Certainly at an active scene, failing to comply with law enforcement directives to back up and give officers room to do their job should continue to have criminal consequences. But requiring FCC licenses to record audio or video is a clear fist amendment intrusion.
Honest citizens (including public servants) should have no problem with their public activities being recorded for more full review according to established Constitutional and republican processes. If it is reasonable for citizens to be subject to surveillance and security cameras any time we are in public (and it is), then it is reasonable for public servants to also be subject to the same any time they are in public.
