ahhhh...michael, michael, michael. news media has "free reign"...they can go almost anywhere to shoot anybody and put it on the news. the average joe with no credentials can't just shoot and interview people without their consent. some guy walks up "hey i'm doing this for school." next thing you know you're on the internet and being slammed for having an opinion. the actual texas law is intended to protect minors. so if you want to interview people and you are "freelance" you need to have release forms signed. ever see the show "cheaters"...filmed in texas...ever noticed there were people with their faces blurred?
