There seems to be alot of discussion about giving the police your storage media.
Hope this clears some of the confusion.
As a photographer I always keep my attorney’s card in my wallet and I have his office, cell and home phone numbers programmed on my cell phone.

The only evidence the police keep is the evidence that the DA can use against you.
The fine line is that they can call anything at any time an investigation
and you can be arrested. Best not to be seen taking video.

Time to read it again:
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

Unfortunately from what I understand, The opposite is true in the U.K. (And for some reason the statist want to be “more like the U.K.”) (which is of course rubbish.)

That PDF is vague. I'm not an attorney but I know it would
be stupid to argue with an officer. The best policy is keep moving and keep distance.

Then again, seeing as how the police had just shot an unarmed man dead, maybe you don’t want to be victim number 2. Cops can make your life hell, put you in jail, and still take the camera as “evidence” and you’ll be no better off.

Some suggest you upload the pix to a server and delete the local copy before you can be approached by an occifer.

I’ve had neighbors on my street ask me why I was carrying a camera around (like I was carrying a shotgun or something) and when I said “I like taking pictures” they said “some folks might not like that,” as if to say “I don’t like that.”

As a full time, professional freelance photographer I can attest to the fact that carrying a camera in many instances is only slightly less annoying to some people than carrying a gun. I think a lot has to do with how those around the camera-toting photographer view authority. Those who are bothered by authority will not like it while those who have no problem with authority will probably just let it go.
I have had a couple of run-in’s with people and know it's really pissing into the wind to try and educate them as to the shooter's right to make photos in most situations in public. It's especially difficult to educate them when you're shooting breaking news of a violent event such as a shooting or auto accident.
I was taking pictures of my granddaughter at a local eating place and the people in a booth to tables away had the waitress tell me to stop, it bothered them. Go figure.

Could be that some folks have seen “authorities” and newsies run amok too often. Might be a good idea when doing more than taking snapshots with a handheld camera at a scene that isn’t an emergency, to announce your purpose to the others present.
