  New Louisiana Law Serves as a Warning to Bystanders Who Film Police: Stay Away or Face Arrest
  
  from @propublica
  
  Louisiana is the fourth state to enact a so-called police buffer law, which allows officers to order people to keep their distance. Journalists say the law will make it harder to document when police use excessive force.

  @ProPublica Does this mean if a police officer first orders you back and then decides detain you, you are legally required to run away in order to keep that 25 ft distance?
