"The woman was videotaping a traffic stop in front of her house at night. The video speaks for itself."

I think they're teaching them stock phrases in the police academies now.

"I feel threatened"

STOP RESISTING!

No need to divert traffic through the Ron Paul web site....or was that you intent?

[Hoodat]

Ah, so this is what fascism is like.

[cripplecreek]

All I know is that city folks sure do have a lot of problems with police. LOL

Bub-by first amendment, you were great while you lasted.

[Drill Thrawl]

And they wonder why we our distrust grows.

LEO’s, and I have great respect for them, in this instance are completely out of line and out of control! $$$$ comin’ her way!

[southern rock]

I hope she sues those jerks. Not just the police dept, but the officers personally. What a slimey twit that cop is.

Thats a disgusting video. I hope she makes a ton in her lawsuit.

The cop was ridiculously prissy. Is he a castrati or something?

[Clintonfatigued]

By doing this, the police act as if they have something sinister to hide. It doens’t inspire confidence.

[bvw]

Well, I hope she does win and the prissy cop who arrested her gets fired for cause.

She’s fortunate the storage (tape or whatever the camera used) was not destroyed. Cameras that can upload to the internet as they go by 4G or similarly fast technology would be the best.

[paul51]

where in the world would someone get the crazy idea they could stand in their yard and record something going on in the street? I bet she didn't have her papers with her either.

[bvw]

He arrested her because she made him uncomfortable. what section of the code is that?

[hinckley buzzard]

The other day on a thread I posted that there are good cops and bad cops, and cop-cops who need to control the bad cops. This is a new category, the chickenshit cop, a badge- happy jerkoff who has missed his true calling, that of mopping out the toilets and disinfecting the glory holes at interstate rest stops.

[ClearCase_guy]

The day will soon come when the police will wish that citizens were only videotaping them.

A hard rain is gonna fall, and the guys in blue, for the most part, are the enemy.

[HiTech RedNeck]

hey, if the occifer doesn’t get to stay anonymous someone might go after him — why don’t they just acknowledge the obvious and begin wearing ski masks a la SWAT every where they go?

[TwoSwords]

I’ve had leo’s arrest me (once) in error and let me go w grace (once) when I was in error. We need them. But this is getting ridiculous. Where are the leo’s on FR to comment on this?
