They should've been paying her to watch that .

(I apologize if I offended any twilight fans with my comment.)

That's messed up...

I was a little confused by that too, but she must have had it out. I mean, how stupid does one have to be to NOT know how to turn off a digital camera!?

Well, it WAS dark- maybe she didn't notice? But then again she must've been pointing it at the screen or she wouldn't have gotten ANY footage.

Probably the bedazzler vampires blinded the camera and that's why she got no footage.

This is just sad. The cop should have pressed play on tape and then walked the F away.

If there was footage of Twilight on there, he should have deleted it and THEN walked the F away.

Too much government = BAD

No, the cop should have looked at what was on the camera, laughed at the manager who called them, then tweeted about it and updated his facebook.

Theories:

1. She couldnt tell the difference between commercials and New Moon

2. The same people who deduced she was a teen deduced this was a crime

3. Commercials r copyrighted material which is why I always skip right over them on the Tivo.

22 is still a teenager in the usa

. the rate of maturity here has slowed down dramaticaly in the current generation, due to our relatively new overprotectionist attitudes towards children and adolescents.

and current movie piracy laws are now criminal, instead of civil, carrying weight and penalties greater than manslaughter ( a form of murder). so as a society we are saying we (the studios) place more value on their intellectual property than human life. there are now federal and state laws specific to individuals with recording devices in movie theaters. hopefully the judge throws this one out. there was no intent to record the movie here, and in fact none of the movie was recorded.

I call "Bulls***"

She was unfamiliar with the settings such that she couldn't simply turn it off, yet she was able to shoot stills and switch the camera to the video function.

I would like to see more people get collared who play around with personal electronics in the theater after the lights go down--particularly you cell phone people.

the new antipiracy laws have granted theater employees power of arrest in cases of piracy. so the cop cant refuse, he is required by law to accept the arrest and custody of the individual. he can however, release the person right there from his custody. but the case must still be handled by the court.

Can you cite some law? Almost 100% positive such laws do not exist in Florida. Not sure about Illinois, where this took place. Also pretty sure the federal acts do not allow for such powers.

Charges dropped:

Seems it was entirely a state law matter. Theater called police with a complaint. Police made arrest. Upon further investigation, suspect was released. Pretty straightforward.

Still wondering the same thing... disappeared and I haven't gotten an explanation to it either...

I'm actually kind of bothered that the manager even involved the cops. He should have confronted the girl himself. Kick her out if need be, but were the authorities really needed here? Come on!
