This law creates a situation where police can just keep walking toward someone filming, demanding that they stop. This is absolutely a tactic that will immediately be used by police to interfere with filming and attempt to prevent video evidence from being used against them.

That reminds me of cops playing copyright music so that videos would get auto-DMCA off YouTube.

I doubt that one would fly. If you have the video of them doing that then presumably a jury of your peers or any sane DA would throw out that case. And if you don’t, then you weren’t recording them right?

Charges can fuck up your life even if you are eventually found not guilty.
