Milania Giudice appeared to laugh off her May 14 domestic violence arrest<\/a>, as seen in newly released police dashcam footage.<\/p>\n

The video, which Page Six exclusively obtained from the Montville Township Police Department on Friday, shows officers placing a handcuffed Giudice in the back of a cop car.<\/p>\n

The 20-year-old seemingly scoffs as she speaks while an officer puts her seatbelt on her. Giudice then looks toward the open door, lets out a laugh and turns back around to face forward with a smile on her face.<\/p>\n
