Rep. Jason Villalba (TP-Dallas) has introduced House Bill 2918 which creates a Class B Misdemeanor offense for private citizens who record, video or photograph police within 25 feet of the officers.  If you are armed, you would not be able to record or photograph within 100 feet of an officer.  The bill also creates a defense for a person working for a radio or television station that holds a license issued by the Federal Communications Commission, as well as certain newspaper and magazine reporters
