Woman Charged With ‘Obstructing Governmental Administration’ For Filming Police From Her Front Yard
23rd June 2011
The guy keeps trying to come up with reasons to get her to leave her front yard, first suggesting that she can’t film from the sidewalk (so she takes a step back) and then complaining that she’s “anti-police” and that he doesn’t feel safe unless she goes inside. She points out that she’s in her own front yard and not doing anything wrong. The cop then threatens her with arrest, and quickly arrests her, claiming that she didn’t obey a police order.
Really, you can’t make this stuff up.
