And i bet they were brainlessly arrested by the corporate/political enforcement thugs. Police could really make a name for themselves by enforcing just laws/knowing the law fully/ and acting on their conscience but those words mix as well as oil and water, whoever arrested them should have known damn well its not illegal to film in public because you have no reasonable expectation of privacy. Public meeting is no different.
