I know that we have been reporting many anti photography laws lately. It’s a drag. But sometimes, the law makers surprise us and actually work towards making the world a better place for photographers.. This new Colorado law is called “Stop Police Interference Cop Incident Recordings”. The summary of the proposed bill stated: “The bill creates a private [...]
