> CONDUCTING AN ARREST, ISSUING A SUMMONS OR ENFORCING THE LAW
My point is that "enforcing the law" seems like a very broad umbrella. Prior to this law being written, I think I'd be on OK ground if I was filming an arrest from 10 feet away and an unrelated police officer came up to me and told me to stop.
