What you need to remember is that traditionally TV and moviemaking has
meant big budgets. Many big cities in the USA (where lots of such things
are shot), long ago decided to cash in on these lucrative activities.

In such places (which (AFAIK) include LA, NY, and Chicago, for example)
you need to pay up front for a permit to shoot, and will be nabbed if
spotted doing something that looks like pro filmmaking without a
permit.

In these cases, looking like a dumb tourist is actually an advantage
:)

On the other hand, many small towns and the more out-of-the way places
are often happy for the publicity, and you might even get support if you
approach the right people in the right way.
