The "beauty" of the vagueness is that it leaves everything completely open to "interpretation" rather than the specific "Simon says" of laws in the past. The way I read it though, it's more like LA's "tripod tax" wherein if you're going handheld, no problem but plant a set of sticks and you're open to questioning. Then again, its vagueness also seems to allow police to question anyone with a camera based on the lack of specifics as reported. Seems pretty clear though that if you come off like an out of towner, it'll be a subway-style "ID check" and "move along."Reminds me of covering a student riot in New Paltz decades ago, told the cops "working press" flashing my sheriff's press card and they told me, "go work your press on the other side of the street" along with "your mother eats bacon, boy." Ah ... the thrills of professional videography and sound recording even when you *do* have the proper paperwork! :) |
