Ummm....it may have occurred to him that some of the other diabolical neighbors might have (gasp) had cameras as well.
We already know they are serial parking menaces...lol.
Possibly, but the only way one could know for certain was if she had kept her distance and kept her mouth shut. If she had done that, but quietly filmed and was still arrested, than one could say that it was because the cop was anti-camera she was arrested.
However, because she chose to insert herself into the arrest by filming too close and being a distraction, she could have been arrested, even if she had no camera.
Yeah, I do agree with you that the cops were foolish by going after minor traffic infractions like that. Because of the job cops have to do, maintaining goodwill with the community should always be a priority.
