I know here in America we have the right to photograph police and other government workers/public servants in public places. However, there are people that push this, and in my opinion, misuse the right potentially causing risk for all involved. This 25 foot buffer does not sound like a bad idea to me. It allows the police to be able to do their job and keeps you the photographer far enough away to keep you reasonably out of harms way. And even with all but the widest of lenses, 25 feet is still right up on top of things to record what is happening.
I feel that this is a reasonable expectation and all the way around clarifies boundaries between intrusion by the public and the public's rights.
Thoughts?
