It would be illegal to photograph or videotape acts of violence. Discuss.

Defining "professional journalists" would be pretty tough.

Anyone able to film a conflict is clearly using his hands to hold the camera, thus, they aren't surrendering. This goes against the very nature of French law, making it illegal.
Makes sense to me.

Makes complete sense when you put it that way...
