Even if she was part of an ‘anti-police’ group, she was standing on her private property, completely acting within her legal rights. There was absolutely no indication of any probable cause of a law being violated, eminent danger, and obviously no warrant.
I’m not one to bash LEOs, I think the 90% good ones are being tarnished by the 10% bad ones, however, if the video tape tells an honest tale, she was in the right.
This is similar to all other matters of rights- they are inherent. Laws are there to protect our inherent rights and limit infringement of those rights. It has become bass-ackwards.
“There’s no way to rule innocent men. The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren’t enough criminals, one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible to live without breaking laws.” - Ayn Rand
STOP RESISTING!
She seems to have an excellent reason to be anti-police; at least with the cops in her city.
What part of this is not supposed to be a police state do you not understand? It's 100% irrelevant how easy or how hard it would have been for her to follow the JBTs illegal order. She did nothing wrong and she was on her own property. Queen of the castle, end of story.
But by all means, keep feeding the totalitarian state little by little, then wonder in amazement when the monstrous, hungry beast devours you. But it will be OK, because they will just be following orders.
if it takes a few brave souls to confront tyranny, we should all be happy....
This doesn’t change the fact that the cop was way out of line.
She was home. The police were wrong period. If they are afraid of being taped then they must be doing something wrong. As they like to say to us what do you have to hide.
Yes, just do as you are told, the overlords are beneficent after all.
Be a good sheep, Baa Baa
Nope...I saw the entire video. She was not trying to provoke him...just the opposite...He was trying to provoke her and he did...
Wrong. She was filming a stop in case something sinister happened. You know, like a cop arresting you for being on your own lawn filming a stop. Something sinister like that.
How hard would it have been for her to go into her home when asked?
Pretty damned hard, whatwith America supposedly being free and all.
She knew what she was doing and clearly did not listen to an order.
It was an illegal order.
She listened when he asked her to step back but never to go in the house...weird.
She shouldn't have stepped back, either.
Who goes outside to get fresh air with a camera in hand?
People who are keeping cops honest.
Someone who is doing it on purpose to interfere with a police investigation.
Filming is not interfering.
