It sounds like Villalba has pulled the bill.

I'm a long time lurker, and have learned a lot from this message board. I am usually content to just sit back, watch, and occasionally participate in the calls to action. Until I saw this bill.
I wanted to make sure the community was aware of it. It seems the intent is to make it a crime to film a police officer within 25 feet of him performing his duty. Which, I suppose I don't have MUCH of a problem with. They have a job to do, and folks need to give them room.
HOWEVER, if you are carrying a weapon under the authority of Subchapter H, Chapter 411, Government Code, you must stay back 100 feet. This extra 75 foot "constitution free zone" is highly offensive to me. And I have absolutely NO plans on running around recording the police.

I do have a dash camera in my vehicle. Am I to understand that it is against the law for me to record a police officer within 100 feet of my vehicle? What if I am carrying under Subchapter H (and I ALWAYS carry on my person in my vehicle) and I am pulled over? The way the law is written now it looks like I am committing a crime.

Here is a link to the bill:
