With that, wouldnt you just want to ban any people from being around someone being arrested. There could be an arrest, and a group of people watching, without filming, and one of them shoots the cop. Any scenario where someone is being arrested and there is one more bystander than officer presents that possibility.
Plus, I dont think cop killers are trying to pretend like they are filming, to throw the cops off, then shoot them. That takes a lot of planning.
Since I discovered that Jonty30 is not an actual thinking person, but a gibberish-generating automaton, life has gotten much less stressful.
I still believe the cops have a right to take necessary precautions to ensure arrests don’t get complicated.
