Someone shared this on Facebook, and I don't understand it at all. Can someone explain what is happening here? This doesn't seem quite right. Any lawyers willing to weigh in on this?

At very least the officer asking people at the end if they had a permit for the videos was clearly in wrong.
"As long as the photographing or recording takes place in a setting at which the individual has a legal right to be present and does not interfere with a member’s safety, members
shall not inform or instruct people that photographing or recording of police officers, police activity or individuals who are the subject of police action (such as a Terry stop or an arrest) is not allowed; requires a permit; or requires the member’s consent..."

D.C. Police rules on recording officers
D.C. Police Chief Cathy L. Lanier issued a directive in 2012 advising officers that citizens could record police officers performing their duties in public as long as they don't interfere.

I actually looked into this and it, apparently, is illegal to dance at national monuments.
A woman in 2008 was arrested at the Jefferson Memorial for silently dancing alone on Jefferson's birthday to celebrate it. She sued claiming a violation of 1st amendment rights and the court ruled that dancing could atttact a crowd that would "detract from the solemn atmosphere" of the memorial.

Seems like another cop with little man's complex.
Imagine if you gave the biggest loser you knew in HS the power to do shit like this to folks, that's basically the state of a lot of PDs now.

Looks like the officer is using a very loose definition of 'protesting' in order to pick at people doing something that he doesn't like. Pretty typical.
