N.C. Woman Arrested for Filming Cops Wins Settlement

She was standing in her own front yard

Like several cases we have seen over the years, North Carolina resident Felicia Gibson was arrested for video recording a traffic stop from her front yard.

Salisbury Police Sgt. Mark Hunter even went as far as chasing Gibson inside her home where he arrested her for resisting arrest.

And when Gibson took the case to trial, Judge Beth Dixon further pissed on the Constitution by convicting her.

"My efforts failed as Dixon was reelected anyway."
Yeah, well, we got Obozo in 2012 also.

Should it even be possible to be arrested for resisting arrest?

The Constitution is diruptive to law enforcement's ability to perform its duties.

What a BITCH!

Constitution? We don't need no stinking Constitution. (paraphrase from Treasure of The Sierra Madre).

Law enforcement is paid with taxpayer dollars. When they are wearing their badges and performing their duties they are subject to the public sphere. They are not private citizens. People should have the right to record police action.
