wrong. there is no absolute right to film police arrests.And exactly zero of those were applicable here. He was well within his rights to film what he did. The proof? He wasn't charged with anything for filming.
Limitations on Filming the Police
There may be certain limitations to a person’s ability to video record a police officer, even if it is legal to do so in their state. These limitations can include the following:
Laws and regulations regarding filming police officers can vary from state to state and even by municipalities. Hence, it is best to consult with local authorities or a lawyer to know the specific laws that apply in your area.
- Interference with an officer’s duties: Recording a police officer may be restricted if it interferes with their ability to perform their duties. For example, suppose a person’s recording prevents an officer from communicating with others, following through on an arrest, or maintaining safety. In that case, the person may be asked to stop recording or to move to a different location.
- Privacy concerns: Recording a police officer in certain situations, such as inside a private residence, may be restricted if it violates the privacy of others.
- Sensitive locations: Recording may be restricted in certain sensitive locations, such as courtrooms, schools, or hospitals, to protect the rights of others and maintain order.
- Equipment restrictions: Some states or municipalities may have laws or policies restricting the use of certain equipment when recording police officers, such as drones or night vision goggles.
- Harassment: Recording a police officer in a way that constitutes harassment or intimidation may be illegal.

We do know that ICE has a history of profiling that had led to settlements limiting their authority to make these kinds of stops in some jurisdictions

Did the U.S. Marshal not comply with the law when ICE profiled him too? Originally Posted by HDGristle

Mebbe consult a lawyer?

Sorry, Waco. Bad faith on your part.
This was where you introduced the strawman you're looking to derail with now
