Emily Good was arrested after filming the police perform a traffic stop outside of her house. She was charged with obstructing the officer’s administration of government. Now, the police have targeted her neighbors and supporters by ticketing them with the most minor of infractions.
during a neighborhood meeting in support of Ms Good, Rochester Police came out with a ruler and measured the parking-distance of the attendees’ cars. Cars that were more than 12 inches from the curb (even by half an inch) were ticketed. Needless to say, the 12 inch ordinance isn’t normally enforced with this kind of vigor.
This is the video of her filming the traffic stop.
Members of the community who are supporting Ms. Good haven now had the police’s eyes turned on them.
The message from the police is loud and clear: “We will do whatever we want, when we want. If you try to object, we will find some way to make you pay.”
