You do have a right to question the police. The problem is people dont understand there is a time and place for that. A 3rd party trying to question an officer who is on a traffic stop is not the time nor place. Demanding answers from an officer during the middle of a call or questioning doesnt quite work either.
While I understand people hate the police and so they are targeted because of it, how come you dont bother to go after the courts? Seriously, walk into a courtroom during the middle of a trial and question the judge and watch what happens.
While I understand the fear mongering peole like to do, they need to understand the law and how the system works before opening their mouths.
The guy was let go because no weapon was found in the vehicle, the driver had no warrants for his arrest, he had a valid license and proof of insurance. Exactly what would he be arrested for? Or are you suggesting that because the dirver was stopped and because he is black he should have been arrested?
Secondly, the lady was not arrested for recording the incident. She was arrested because she would not move back. A I have stated in other threads, you guys need to get that through your heads. She was NOT arrested because she was recording. Hell her own recording proves that.
I also find it intresting you guys ignore the females past history, namely the fact she has been arrested in the past for the exact same behavior while protesting foreclosures.edit on 3-7-2011 by Xcathdra because: (no reason given)

But play along here, the idea of probable cause is that, at least as I have understood it over the last 44 years of my life is, you better have a damn good reason to cuff a human (kidnap and imprison) and violate his property.

Reading all your comments is hilarious. None of you know anything about this woman yet you take her side. If you actually delved into the history of this woman, you will find that she's been arrested before at protests. Her whole sob story has been carefully crafted. It is all an act and you all unfortunately have fallen for it. Yay denying ignorance!

Your recording may also be seized if it is evidence in a crime.
She never was arrested for recording the Police. She was arrested for failing to obey a lawful command.
Since the charges were dropped by the PA, MS. Good has since filed a civil suit for false arrest and violatin her civil rights - which wont go anywhere.
They also ignore that MS. Good has been down this road prior to this incident, up to and including being arrested for failing to obey lawful commands by other officers while proteting foreclosures.
Secondly, many states have wiretapping laws and it is illegal in those states to record a conversation without the consent of all partys. In such places if an officers refuses to give you his consent to record or the person being investigated, then you must turn off the audio or stop recording.
