Police Retaliation/Intimidation
Did you hear about the lady who was arrested on her own property for filming a police stop?

I don't see what the big deal is. I have a standard procedure of whipping out my pork sword and measuring curb distance every time I park my car.
Sure, I've gotten a few copmlaints but I just scream that I'm a law abiding citizen complying with the law.
Truth be told, I should be the one complaining about the constant need to wash road grime off my junk.
Time to initiate the broken windows game again maybe?
Where's the leadership in Washington on this issue?
Why isn't there a national right-to-film-in-public law that sets things clear and straight for everybody, police and citizens alike?
Oh, I forgot. The commies running the country want to fuck up America, not fix it.
I don't like that. I really don't like that.
It's like they're saying "You know all those community outreach programs to try to build respect and rapport? Well.... just kidding!"
I'm beginning to smell a lawsuit
I believe that it is universal that taking pictures or filming in public (not on some one's private property), where there is no expectation of privacy, is lawful, so long as it is not used for commercial purposes without getting permission first.
I would love to see what the police would have done if she was inside her house aiming the camera out the window. Would they have forced entry? What a police state!
I think cameras and filming police is the best way to prevent abuses. Police departments had better accept this. As the saying goes, if you are not breaking the law you have nothing to fear.
Charges against Emily Good dismissed. Step 1 completed.
Step 2, crippling lawsuits, hopefully soon to follow.
It's way past time for public servants to learn their damned place.
