So you can get to work? There was no damn traffic...Look at the street...lol
This guy using the f-work multiple times, makes him no better than a typical gangster cockroach.
Where does he get the authority telling these people their 1st Amend rights can be terminated at any time?
here ya' go, I knew someone would parachute in to talk about traffic.
There was no traffic, as your comment indicated.

A journalist can be anywhere any other citizen can be. His or her status as a journalist does not give him or her any rights to be anywhere other members of the public cannot be, nor can the State deny him or her to be anywhere the public can be.
Once their right to be in a certain place has been established, as I believe it was in this case, they can observe, record, photograph, report on, etc. anything they can see from that place, but they can't create a hazard, block the sidewalk, etc.
There are certain exceptions under civil law. For example, sitting in the window of a tall building does not give the media the right to use a 100x lens to obtain and then publish (publish is the operative word here) video of a couple in their bedroom a mile away. It becomes an expectation of privacy issue. That is, however a civil matter.
I was once arrested by local police in Massachusetts as we stood on in a public park and videoed a car accident where the driver of one of the cars was a drunk cop.
When I send the city's legal office an information copy of suit I was ready to file for myself, the videographer, the audio girl and the field producer, the stupid arresting cop, (friend of the drunk driving cop,) got a month's suspension.
He then was fired 18 moths later for being drunk on duty.
PS, ignore rudeboy. He's just a troll here to break everyone's chops. I have him zotblocked on my FR.
