Using a little deductive reasoning, If the law was really about officer safety, you could remove all reference to video recording, and just make it about people staying away from “police activity’ / not interfering with investigations, but then that would mean no one could approach a police officer. And since if I’m not filming I can still spproach, one has to ask, is it more likely that people film AND assault/interfere with the police, or just interfere/assault (I’d posit the later)? So it’s clear that this about stoping filming period, the pretense that it’s about anything else seems pretty hard to justify
