Work with me on this hypothetican scenario please: I am robbing a pizzeria. The robbery lasts 10 minutes. Next to me for the full 10 minutes is a guy with big camera at hand wearing a vest that writes "PRESS" and is recording the whole thing. Police should not arrest him?

In my mind, they should arrest him, examine the evidence (gun from my pocket, pizza slices from my bag, camera from the journalist). I should then receive my 5-to-10. He should receive a pulitzer.

But at that time, we should both be arrested. Police will not sentence him or me. Courts will do that (sentence or release).

Justice is served in courts. Police should just stick to the basics: Trespass = arrest. Rob = arrest.

Irrespective of whether the guy/lady/etc. is a journalist, baker, etc.
