ROCHESTER, NY (PIX11)— The Rochester Police Department is investigating the arrest of a woman charged with obstructing governmental administration after she videotaped a traffic stop in front of her home. According to New York state law it is legal to videotape a police officer in public, but Emily Good, 28, was arrested around 10 p.m. May 12th as she stood on her front lawn. In the video, now on YouTube, a man who has been pulled over tells two officers, "I just got out of the house, man, I'm sick, man." textSize()
Rochester police officer Mario Masic, identified in the arrest report, then turns to the camera and asks, "You guys need something?"
As Masic approaches Good, she replies, "I'm just -- this is my front yard -- I'm just recording what you're doing. It's my right."
"Actually, not from the sidewalk," the officer incorrectly says.
"This is my yard," Good says.
"I don't feel safe with you standing behind me so I'm going to ask you go into your house, you understand?" Masic says.
Masic goes on to allege, "Due to what you said to me, before you started taping, I think, uh, you need to go stay in your house, guys." However the Huffington Post reported that witnesses confirmed Good made no threatening comments and that the first interaction with the police was on tape.
Masic then begins to threaten Good with arrest if she refuses to go into her house, and Good replies that she shouldn't have to leave her own yard. The argument escalates further until Masic says, "You know what, you're gonna go to jail. That's just not right," and cuffs Good.
Since the incident the Rochester chief of police has called for an internal investigation into the arrest. (See video below)
