    NO, you can only film if you’ve printed out or written on a piece of paper “PRESS”. This makes you super duper legit and only then are you granted 1st amendment rights. If you don’t have a printer or at least paper and pen, then you’re shit out of luck!

    This is because people need to be able to hide from cameras - this is also why it is ILLEGAL to film someone if they don’t know about it. Why do you think there’s bouncers at every business who make you sign a release form to enter any building? Why do you think people are forced to blur out bystanders when they take pictures at Disney? Why do you think that its ILLEGAL to film celebrities on the street? Check. Mate.

        Honestly the level of confidence and intelligent seeming approach that other guy had, while talking completely out of his ass, is unsettling.

          It’s a common misconception until you’ve dealt with it or sat down and thought about it for a few moments.

            Sure, im aware of how the general public assumes it works (i watch alot of 1a audit videos). But its one thing to be misinformed, its another to speak with authority at length, purely based on your gut feeling.
