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.
