I am a big promoter of press freedom since I once considered that as a career, but legally if the police ask you to stop filming, you need to do so.
The time to address the issue is later.
At that time, you need to comply. And in this case, I think the police have a point. The hostage taker could be watching news on the inside and know exactly when and where he will be attacked from.
Yep. BTW, this is the third time in the thread I’ve had to say “oops, I was wrong” about what I said...
