There would be more questions as to how a film is distributed than the simple filming. Stopping a car takes PC, walking up to someone on the street does not. You simply walk away [otherwise police will argue it was consentual] and then if stopped, PC [lack of] is frozen to that moment and you win in court. This issue touches 1st Amendment so standing is easier to show than in non 1st Amendment cases. Carl Starr
