A woman was arrested in Rochester for filming the police making a traffic stop from her own property!
Before the tape began, the police officer stated on tape that he didn't feel very safe or that the woman seemed anti-police with her statement she made before she started filming. However, it's not known from the film what she said.
Big brother doesn't like having a big brother watching over him.
As a former cop, I can tell you this - the job is dangerous. And most people are anti-police. Now being on the outside, I don't blame them. Being anti-police isn't a crime, especially when you look at how our Miranda rights are worded "...anything you say can and *will* be used *against* you in a court of law." Whereas countries like Canada, their warning is along the lines of "...anything you say may be read aloud in court" - not just "will be used against you." 
However, I don't blame an officer for being paranoid about being filmed. I wouldn't want it. Law enforcement is ugly, police are trained to anticipate outcomes and prevent them from happening and so the job is usually misunderstood by civilians and it does look ugly on tape usually. But you can't arrest a woman for you not feeling safe from what she said unless she specifically communicated a threat and violated a law. Not only that, getting distracted in the middle of a traffic stop to handle an additional threat puts the person you detained/arrested in danger - which is illegal during a prisoner transport or any type of detention if its avoidable.
My advice? Speed up your traffic stop and/or request a roll-by and some backup as an additional witness and wait until it arrives to conduct your business, or direct the individual to pull ahead, or ignore the camera, or call an officer to investigate the lady, or even ask "for the privacy of the individual would you please respect him and stop filming?" (see if that works). In Rochester your backup shouldn't be too far behind, maybe 2 minutes if someone ran code 2 to get there.
To the lady? Don't be an antagonist and film and be so obvious about it. If you wish to film, do it in such a way where you're not distracting the officer from his job, he's got enough to worry about without people like you interfering with his job. Harassing the police isn't conducive to the public safety.
Either way, I think she's going to win on this one though.
