It really just adds teeth to an existing law of interfering.

It does not prohibit recording. It only prohibits people closing in on officers. It is only 25 feet so less than 10 yards.

We routinely push people back at least that far anyway whether recording or not. With the new craze of videoing everything, people are getting within arms reach of the police and everyone else and shoving cameras in their faces. That makes for a dangerous situation for the police trying to conduct business.

The title to the article doesn't quite explain it that well. How strange.

Typical. Put cameras on every policeman and this wouldn't even be an issue.

2013 Statistics

 

14,196 murders

79,770 rapes

 

During 2013, there were an estimated 11,302,102 arrests.......

 

Yet the media and some people want to focus on a few POSSIBLE bad cops.

 

That is a good statement for how screwed up the mind set of this country is.

I'm not saying cops are bad. Obviously the majority are decent people

That really was not directed at you, but at the attitude of all the police attention the last couple years.

Being able to videotape keeps everybody honest...

Being able to videotape keeps everybody honest...

 

Which has very little or nothing to do with this proposed law.

Yes, the title seems completely bogus and is meant to skew the law's intent. Sensationalism at its finest.

 

Hard to believe, right?
