It doesn't matter if video "evidence" is archived. The reality is after the BLM/ANTIFA riots, penalties for 1A activates are basically a slap on the hand. In the vast majority of situations, there is no penalty at all. You need to be doing extremely serious stuff to get bagged. The vast majority of stuff being done would not even warrant a charge. It is just the reality and the stuff that was serious was most likely not even recorded or did not get enough evidence to justify a successful prosecution. The feds only go after people when they have a slam dunk case on them.

Well except they actually broke a law. This wasn't simply an 1A activity. 18 U.S. Code § 1752 - Restricted building or grounds (a) Whoever— (2) knowingly, and with intent to impede or disrupt the orderly conduct of Government business or official functions, engages in disorderly or disruptive conduct in, or within such proximity to, any restricted building or grounds when, or so that, such conduct, in fact, impedes or disrupts the orderly conduct of Government business or official functions; https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/1752 https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/1752

  Breaking a law and being prosecuted for it does not always happen. Look at how many cases the feds actually prosecute. Small amount. They simply do not have enough resources to handle all the potential leads coming in, so the weakest are simply not pursued.

    Imagine a government that treated the law with such respect, that every single law was always enforced to a “T”. Our government haphazardly enforces the law and so disrespects it. However with the number of laws we have I’d probably be scared to see them all enforced to a “T”. Though it could be argued our disrespect for the law caused us to write so many laws. Trump is a power hungry man it seems. He’d even break the highest constitutional law of the land if he could get away with it, and not relinquish power. However good thing we’ve respected and kept the 2nd amendment law of the land, so there is a force who will not allow him to break that law of the land. Weirdly enough though Trump is taking a play from the “who cares if we don’t follow the constitution” crowd. Will the constitution lovers prove to be hypocrites, and be fine with breaking it here? Will those who have argued for unconstitutional laws to be passed via the Supreme Court be annoyed, when his newly elected scota judges reinterpret the constitution to let him remain president? Let’s hope that he elected judges who take the constitution written as is so he is firmly booted out of his office without the government to back him Or else it smells like a civil war. Not the North and South this time, but probably rural vs city, across all states. That is a scary thought.
