Isn't a 30-foot rule dividing the press from the public Unconstitutional?
CBS cameraman Glenn McReynolds had a legitimate question: Why is the public allowed inside the federal courthouse when the media is barred?
Security guards told him something about a “30-foot rule” that is meant to separate reporters from people leaving the building.
When that didn’t make sense to him, three Protective Services officers arrived and placed him in handcuffs before walking him to a van outside and citing him for failing to obey a lawful order.
KCNC-CBS4 plans to fight the charge.

At least this guy has some corporate resources behind him-and a forum to go after the cops.
The main stream media are usually a bunch of bootlickers, and will throw Glenn under the bus to maintain their access and privilege to the Matrix.
Hopefully this will be a “because we said so” regulation that can be slapped away in court.
McReynolds wasn’t charged with violating the “thirty foot rule,” of course. It will be very interesting to learn from the judge (or DA) whether the cop who cited the rule actually gave a lawful order.
If there’s not really a law, doesn’t that make this a false arrest? Or can cops just make up rules willy-nilly and enforce them?
I don’t think so, and I hope the news org follows through with a lawsuit, rather than just accepting an apology from the chief.
During a street protest in NYC, about five or six years ago, undercover police harassed a photographer for one of the city’s papers, to the point where they grabbed her expensive DSLR and smashed it on the ground.
The incident was caught on video. I looked just now for the clip, but it’s not coming up. It was blatant.
Still no clip, but in the meantime, some riot porn: the NYPD out-and-out stealing a videographer’s camera during a political protest-

Out of three cops involved, two face no charges, and one got a recommendation for disciplinary action from the Civilian Complaint Review Board.
Here’s the videographer reading the investigation results from the CCRB-

Power corrupts. Every time a cop breaks the law, the thin blue line gets a little grayer.
Nothing new, I have been putting up with this crap sense 1957. It goes back to the very start of photography when photography was thought to be an black art and photographers in league with the devil, many churches would not allow a photographer to be a member or even tho enter. Why do you thing Weege ( Arther Feleige) gave so many prints to police men?
