Furthermore, I don't think there is any law that says a person has to be standing on their own property or face arrest.
I also wish I could make out what was said just prior to the arrest. Anybody have any luck with that?
man being arrested for DUI is videotaped by man who gets arrested and all of it filmed on a cameraphone by a man who almost gets arrested.
It is illegal to interfere in arrest or investigation. It is illegal to not follow a police order. It is illegal in some places to film without both parties permission (or at least the audio is illegal). It is illegal to film from someone else's property (and there did not appear to be sidewalks). It is illegal to be standing in the roadway filming.
Pick one. Cops just don't like it when they tell you to get lost and you do not. I almost got arrested for watching a crazy arrest from a sidewalk. This stupid cop lady kept telling me I had to move, so I would take a step backwards and ask if it was ok to observe from there. I kept asking her to tell me where it was safe to observe from (I was already 30ft away from the arrest). They get really mad if your rights somehow conflict with their arbitrary feeling of authority.
You might be right, JoeDirt, but I think that public place is public property.
Angie Jolie and Brad Pitt probably never sign releases for the road-side sneak attacks launched on them by tabloid swine.
Bottom line, in my opinion: nobody has to ask anybody's permission to videotape news-worthy events.
When we start arresting people for filming such things, all it does is keep the truth from being told.
