It’s not just going on in Maryland and Illinois. From Salisbury (NC) Post by way of the Agitator (hyperlinks mine):
“The resisting-arrest conviction last week of Felicia Gibson has left a lot of people wondering. Can a person be charged with
resisting arrest while observing a traffic stop from his or her own
front porch?
Salisbury Police Officer Mark Hunter thought so, and last week District Court Judge Beth Dixon agreed. Because Gibson did not at first comply when the officer told
her and others to go inside, the judge found Gibson guilty of resisting,
delaying or obstructing an officer.
Gibson was not the only bystander watching the action on the street. She was the only one holding up a cell-phone video camera. But
court testimony never indicated that Hunter told her to stop the camera;
he just told her to go inside.”
Guess Judge Dixon can expect that police union endorsement. See this white-pages-info-confirming article as well as her facebook page for updates on her reelection campaign..
