I was just harassed recently also by a Sheriff's department for filming an event outside of YELLOW TAPE and told to leave while others in public were standing there with their cell phone cameras taking pictures. But with a large SONY PRO CAM I'm always singled out in the crowd.
There is a transition going on right now in this nation and it's a transition toward a total POLICE STATE. It's just a matter of time and what's really weird is the majority of people are ok with it.
