Police Arrest Woman in Her Front Lawn For Filming Traffic Stop

Apologize accepted.

Unfortunately for this cop and his department the law is not subject to what he does and doesn’t think is abiding by it.

The fact that you think a citizen filming the police against their wishes shows “how stupid they were to get involved” is pretty sad. Thank God everyone doesn’t blindly submit to authority like you do.

Cops in this country are out of control and the videos and news reports that come out on an almost daily basis prove it. This is one of the minor examples of it, but it is an example nonetheless.

Right back at you, goose.

I was taking your ridiculous post about what the cop would do and made one about what the woman would do.

"If I was the cop, I would've said "Listen you dumb-bitch, I told you 4 times, nicely, to go back in your house let us do our jobs without being disrupted. You chose to be a wise-ass movie maker & now your stupid-ass is going to jail!!""

"If I was the woman I would wait until my lawsuit money came in, buy a new car, and then drive by the officer that arrested me and say “hey you dumb cocksucker, thanks for choosing to violate my civil rights and now your stupid-ass is responsible for your department having to shell out yet another lawsuit payout!!”"

MrGlue,

At least you're being a good sport about it, right or wrong.

If a cop orders you to do something (that isn't criminal) then you can be arrested for not complying with instructions...

The problem with that is those "instructions" need to be backed by the law in writing, not by someone that just happens to be wearing a badge while in the heat of the moment. Arresting and threatening someone on their own property like that in the video violates civil rights. I really don't know how they can spin it any other way. Unless there is a law that backs up what the cop did in the video, I don't know how the cop's action is defensible. Just saying.

When you have people from many different political beliefs (liberals, conservatives, libertarians) all telling you you’re wrong I can see how you would regret opening your mouth.

Cops can arrest people for literally any reason they want. This is one of the reasons citizens should film them. There have been so many cases where the police flat out lied about what happened, but because a citizen had the camera rolling the truth came out.

It’s a shame people like you think their rights should be violated because the cops don’t want their actions around citizens to be documented.

Freedom of movement. In this case move about within the confines of her own property without being infringed upon by the govt, etc.

Do you really still not get it? Cops, like almost everyone else, lie all the time. The difference is when the rest of us lie about something job related it doesn’t lead to someone’s life being destroyed and them being sent to prison for 10+ years for something they didn’t do.

This is why I, and pretty much everyone here, applaud the citizens who film cops behaving badly and bring their actions to light so cops aren’t allowed to fuck over someone for something they didn’t do.

Mr. Glue clearly "gets it"

Well spoken sir

In a police state you would be right. Fortunately we still don't live in one YET. You must be a fan of martial law? Unlawful restraints turn you on?

What does your logic or morality tell you about an innocent bystander, filming the ordeal on her own property being subjegated to the whims of a cop that isn't working within the confines of the law?

And see post #37 for my definition of "right."

Now I think you're just being silly. Have we all been "PUNK'D!" Where's the camera?

Of course she is going to be charged with something if they took her in. Otherwise it would be called false imprisonment.

And I haven't been arrested or charged with anything either in my 30+ yrs, so what's your point? But unlike you, I don't surrender my rights that easily.

Yes, pretty much everyone here is wrong and you are right because you say so. Well golly gee, case closed then.

This discussion was about citizens filming cops, but you realized that was a losing battle on your part so you keep trying to shift the discussion away from that.

If you honestly thought saying “these people must jerk off to Orwell’s 1984 on a daily basis” meant “the laws in the country are like the rules in Orwell’s 1984” then you are one of the dumbest people here.

Keep shying away from your original argument and attacking strawmen. That seems to be all you can do.
