Maybe I'm wrong but it seemed like anyone could go in there with a camera and "journalist" written onto their shirt and behave like they don't need to follow orders from the police.
- chrisseaton 6y agoWhy are the Police giving anyone orders unless they're committing a crime?
- postalrat 6y agoWho said they weren't commit a crime? Many, if not most, were.
- chrisseaton 6y agoWhen they complain about journalists being arrested... I'm guessing they are implicitly limiting that to non-criminal journalists.
- 8note 6y agoPolice don't need to know of you're committing a crime, only think that you might be. It's up to the courts whether you did If a cop thinks it's illegal to have your shoes untied, or to be jogging, they can arrest you
- chrisseaton 6y agoThat's a circular argument. Why are the police giving orders to people at all? If they think they're committing a crime, arrest them. Otherwise, leave them alone.
