> There's no justification for these anti-filming laws other than allowing police to abuse the public. There is, and it’s been stated in simple terms multiple times in these comments, as well as the justification for the law. You saying otherwise doesn’t make it untrue that filming police from too close is dangerous and obstructing. You’re simply talking about a subject you know nothing about either great confidence and guts. |

Yet not in yours. What makes "these comments" a better source on what these laws are for than the laws themselves?
The laws are explicitly about stopping people from filming police. They don't make it illegal to obstruct the police. Laws preventing obstruction of police already exited before these new laws. Police already had, and continue to have, the power to order people to move back or disperse due to concerns over officer or public safety.
These new laws don't change those existing laws. All these new laws do is criminalize filming police.
