Maybe it will embolden some officers, but if you’re 8 feet away and they walk up on you then you’re no longer a bystander. Thus according to this law you can film.

Edit: I agree though the filming itself isn’t the problem; it’s the being too close to an active scene. Therefore I argue the police should never have the right to order/ask you to stop recording too close to a scene only the right to order/ask you to move 8 feet away from said scene. Also for the record 8 feet is only 3 steps, so again I think that part is very reasonable.
