Probably for the dastardly crime of filming the police. She'll be thankful that she had the foresight to upload the video as it was being recorded.

  Minnesota is a single-party consent state. http://wiretapping.uslegal.com/state-laws/minnesota/ http://wiretapping.uslegal.com/state-laws/minnesota/ > In Minnesota, it is legal for a person to record a wire, oral or electronic communication if that person is a party to the communication, or if one of the parties has consented to the recording so long as no criminal or tortious intent accompanies the recording. Minn. Stat. § 626A.02.

    It's legal to record the police almost anywhere. Doesn't mean they won't harass and arrest you for it.

      When they arrest people it tends to be because that state has dual-party consent laws for recording of private conversations. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/08/13/filming-police-officers_n_5676940.html http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/08/13/filming-police-offi... > A number of states do bar people from recording private conversations without consent. But as long as the recording is made “openly and not surreptitiously,” said Osterreicher, it’s fair game. According to Osterreicher, “assuming the position of holding up a camera or phone at arm’s length while looking at the viewing screen should be enough to put someone on notice that they are being photographed or recorded.”

        The thing you just quoted supports my position, not yours.
