Finally, you use a Slippery Slope argument in acting as if this lady standing up for her rights and suing is somehow aiding in taking LEA’s down.

Videoing the officers from a reasonable distance from the police action would be an exersize of this and any other person's rights. Videoing the police action within feet of the officers during the action is not reasonable.

For the umpteenth time.

She was on her PRIVATE PROPERTY.

Or are you just deliberately ignoring that fact?

Its her yard, her property, yet the cop, not her, gets to arbitrarily decide how far she must be from him?

He then is the boss of her property?

If the officers felt uncomfortable, there was nothing stopping them from moving their activity further from the woman's private property. Then they could have felt safer, and the woman's civil rights would not have been violated.

What is “reasonable?”

He defined reasonable that reasonable is inside her house. Thus making him the boss of her property - even her yard.

And how would you concretely define “reasonable” within the confines of her yard - where she had a right to be. How? 5 feet away from him? 6? 7? 10? 20?

The yard (her property) is the standard. The only concrete standard. If she is in her yard, her property, that is a concrete standard. Otherwise, cops can arbitrarily decide when and where they want, how far - inside the house or out - etc... 5, 10, 20 feet. Cops then arbitrarily become the boss of the property, which both conservatives and libertarians eschew.

It all boils down to this: do you think that a cop can tell a lady - dressed as she was - to go into her home, and tell her what he did (go in the house) on her property?

And what comment did she make that threatened hi Provide proof of what she said that threatened him enough to cause him to act the way he did.
