It's disturbing to see police officers using plastic rulers to determine whether  cars are 12 inches or 12-and-a-half inches from the curb. If this is not retaliation, then it is outright intimidation.

Nevertheless, it looked that these police officers were not happy doing somebody's dirty work. I bet some of these officers will leak to the media who gave this unwise order. Because despite the official denials, this was not a regular enforcement.

People just need to have better things to do. If there had been a shootout, her fat ass would have been back on her couch with a bag of potatoe chips in no time.

People like her make me sick. If a cop is beating a subject, etc...then I have no problem with videotaping them in the wrong, but these guys were professional about the situation. Bottom line is it is legal to record and the charges were subsequently dropped. However, I liked how she started crying like a little baby when they arrested her. The same guys she would be counting on to come to her rescue if she was being raped or robbed.

The chief had to apologize because of the amount of media.

If she was trying to catch them abusing their power, it was a non-factor since they had already made the arrest & the subject was already being placed in the cruiser. She responds with "I'm in my yard, it's my right." Right there, that's being antagonistic, while these guys are trying to do there job. How about thinking that by her distracting the cops, another individual could have either been in the backseat hiding or in the neighborhood and catch the officers' off-guard?

You are all morons on here. First off, Don't comment on this video alone until you know what instigated this. The lady who lives directly where these vehicles are parked started to record video of police officers' on a routine traffic stop. While one of the police officers was arresting the operator for violating the law, two others were attempting to search the inside of the vehicle. The woman was BEHIND the cops in her yard being a distraction. They asked her very politely to go back in house.

All these tickets were dropped, and these officers wasted their time. The Sargent, or Chief can't recall which, made a public apology for this type of retaliation, and stated he would not tolerate it. These officers were just pissed because a citizen made it national news of their misdeeds.
