NY Police Arrest Citizen for Filming

And the verdict is in. Case dismissed. The cops were douche bags and were doing nothing more than intimidating this woman. Looks like all they did was create a thorn. Now if someone will just sue them for the ticket debacle, everything will work out. Sadly, nothing will be learned by the cops in this matter. They'll continue to act as they please.

That's good news.

Acc. to the statement released by the mayor, city council pres., and the police chief, the tickets will "require an internal review." I hope that something comes of that, but I won't hold my breath.

"Good" for her (pun intended lol). They still face the possibility of a civil suit and, IMO, Good has a pretty good chance of winning. It would seem pretty cut and dry. I would be surprised if the city doesn't try to offer her a settlement before court.

Looks like the local community is pretty riled up about their police force. Read another article that listed other problems that the RPD has been involved in.

The Mayor and Chief are now in damage control mode.
