Bystander cellphone videos are largely credited with revealing police misconduct — such as with the 2020 killing of George Floyd at the hands of Minneapolis officers — and reshaping the conversation around police transparency.
I mean, the dude was already overdosing from the fent he swallowed. He "ate too many drugs".
One could argue the mini-mob standing there harassing the cops could have prevented then getting up and giving him Narcan.
Without that little mini-mob, the worthless POS might have survived to do more crimes, but then the progs wouldn't have had their battle cry to burn and loot.

Section 1. R.S. 14:109 is hereby enacted to read as follows:
§109. Approaching a peace officer lawfully engaged in law enforcement duties
A. No person shall knowingly or intentionally approach within twenty-five
feet of a peace officer who is lawfully engaged in the execution of his official duties
after the peace officer has ordered the person to stop approaching or to retreat.
B. For the purposes of this Section, "peace officer" shall include allindividuals as defined in R.S. 14:112.4(B)(2) and R.S. 40:2402(3).
C. It shall be an affirmative defense to this crime if the defendant can
establish that the lawful order or command was neither received nor understood bythe defendant nor capable of being received or understood under the conditions and circumstances that existed at the time of the issuance of the order
even worse when you read
how the hell are you supposed to film a cop in the french quarter?

They'll be tied up doing little but that, and not dealing with actual crime. Thats the point.

Sure. Officer is wrestling a suspect into custody. Person #2 comes running up with his cell phone out, but officers can't do anything about it because the person is "filming". Come to find out, cell phone boy is the suspects brother and now has the officer in a rear naked choke.

Cop sees you looking thru your apartment window at something going on in the parking lot 10 feet away, are you in violation?
Police have already done all of this in vehicles, regarding traffic stops all to search your vehicle and/or get you in the system.
Sounds like they are trying to expand their proactive policing to the sidewalks.

Their cowardice increases on a daily basis.

I’m 100 percent behind filming cops and they should be severely and potentially criminally prosecuted if they obstructions rights to film but…
25 ft is reasonable in my opinion to record. The issue and why I’m against the law is that it will be abused and arbitrarily enforced

Louisiana voters wanted a one party ruled state and now they have it. Now you have a governor who wants to clamp down on anything that can hurt his administration. You have a subservient legislature that will pass anything he wants, you asked for it and now you have it.

Now do 25ft in a person's home. How it that going to work out?

Unfortunately, Florida passed a similar law with the 25' rule...
I can see the so-called "auditors" having fun with this....

One party rule is not the problem. States like Texas and Florida have one party rule and are doing just fine.
The problem is Louisiana's bozo cajun governor whose only focus is superficial conservative "red meat" social issues with ZERO desire to improve one of if not the worst economies in the nation.

At first I thought law is not necessary, but then I watched the liberty lagoon footage. Cops were arresting someone and several people got right up on them and were at minimum verbally abusing officers. Being right up on the cops I think unecessarily escalated the situation. Yeah stand 25 feet back and film or curse the cops isn’t unreasonable. You probably gonna get tased otherwise.
Step towards non escalation of an already tense situation

About to be loads of these arrest.

This administration and the sycophantic legislature sure do seem to enjoy taking a piss on the Constitution.
So this is likely a complete waste of time and resources just so Landry can say he's tough on crime without actually doing anything substantive.
quote:
In 2022, lawmakers in Arizona passed a law that would have made it illegal to knowingly film police officers 8 feet (2.5 meters) or closer if the officer tells the person to stop. A coalition of media groups and the American Civil Liberties Union successfully sued to block Arizona's law, with a federal judge ruling it unconstitutional, citing infringement against a clearly established right to film police doing their jobs.
In similar cases, half of the U.S. appeals courts across the nation have ruled on the side of allowing people to record police without restriction.
So this is likely a complete waste of time and resources just so Landry can say he's tough on crime without actually doing anything substantive.

I despise the videoing of everything these days. Too bad it all isn’t illegal. Certain folks whip out their phones for everything. None of it should be admissible.

Choking an officer is already illegal. How does this bullshite law prevent that?
