Counter-protestor yelled at me for filming during a free speech rally at UC Berkeley last spring

I was standing 30 feet back with my phone out and a guy grabbed my arm saying I was 'provoking them,' so I just motioned toward the posted ACLU guidelines on my screen and he backed off, has anyone else had trouble just documenting stuff without getting hassled?

Ha! I've been yelled at for filming my own cat before.

Pat_Moore people need to chill. That cat is your property, you can film it whenever you want. Its not like you were aiming the camera into someones window or following them around. If theyre so bothered by a cat video they need to get a life. Public space means you can record whatever you want, including your own animal. These busybodies act like every lens is a crime scene.

Exactly! People just want something to complain about these days.
