This is how they plan to outlaw videography of police actions. Classify filming as annoying.
Bingo!
Yep, that’s it: A cop grabs your camera—after he’s shot your Chihuahua—and you’ve committed aggravated annoyance, a felony.
You disrespected and/or harassed him or acted in a way that led to a situation that could result in injuries, most likely yours.
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.
