Photographing lawful protesters is pretty objectionable.

Yeah, it rates right up there with not sorting your recyclables.

There oughta be a law...

If they didn't want anyone photographing them, why did they stage their protest out on a public street?

If they wanted privacy they should have held their protest in their mom's basement.

I don't think protesters can claim an expectation of privacy while banging pots and pans and yelling what some people might consider objectionable words, on a public throughway.

I'd like to assume that all of you are intelligent. If you truly care about the future of our country, you are a reasonably smart person, no matter what.
In reading this article, I can't help but notice how incredibly vague it is. This isn't at all what happened. I would know because I have interviewed all of the arrested individuals as well as witnesses (don't worry, I made sure they weren't dirty hippies before I asked what they saw) who were all uninvolved. None of the arrested are members of "world can't wait" and none of them are hippies.
They're college students. They got pissed when someone was walking around video taping license tags and looking in cars. When they approached, the individual refused to acknowledge them. Once he physically moved Kenneth Harris with a body check (assault), things got out of hand. Listen for yourself,

I know it's Liberal Media, but it's just an interview with Kenneth Harris. It's important not to jump to conclusions like I see on this page just because there are Liberals involved. I used to think just like you...I'm a registered republican...until I was placed under surveillance and my privacy was invaded because I downloaded a copy of the Patriot Act and a copy of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act for an editorial I was writing. I'm no liberal...I never will be. But I thought we spent half a century fighting off communism so we could preserve a world that is free of governments that spy on its own people without warrant or assault people without reasonable provocation. This strong central government is NOT what republicans founded this party for.
