Holy crap!
Trying for teachers is law, Now get ready to buy tons of throwing stars too.
I have a feeling that the courts are going to end up intervening regarding what constitutes a "reasonable" distance for LEO to perform their duties without interference. A distance of 25 feet isn't terrible. It errs on the side of preventing interference. But why would 15 feet - or 10 feet - not be reasonable?Not sure we discussed this one:
I can see it, 25 feet keeps bystanders out of the crime scene but allows for it to be witnessed. Unless you're carrying a Polaroid SX-70 25 feet is well within camera range.
Senator Obtuse has problems with it, of course he does.
Police can order bystanders to stay 25 feet away under new Indiana law

Pretty much ANY law wouldn't be necessary if people were reasonable.I have a feeling that the courts are going to end up intervening regarding what constitutes a "reasonable" distance for LEO to perform their duties without interference.

Granted, laws wouldn't be needed to codify such specifics if a) (some) people didn't try to interfere with LEO performing their duties, and b) (some) LEO didn't try to avoid transparency/accountability in the performance of their duties.

If he hit a some sort of "white supremacist" statue or something, he might be celebrated.A charge of leaving the scene of an accident may be a lot tougher to explain.
