Charges Dismissed Against Woman Arrested While Videotaping Traffic Stop From Her Front Yard
The case against a 28-year-old woman charged with obstructing governmental administration after refusing a police officer’s order to leave her front yard while she was videotaping a traffic stop has been dismissed. WHEC reported a judge dismissed the case against Emily Good of Rochester, New York on Monday because there was insufficient evidence of a crime. Good was arrested while she filmed police officers conducting a traffic stop in front of her home. Good's recording shows the officers saying that they feel threatened by her standing behind them because she seemed "very anti-police." Donald Thompson, attorney for Emily Good, said they may sue one of the police officers involved in her arrest. Her stated reason for video taping in the first place was that three white officers were stopping a young black male," Thompson said. "And she's obviously attuned to social issues and concerns. There's nothing wrong with monitoring the course of those proceedings to make sure the correct procedures are being followed."
