Woman Getting Arrested in her front yard

After reading and watching the video tape of the woman getting arrested, it made me a little mad. I think in todays world since there is so many opportunities to be your own journalist/ photographer that authorities get scared that it will appear every where. In this case this woman was video taping an arrest from her yard which is legal to do, but my opinion was that the officers simply did not like the fact that they were on camera. They obviously took their authority too far, which in my opinion a lot of officers of the law do so. She followed their orders and did everything according to the law. As her friends stated at the end of the video that they let the guy go who they were originally arresting to take her into jail which is ABSURD! Officers were afraid that what they were doing was wrong so they took her to jail in order to cover up their wrongs. I think that too many people do that today because it is so easy. Especially in cases like this where there is evidence. Back before cameras and video camera people were less likely to be caught for doing wrong but now a days everything can be captured and people that are capturing these photos and footage are the ones getting in trouble rather than the people causing the trouble which is completely wrong.
