This law effectively prohibits the former while allowing the latter (with the exception for "social networking"). That's the whole problem here.

This is so obviously designed for the cops.

Yes, but without criminalizing individual's right to video recording in public - sometimes this is necessary when you're dealing with bullying or sociopaths (where covert body cameras can be highly effective). Same for exposing animal rights abuses in farm. You want to be gather as much evidence, preferrably video, as you can in those circumstances?
