If I might again provide some friendly unsolicited advice, if you can't point to a law that say somebody can't do something, you are far better off not telling them they can't. You don't need to be a constitutional scholar to follow that road.
In very practical terms, someone video taping an incident is likely your friend if what you are doing is the right thing. You know what I mean.
I've said basically the same on other forums but I believe it so I'll say it again: if what you are doing is something you genuinely, honestly believe is the right thing, it likely is and you can always hold your head up and there will always be plenty who are proud of you.
Stopping someone from video taping things that occur in public -- is that something anyone believes is wrong? or right? Who really gives a shit? Let them do it (unless you can point to a law that says they can't -- which you won't be able to, at least not clearly).
