As someone else mentioned in the thread, TV should use their considerable influence to advocate for modifying the laws for the good of all vs using it to try and find the pocket depth of a few independent journalists to chill their activities.

We all grew up in a world where cameras were novelties and video equipment, almost non-existent. Both of which, were reasonably obvious when in use.
For the last 20+ years, we've lived in a world where everyone is carrying a an audio/visual recording device. Any time we're in "public", we have to be aware that we might be photographed or video'd.
Since drone technology became prevalent, we now have to be aware that we could be video'd at anytime, whether in a "public" place, or (what was formerly) a "private" place.
Why are people focused on protecting the rights of the surveillant and not protecting the rights of the subject of the surveillance?
