Judge dismisses Naperville suit over female cop reality show

A judge in Chicago has dismissed part of a lawsuit by a woman who claims her rights were violated when she was featured on a reality television show depicting the lives of Naperville's female police officers.

Eran Best's lawsuit against "Female Forces" claims she was humiliated in February 2008. She said she was forced to wait 30 minutes for a camera crew to show up to film her being administered a sobriety test after being pulled over for a moving violation. Resulting charges were later dismissed.

In his opinion last week, U.S. District Judge Matthew Kennelly cited the First Amendment right of free speech.

Kennelly also ruled Best's attorneys must provide more arguments on why her claims of invasion of privacy and infliction of emotional distress should not be dismissed.
