The BATFE has filed a legal complaint which, as a basis, claims that ordinary citizens cannot photograph or record public officials in public places doing public things while on official duty. Only “authorized journalists” can do that, and the BATFE claims sole jurisdiction to make that determination when BATFE agents are involved. I am just left wondering at the mentality that causes someone to enter public service then do things they know are unpopular with said public. But the BATFE hasn’t been much for logic and coherence for quite a while.
