I would consider it barely logical to think the cop approaching you specifically so they can claim you're in the way of their operations and gain an excuse to stop your filming (https://youtu.be/VWHOz5sLk-c https://youtu.be/VWHOz5sLk-c https://youtu.be/L7lHeRBgs9U https://youtu.be/L7lHeRBgs9U https://youtu.be/HEL8CdV9HUQ https://youtu.be/HEL8CdV9HUQ) would suddenly stop because:
"Whelp now they're a part of this police interaction [as I intended] so I should respect their rights [which me approaching them was an attempt to interfere with]"
The current MO is:
- Cop approaches someone recording
- Proceed to apply psuedo-legal pressure because you're now "too close" to a cop (who approached you to begin).
And you actually think that a law that replaces a murky step two with "You can't film within 8ft of us" is an upgrade?
You actually think the cop informing you you can't film them will take the law they approached you to enforce as a reason to leave you alone?

There's something beautiful yet dangerously naive about the kind of people who have this much good faith in how police leverage the law.
Sorry but even the "good cops" are not about to use the law to expand your rights.
