A new #law goes into effect today in #Louisiana that will make it a misdemeanor for anyone, including #journalists, to be within 25 feet of a police officer if the officer orders them back.
Louisiana is the 4th state to enact one of these so-called #police "buffer laws," which allow officers to order people to keep their distance.
