New Louisiana law criminalizes approaching police after being ordered to stay back
Fox News
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.
While the legislation's language does not specifically mention filming, critics say that by default it would limit how close a person can be to observe police. Opponents have also gone further to question the law's constitutionality, saying it could impede on a person's First Amendment rights.
