Photography and Surveillance required post


After reading the articles under the Photography and Surveillance links the one that stuck out to me most was the one “Woman Arrested After Videotaping Police From Her Own Front Yard”. Although it was the woman’s right to record this police officer I also believe that she should have listened to him when he asked her not to record him because it obviously was making him very uncomfortable. Just because he is uncomfortable does not mean he is doing something wrong. I agree that maybe she shouldn’t have been arrested but I also believe that she shouldn’t have resisted so much. It is the same as taking photographs of random people on the streets. Although you do have the right to this it still upsets many people as they don’t want to have their photographs taken for a variety of reasons. It may be your right but you still need to give respect to other people. I don’t think it was right for the woman to blatantly disrespect the officer’s request. Also, this officer didn’t seem to be doing anything wrong and I think that he deserves to do his job without having someone standing over him video taking him just because she can. It was an intrusion on his privacy.
