It’s extremely difficult to draw a line, though. To determine where to draw that line. Freedom of the press is important, don’t you agree? Well, what do we consider legitimate journalistic purposes? I do not think the government should draw a line at all on this. Filming could be part of a journalistic effort. Or not. The government can’t determine that. And until there’s a foolproof way to filter out ‘bad actor’ filming and ‘good’ filming, it will be very much slippery slope territory to impose any restrictions on filming in public whatsoever.
