I personally know some policeman. They are not all created equally, or handle a certain situation in the same way. My friend told me so many have a chip on their shoulder, and make it very appearant. Not all but some, and the more experience the better. I do not feel this women was doing anything wrong, truthfully. So it seems it is perfectly acceptable for police to do the videotaping, but someone as you or me cannot tape as this women was for fear of the same thing happening. What was so wrong that she was doing. Was this a crime! She was on her own property.
However without being there and witnessing for myself what happened, there always is two sides to a story, maybe more here then meets the eye. Why did the officer not feel safe. And you know these days, it is not easy being a policeman, there are crackpots out there, every corner of the globe. They do have a very hard job, and people getting crazier my the minute.
Yes, she was disrespectful. He told her he did not feel safe with her there and she refused to go back into her house and he gave her plenty of fair warning as to his intentions if she did not back off.
And then the brave one who stands true to her convictions walks off crying and wailing.
And still without commiting an arrestable offense.
When someone says they don't feel safe, you back off. When you are repeatedly asked to do something under these circumstances, you back off and just go back into your house. It was really none of her business and she invaded the privacy of the suspect by filming him.
What are you talking about?
Since when does not respecting the statement "I don't feel safe" give the police grounds to arrest somebody?
Just thought you all would like to know that there is a law on the NYbooks that states:
"S 195.10 Refusing to aid a peace or a police officer.
A person is guilty of refusing to aid a peace or a police officer
when, upon command by a peace or a police officer identifiable or
identified to him as such, he unreasonably fails or refuses to aid such
peace or a police officer in effecting an arrest, or in preventing the
commission by another person of any offense.
Refusing to aid a peace or a police officer is a class B misdemeanor."

Boy! That cop shoulda held a camera up to her face and see'd how she liked it!
