Sure attacking a cop is already illegal. But you’re suggesting a cop, in the process of arresting someone, should allow someone to stand 1ft away from them as long as the purpose is to record them?

Yes, cops already have leeway to maintain a safe distance between themselves and spectators, but as others have said, this just puts an exact number on a fuzzy limit the courts have already supported.
