Perhaps '8 feet' is meant to keep a filmer out of potential harm, and from interfering with a police officer and suspect potentially struggling.
- ubermonkey 4y agoNo. This law has been written so as to be deliberately vague, and thus allow abuse. There are precious few examples of people filming cops actually interfering. There are, however, a LOT of examples where video documentation of police misconduct led to departmental embarrassment, lawsuits, and even (though rarely) criminal charges. The law exists to try to prevent THAT.

If that were the intent, there'd be no reason to focus on the act of filming. It would just say "8 feet for anyone besides police officers and those the police officers are dealing with."
