Funny how the police act like they're the ones being threatened, when they are usually the ones who walk right up to people that are standing a distance away and start getting aggressive. Their behavior suggests that even MORE people need to be recording because obviously the safety of innocent civilians is at stake.

They can sugma balls too, I'll record whatever the fuck I want in public.

Yeah feels like a pretty clear violation of rights to not allow people to film police but given it’s the Supreme Court that would ultimately decide that not sure how confident I am they’d see it the same way.

There already a law about staying away or facing arrest. It's called interference. This is just because they're extra scared of consequences for their criminal behavior.

If you see something, film something. Film the police.
