Hell of a stretch to get from freedom of speech and press to your right
to photograph any damned thing you want.


Freedom of the press has been interpreted to allow news photographers to
intrude on the privacy of any person who is 'in the public eye', so I
guess it does. Frankly, a press card shouldn't give one a right to
visually trespass, in my opinion.
