Public Protest

I believe as long as people aren’t hurting anybody they should be able to record public events.  I don’t see why that would be a problem.  If it’s not causing any problems, then individuals should be able to do it, but if it does lead to an unnecessary problem they should not.  I think the recent crackdown government has had on all these public protests is partially due to safety issues.  I think they don’t want the people involved to end up hurt.  I also think they don’t want people to cause a scene and catch people’s attention.  The government doesn’t want those who believe the government is doing a bad job to convince others of the same thing.  If this happens, they are more likely to be voted out of government or people might end up retaliating against the government.
