Syllabus

Appellant's conviction for obstructing official business was supported by sufficient evidence and was not against the manifest weight of the evidence. In addition, Appellant's claim that her First Amendment rights were violated when police officers prohibited her from filming and observing a traffic stop involving her brother lacks merit because there is no evidence in the record indicating that Appellant attempted to film the traffic stop and there is no First Amendment right to merely observe a traffic stop. Any right that Appellant had to observe police activity was forfeited by her conduct that obstructed the officers' lawful actions. Judgment affirmed.
