Filming Cops For Scared People
If you are in a public space and "a safe distance away" and "not getting in the way" you are following all of the laws when filming openly.
Shockingly even if you are clearly doing all of these things a police officer may react as if you aren't. Be ready for that reaction.
The more people do this the more video there will be so the truth gets out to the public. But, even if the video isn't important it sends a message about your community and expectations.

The more videos there are from more angles, the harder it gets for anyone to fake a video as it would have to match up with the rest 100%.
Due to various ways of faking things, it's more important than ever to have multiple angles in order to preserve the truth.
It is really hard to fake something when there are multiple other genuine angles of the same event.
