Not that I know of. But if you obscure the other people there’s nothing they can do.
Either way, these guys travel the country doing this. Trying to elicit that exact response they got from this detective. They will now get paid.
It’s no different than the guys that walk around with rifles strapped to their backs and chests. They’ve studied these laws inside and out and know exactly what they can get away with
Are they idiots, jerks, morons, and dunbasses? YUP. 100%.
But the law is on their side. Nothing you can do about it.
“Are they idiots, jerks, morons, and dunbasses? YUP. 100%.”
I disagree. They’re exercising a fundamental right just as you and I exercise a fundamental right on Free Republic. And the same cops who would arrest them for photography are these days also arresting people for what they post on forums like FR.
The guys who walk around with rifles on their backs are acting to secure a right that we should have never given up. God bless them for doing this because they’re getting our rights back without needing to go to war.
And a pox on every last cop who harasses people who open carry even when it’s perfectly legal to do so.
If something's not a violation, there's nothing to "get away with".
Photography from public is legal unless otherwise restricted like in a courtroom.
Constitutional rights restrict government not the people.
Too many LEO don’t know what constitutes Constitutional rights.
Educating LEO on Constitutional rights is a good thing.
