Virginia Police Arrest Woman for Asking Simple Question

With a woman who asked why he was being arrested by Virginia police.

The whole thing was caught on video by a bystander recording in the vertical mode, who surprisingly did not get arrested considering how touchy these Norfolk PD officers seem to be.

The incident took place on Mother’s Day, so perhaps the cops were upset of having to work that day and figured they might as well ruin everybody else’s day.

Not a whole lot of information is available on this incident, but the video was [__posted Monday__](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CSdHQdzMCbo) with the following description:

> Here’s another example of how our improperly trained and ego driven police force wastes tax dollars. Hours were spent detaining and arresting these people because the gentleman had his dog on the rocks (no signs posted against it) and the lady asked for an explanation. The officers didn’t even read the suspects their rights.

As one commenter pointed out, police are not required to read a person their rights upon arrest.

That is just a myth perpetuated by television cop shows.

Police are only required to read a person’s Miranda Rights before they interrogate a suspect, if they would like to preserve those statements as evidence to be used in court.

Otherwise, anything you say cannot be held against you in court.

The woman had walked up to the scene where the man was sitting on the beach with his dog being questioned by a male and female cop. She asked them if he was free to go or being detained.

The male cop told her it was none of her business, so she directed her statements at the man with the dog, suggesting he ask the cops if he was being detained or not.

That was when the female cop moved in to arrest her, telling her she was being arrested for obstruction.

Below is an [__explanation from a Virginia lawyer__](https://medvinlaw.com/virginia-obstruction-of-justice-resisting-arrest-laws-penalties-defense-attorney/) as to what exactly constitutes obstruction in Virginia, which makes the arrest seem like overkill considering all she was doing was asking a simple question.

What do you think?

Support our Mission

Help us build a database of bad cops

For almost 15 years, PINAC News has remained active despite continuous efforts by the government and Big Tech to shut us down by either arresting us for lawful activity or by restricting access to our readers under the pretense that we write about “social issues.”

Since we are forbidden from discussing social issues on social media, we have created forums on our site to allow us to fulfill our mission with as little restriction as possible. We welcome our readers to join our forums and support our mission by either donating, volunteering or both.

Our plan is to build a national database of bad cops obtained from public records maintained by local prosecutors. The goal is to teach our readers how to obtain these lists to ensure we cover every city, county and state in the country.

After all, the government has made it clear it will not police the police so the role falls upon us.

It will be our most ambitious project yet but it can only be done with your help.

But if we succeed, we will be able to keep innocent people out of prison.
