That was already the case. If you assume bad intent, this law changes nothing. If you assume good intent, this law is codifying reasonable behavior.

What if I'm filming from 8 feet away with good intent and a cop who is doing naughty things walks towards me so they have a legal basis to keep me from filming? And to confiscate what I've already filmed?

I disagree. Now the Bad Cops have a reason to try and intimidate you further. It is a pointless Law in my opinion but we can agree to disagree.
