Just another example of how the police get confused about >their mission: They are supposed to protect the public, >but in recent years have begun to see their mission as >controlling the public. Perhaps someone with more recent experience with Media Law could comment.....but when I took Media Law as part of my Journalism school studies we discussed how one had the right to take photos at the scene of an accident/news event on private property untill the property owners asked you to leave....sounds like these people who were on their own property were well with in these rights, not to mention a little thing like, say, the first ammendment.
