I don’t think this:

“HE OR SHE STRIKES, SHOVES, KICKS OR OTHERWISE SUBJECTS SUCH PERSON TO PHYSICAL CONTACT.”

Applies to filming.

But it could say, if the officer got up close to the videographer and physical contact was made -somehow. And just like that, a class E felony.

Sounds to me it gives officers cover to initiate contact in order to have grounds for arresting an otherwise law-abiding person.

Next up whistles. When they blow the whistle you must drop to the ground and remain in the prone position until the all clear is given.

It’s the camel’s nose. Once the law is on the books all you need is a judge to create the precedent that filming is interfering is hindering is physical contact and now videoing is illegal.
