New Louisiana law will criminalize approaching police under certain circumstances
Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry has signed legislation making it a crime to knowingly approach within 25 feet of a police officer while they are “engaged in law enforcement duties” after the officer has ordered the person to stay back.
you want to know why people say 'fuck the police'. this is why.
its completely open ended. you could be 2 blocks away filming with a telephoto lens and be guilty if a cop spots you.
this is a danger extension of authority for people who have already proven they cant handle their current responsibilities.
The law is bad and unnecessary but I don't see where you're getting the filming two blocks away part? It's within 25 feet after being ordered back.
tell it to the judge. im sure you can work something out with my pal the da
We need to criminalise the proximity of congressman around microphones.
Y'know, I for one think cops should be able to beat people to death for basically no infraction, so increasing their abilities to do so is a win in my book.
Fuck Louisiana. Fuck cops.
