well I've come across this a few times (playing concerts you have to get people to smuggle camera's in to get photographed) it is actually because she filmed/photographed people without their consent (this is because of the internet really). Obviously the cop wasn't a consenting person. He basically got tired of her bugging him with a camera so he nabbed her on that.
Well the thing about that is this; when you are in a public place or can be seen from a public place your picture can be taken without consent. That is why you see celebrities in the paper coming out of clubs or eating outdoors. At concerts cameras and video recording devices are usually not allowed because they are attempting to cut back on boot legging or inapropriate use of images.
I don't know for sure but it seems that she was arested for standing on the steps and amplifying her voice without proper permits. She was warned repeatedly to stay in the street and to refrain from amplifying her voice. It also doesn't help that she was in the cops' face from the begining.
I don't really feel sorry for her. She was told what could happen and she continued. As my father use to say, "if you're going to be stupid, you better be tough." My advice to her is to pick her battles a little better.
