A Twilighter in Chicago was arrested at a screening of New Moon for apparently videotaping the movie.
Oddly enough, she never actually videotaped ANY part of the movie, with the exception of some ads before the flick!
Turns out the 22-year-old took her sister out to celebrate her 29th birthday and snapped some pictures in their seats with their new camera before the film started.
As the lights dimmed, the woman started fiddling with the camera, still unfamiliar as to how it worked. A manager caught sight of this and immediately called the police.
The cops arrested her, charged her with a felony, and threw her in jail for two days facing charges of a hefty fine or possibly spending up to three years in prison!
So what ended up on the camera? Just FOUR minutes of recording which included commercials, the woman’s conversation with her family, and NO FOOTAGE of the movie.
Extreme? YES!
The woman insists she had no intention of filming the movie and that she was just trying to work her new camera. Furthermore, when she used the camera in the theater to take pictures and record a video of the family singing “Happy Birthday”, the usher never warned her not to use the camera.
Obviously, she plans to fight the charges in court.
How absurd!
