>>However, the girl drew attention to herself by filming no more than 6 feet or so from the arrestee’s car.<<
That statement is idiotic on its face. “Drew attention to herself”? No, that is not even close to reality. That is false. That is a lie. So cut the crap.
And no, she was not within six feet of the cop, and she was not interfering.
Those are absolutely stupid, and false, statements.
You want to live in a world where cops get to tell you every move to make, and haul you off to jail if you don’t “obey orders” while standing harmlessly on your own property. You applaud it. You should be ashamed.
Well guess what? That cuts against the grain of what liberty is all about. It is unAmerican.
Everything you say is to defend the “cop’s” rights,that he has to “feel safe” whether the danger is real or not, or if he could articulate what the specific danger was. But you don’t give a crap about citizen’s rights. That’s your problem.
You want to mischaracterize this woman as physically interfering, which is a lie. You say the woman “drew attention to herself” which anyone can see is a lie.
Until you want to own up to your dishonesty, and retract it, please don’t address me again.
How wide was the sidewalk? Most sidewalks in cities in residential parts are about two feet wide. Most borders from the sidewalk to the street are usually about a foot. The car was, at most about 2 feet from the sidewalk.
Am I forgetting something, jerk or are you off your Xantax?
If you remember your elementary school math, or pull out a calculator, 2 + 2 + 1 equals 5 feet. It is possible I might be an inch or two off, but that’s ok because I’m not in the area to take measurements. But if you could stop by Rochester, with your trusty school ruler, it’d be appreciated.
She was interfering by being a potential risk to herself and the cops, because every arrest is unpredictable and the cops need as few factors as possible to ensure everything goes as smoothly as possible.
You don’t have the right to decide if you can approach an arrest from any distance and, if you take it on yourself to stand just a few feet, contrary to an officer’s orders, you deserve to sit in a holding cell for exactly 23 hours and 59 minutes and 59 seconds.
For your information, cops have always had the power to tell law abiding citizens what to do, in a lawful manner. The fact that you think citizens should have a free-for-all, is irrelevant to this basic fact.
Don’t like it? Tough cookies, Champ.
There’s no specific danger in this particular situation, but cops consider potential situations at all times. However, since you’re telepathic and all and know precisely which people are going to go off and specifically when they are going to do that, why not become a cop and be that shining example, from coast to coast and show them the kind of cops they could be, if they only had you as that shining example.
Otherwise, you’ve got shiat to complain about and about as much ground to stand on.
At least I’ve taken the time to educate myself on why cops act like they do? How many cops have you talked to in the last month, aside from the ones that might be locking you up in the drunk tank?
