Man chases me down public right-of-way, forbids me from being on public sidewalk, then tries to stop me from taping him! At a Republican presidential debate! How do you think that went?

Oh yeah, you've successfully challenged the jack-booted thugs of law enforcement here. You must be very proud. You're disappointment at not having incited a more vigorous answer to your baiting is matched by my own in not seeing your camera begin a reverse journey up your alimentary canal.
I upped my income, up yours.
I've often wondered if bouncers outside of nightclubs have any right to push you about when you are standing on public property (I live in the UK). To be fair they were being very polite about it and I think manners are worth something. I wonder what the law is on taping. What is it you were trying to accomplish here?
The poor kid was just trying to do his job. Obviously an untrained volunteer, he was hardly acting like a "dictator".

That poor kid has obvious bossing potential though. I'd like to work for him.Quote by: Zeebadee

Everyone, learn from the example of the democratic college student lending a helping hand to the Republicans and try not to flame this person no matter how badly you may want to.
The more you complain, the less I care about your problems.
This video was taken by you?
Well, first you were not "chased" anywhere. You were approached. The volunteer did not "forbid" you from standing on a public sidewalk or taping--he requested that you move and stop filming. There was no force involved, no intimidation. He went to a police officer to get advice and afterwards let you do your thing without incident.
You were within you constitutional rights to be on a public sidewalk and film. Is that the debate you're trying to start here, or do you seek validation for goading a young volunteer and then making a tacky, amateurish video about the encounter?
It was a dick/hilarious thing to do, but I think it was legal.
Get Permission Before Shooting Your Camera - Lawyers.comVideotaping and Photography Laws
Photographing or videotaping a person without their knowledge or consent may open you up to a lawsuit for invasion of privacy. It's a tort or civil wrong. Generally it means the intentional intrusion into the private life or affairs of another person. If you violate someone's right to privacy and cause injury, that person is entitled to sue you to recover damages.
On top of that, your videotaping or photography may be a criminal offense. It's a good idea to talk to an attorney about the laws in your area that may limit or restrict your ability to videotape or photograph people, places or things.
Public Places are Fair Game, Almost
Generally, it's perfectly legal to videotape or photograph any person and anything while on public property, except:
•You can't take pictures of areas that are usually considered private such as bedrooms, bathrooms, changing rooms, locker rooms, hotel rooms and so on
•Certain public places have banned the use of cameras such as mass transit systems, courthouses, capital buildings, secured government buildings, jails or prisons unless you obtain written permission
•You can't film or photograph if it interferes with police, fire, medical or emergency operations
