My guess is that it’s an attempt to protect law enforcement from being photographed or taped without permission - without explicitly being set up as a law for that purpose.

Pretty much unenforceable on a broad scale.

Yeah, I thought if someone was in the public sphere, they were fair game. That’s how paparazzi make their money.

So does this mean no more pictures/video of inaugurations, swearing in ceremonies, and the like? No video of demonstrations? Campaign rallies?

But I think FFL pegged it. It’s designed to prevent filming of cops.

No cameras, no photos, no officials caught doing what officials should not be doing.

Spot on. Unconstitutional as well BTW. Won’t hold up AFAIK. Not at the Federal court level.

With the current makeup of the SCOTUS, I won’t hold my breath. They haven’t exactly proven to care one whit about the reality of the constitution when it conflicts with GOP goals.

Point taken but existing law is pretty clear. I don’t think it would get heard that far up. It’s settled long ago. Most 1st Amendment stuff has.

Good point to call this out just take this as an opinion the good guys will win this one sooner or later.

These people are off their effing rockers. What a stupid bill.

Cops can lie to you but you break the law when you lie to them. Now, cops can video you but you break a law when you video them??? You cannot trust something so one-sided.
