Checking through his listing of "altercations" you'll find where the cops took a number of news cameras.

"Wow!" is right, unbelievable
I like few cops, those that I do, I love like brothers.
This guy gives a new meaning to "protect and serve".

As an LEO, I do not understand taking someone's cell phone or camera or whatever. I know a few states, like Maryland, have laws prohibiting the videoing of officers in the conduct of their duty. I have been taped many times. It never bothered me. If someone was making me nervous, I just keep an eye on them. If they start interfering with whatever I am doing, yes, they are going to jail.
As with most clips of this nature on the internet, there is some context that is probably missing. The girl did state that the one being arrested from the traffic stop was her friend. What else was going on in the area at the time? Does NY have a similar law to Maryland? Too many questions to make a certain judgement of wrongdoing on the officer's part.

Cops wonder why the everyday citizen either doesn't want to cooperate or is suspect of the dealing with the police. Putting more pressure on the citizenry to comply with any action on their part is not helping their case.
Not to say that there aren't good cops out there, but this trend of police officers to arrest people who are simply filming them isn't sitting well with me.
Here all this time I thought in America my land was my land. I guess it's my land until the cops decide to walk right on it and arrest me.
I particularly enjoy the part where the cop seemingly just says screw it I'm just going to arrest you because I can.

That is a broad brush you're painting with.

There has to be more to this. I'm waiting for the "rest" of the story.

One thing that has been touched on lightly throughout this discussion is the first statement that comes out of Ms. Good's mouth, "that's my friend and I'm just recording what your doing."
That statement in and of itself with no other environmental additions automatically would draw my attention to her. If I'm the LEO on camera, then I have her friend (possibly boyfriend or relative) detained right in front of her (possibly his) house while she is filming me. The issue is not that she is filming me, it's that she is now personally involved with my actions just based on who I'm detaining. Some would argue that she's just a female, but I assure you that most females possess opposable thumbs that are capable of operating the same weapons us males can.
Another thing that needs to be considered in this situation is the area in which the incident occurred. There are places in my AO that I don't feel near as threatened when people exit their homes and watch what myself and fellow officers are doing. Then there are the area's in which it stays good to your well being that you maintain 100% SA with every person within sight. I'm not from Rochester and don't know the area in which the incident in question took place so I can't comment on such, just something to think about.
On the flip side, as a LEO I've been filmed on countless occasions and not once have I instructed someone to put their camera away. In this situation it's hard to Monday morning QB the actions as we don't know why the subject in handcuffs was being detained/arrested. However, it would seem that if the situation allowed for it, removing the detained subject from the scene would have been a acceptable alternative to what occurred.
On a side note, I realize this website is dedicated to Professional Soldiers, namely Special Forces of which the OP is and as such the following statement is directly towards Pete. I do not appreciate the title of this thread. I'm sure there have been a select few of QP's who have disgraced the heritage that is Special Forces however, I have the oversight to not group those very select few into a basket and make statements such as "Another chicken shit Green Beret."
