you want to know why people say 'fuck the police'. this is why.

its completely open ended. you could be 2 blocks away filming with a telephoto lens and be guilty if a cop spots you.

this is a danger extension of authority for people who have already proven they cant handle their current responsibilities.

The law is bad and unnecessary but I don't see where you're getting the filming two blocks away part? It's within 25 feet after being ordered back.

We need to criminalise the proximity of congressman around microphones.

Y'know, I for one think cops should be able to beat people to death for basically no infraction, so increasing their abilities to do so is a win in my book.

Fuck Louisiana. Fuck cops.
