So hypothetically, if one is being illegally beaten by a person who happens to be an on-duty police officer, all the victim has to do to achieve justice is turn on their camera to record the incident to gather evidence. Bystanders can feel good that they’re ignoring the incident and carrying on with their days, as they know that it’s the victim’s responsibility to record their own beating.

... or record from 10 feet away.

10 feet away from what, exactly? A ‘law enforcement activity’? Is that area defined in a meaningful way?

What if a bystander records 10 feet away, but a second person stands in between and records 5 feet away? Has the area of law enforcement activity expanded to include the first bystander because of the second bystander is breaking a law?

I guess bystanders who didn’t bring their tape measure can just run the risk of recording and let the courts shake it out, right?
