[QUOTE="Don Kuykendall_RIP, post: 432379, member: 6277"] I think they are more concerned about people with cell phones. 25 feet with a cell phone is a pretty hard distance to get much detail. With my 70-300 or even my 18-140 25 feet it is not a problem at all. Most of the on-the-street photos we see of cops in action are shot with bad cell phone cameras. Do I have a problem with this law being passed? The part about legal concealed carry permit holders having to stay back 100 feet? Yes. The camera part I am not so sure. I think these photos have uncovered some very bad cops so I think a good cop should never have a problem with a citizen videoing them doing their job. BUT the citizen should never get so close as to interfere with the cop doing his job safely. If you are asked to back up to give them room to move then you should. 25 feet? Not so sure that is necessary. But again, I am on the fence about this one. Giving up (taking away) any rights is a dangerous path to start going down. [/QUOTE]
