It’ll be interesting to see how this turns out.

Is a journalist someone who prints out a press badge? Can YouTubers with mics go out there and shadow people who’re going to commit crime?

If you witness a crime in progress and record it presumably that’s okay. If you know a crime is going to be committed in advance and you record it but don’t get involved in the crime, are you an accessory of some sort?

Like if you know your friends are going to snatch purses at ATMs but you’re not part of it and only film it to uploads to YouTube, are you in trouble?

Because he was previously a newscaster of a reputable organization, he’ll likely get more leeway and likely will face light if any penalties.
