like to be photograped or videoed, so just respect their wishes and leave them alone!

Where is Brief? We need to get some more reason and sanity in this thread ... too many cop-hating tards around here.

Wow!!! What a sheep you are! Do you even understand the words coming out of your mouth???

Poor poor Brief!

In todays society almost every single person in the street is carrying a device capable of capturing both audio and video with the ability to instantly upload it to the internet. Cops along with eveyone else, have to accept that our actions can be documented anywhere.

She's marked ! Wanna bet she gets busted for drug posession or something soon.

"Snitches get stitches." :) Cops have ways of getting back at smart asses who try to get them in trouble.

Keep cowering and kissing their ass

Officer Friendly died on 9/11.

The War on Terrorism/Drugs is really a War on YOU and YOUR RIGHTS.

Of course when a society literally ties it's own noose, and digs it's own grave by servitude and ignorant compliance to TYRANNY... the end result is certain...

YOU

Right let the nazi police state walk all over you. Fool!!!!!

People get cameras pointed at them all the time.

Going to shut down Google Earth? Going to remove all camera's from stores? Going to shut down reporters on the street? Going to take the cameras off cop cars?

Candid camera bitches

No, the cops do NOT have the power to arrest people willy nilly for no good reason. They have the ability to do so but are proven wrong time and time again if the arrest was unlawful to begin with.

If you work in a capacity where the public can observe and by extension therefore record your actions then you should be prepared as a public servant to be observed and recorded.

We - the public have an expectation that you - as a public servant wearing the police uniform - are trained to keep and promote peace without using gestapo tactics.

And, the public will support your efforts in your capacity as a uniformed public servant much more if you treat us like fellow human beings and not camp prisoners on public or private property, for that matter.

In other words, you love jacked-booted nazis on our streets who have contempt for those keeping "the law" in check with "the law".

We used to use Nazi's for bayonet practice in WW2, now we call them "Republicans/Democrats". You make every police officer wince at the thought of you twisting their views. Cops who like to get back at law abiding citizens stop being cops and become thugs. And of course you support such terrorism.

you giggling while you mentally masturbate?

Who the fuck are you shill? Paid for by the establishment?

Fuck you, and all of your government toadies that work in the same office.

Yes it's worth it you fucking slave.

You've chosen your side.

There will be NO quarter for collaborators.
