A citizen is arrested for taking a video of police on her front yard. Considered citizen journalism, how do you feel about her arrest? Was it lawful?
It’s a difficult situation because on one hand you have a woman who seeks to expose a possible issue at hand, the racial profiling. On the other hands, the police are trying to keep the public safe, the person pulled over could be potentially dangerous, so it would seem like a good idea that the woman comply with police requests to stay back. But she didn’t and that’s how the altercation rose.
What do you think about it?

There’s a wonderful organization called the Journalists for Human Rights. Maybe I should bring this up to them. (I found this on Citizen’s Journalism on twitter)
