Fing stupid militant peace officers, never ending supply of them. Then they wonder why nobody gets weepy when someone says enough already. Then their bosses and the media have to come up with some big bs story to cover up the real reason why.

It is a long-established First Amendment right that you may film anything you want while you are standing wherever the public is invited, with rare exceptions concerning national security.

You can even film activities on private property, as long as you are in a public area.

Note that "public area" includes some private property. For example, you can film in a shopping mall open to the public. There, they may only escort you from the premises, but may not stop you from filming.

Yes, Epscadets, a shopping mall IS private property.

Still, that does not change what I said about filming or photographing there. The mall owner's only recourse to you filming is to have you removed from the mall, and perhaps prevent you from coming back. But you can film or photograph even while you are being escorted off, and they have no right to seize your film/photos.
