    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.

      Please start live streaming your actions in public for us all to watch. You don’t have any abusive exes or family members, I hope. Also I trust you’ve never said anything to irritate right wing fanatics. Maybe if it’s a little more personal, you’d have a little more empathy.

      Also, of note, not all limits are from the law. Peer pressure and private businesses saying “You can’t do that in here” are also tools.

        Not all limits come from the law, that’s correct. But one doesn’t have to listen to peer pressure. And businesses don’t control the public.
