(CNN) -- Prosecutors dismissed a charge Monday against a community activist who was arrested while filming a police encounter with her iPod camera because she was concerned it was initiated by racial profiling.

"I'm feeling vindicated, I'm feeling energetic" Emily Good, 28, of Rochester, New York, said of the decision to have the charge dropped. Good had been charged with obstruction of governmental administration when she began videotaping the interrogation of a black man by three white officers in front of her house on May 12, she said.

"Based upon the evidence, we could not make out the elements of the crime charged," Monroe County First Assistant District Attorney Sandra Doorley said.

Good said she intends to file a civil suit.

Dennisw believes this officer is “justified” because he “felt threatened” by the little girl.
But, we all know that Dennisw is an idiot.

I see no Constitutional issues here but I do see a commie punk trying to snare the police in some kind of racial profiling lawsuit. A little Al Sharpton wanna be. She was cruising for a bruising but unfortunately for her the police did not touch her.

Please notice your compadres on the thread hysterically crying out — Gestapo!

I pity you.
Your life must really suck.

He’s a troll. Nobody can be THAT big a drooling idiot.

He’s just putting on the “I’m an inbred, demented rapist” act for shock value. I’m not buying it for a minute.

lol

I love the US constitition. It is indeed one of the best documents that could ever have been written by the hand of man.

However, the Supreme court does recognize that the rights contained therein are not absolute. You cannot shout, ‘Fire’ in a movie theatre under the guise of free speech, and as one judge noted, the constitution is not so absolute a document that it functions as a suicide document.

If this ever went to court, you will probably find that it was within a cop’s ability to ask her to back up so he can affect an arrestm even if she was filming on her property.

He/she is defending the constitution.>>>>>>>

You wouldn’t know The Constitution if it bit you in the butt. BTW it is The Constitution, not the constitution. You are a Ron Paul bush leaguer

He’s yanking your chain and doesn’t believe a word he is saying. He’s a troll.

Think about it...anybody that stupid couldn’t wipe their own butt. They couldn’t feed and dress themselves.

Anybody that stupid would die because the “forgot how to breathe.”

Relax, ignore him. He’ll go away.

Pretty rich coming from the ninny who cried out — Gestapo -— on this thread. Once again, due to your Pavlovian anti-cop animus you defend a lefty community activist trying to entrap the police

Amazing, isn’t it, the rationalizing some people use in their rants against people who have view of events different from their own? Makes me wonder whether any of these people would be willing to trade places for just one day with those who protect and serve!

. Nor is the right of the officer to make unlawful demands of a citizen absolute, as shown by the fact that the charges were dropped.

If this ever went to court, you will probably find that it was within a cop’s ability to ask her to back up so he can affect an arrestm even if she was filming on her property.

If this goes to court, it will be before a jury of citizens who will probably more inclined to put themselves in the place of the property owner. I doubt that many will sympathize with a police officer who, in the company of several other officers, felt so threatened by a woman on her own property who clearly was not a danger to him that he felt justified in ordering her into her home. Folks are starting to see the police as tools of Big Government, and they feel pushed around by Big Government. I wouldn't be so sure about the outcome.

An innocent cop cannot be entrapped.

A lefty community activist is hauled in for bugging the police and we have our Mensa level freepers crying out Gestapo. You are correct. I would like to see them last more than one day as a cop.

If this cop was in the wrong then big deal. The lefty pest was released intact with no visible marks from being tortured by the “Gestapo”. Naturally this pest named Emily Good is looking into a lawsuit

Yes, because no innocent person is ever entrapped - not ever/s

I wonder if remarks like this are reviewed before hitting the post button???

I put the Guerena situation squarely on the sheriff. I don't blame SWAT at all, because they only reacted with the information they had.

So who do you blame for preventing emergency medical treatment and allowing him to bleed to death?

Clearly you have not figured it out. Either the cop does something wrong or he does not. No one can videotape a cop doing something wrong if the cop does nothing wrong.
