> I wonder if the first will stand up to Constitutional review. I imagine there are many First Amendment protected purposes for recording that may require the recorder to be within 25 feet of the officer.

It may be possible to stand 25ft back and hold a 15ft long pole with a camera, or place a phone/camera on the ground and then stand back, to get past this issue.

Legality aside, I can't imagine waving a 15ft long pole towards the police will go over well.

Yeah, very many people can't afford a decent lawyer when they need one, and might not get one even if they can, in which case legality really is... aside.
