The TV show, "The Rookie" shows cops arresting a photographer who was:

The woman in question had been receiving notes from someone, not
threatening so one more reason they had no legal right to arrest anyone.

What's "legal" got to do with it?

What makes one a journalist? Can’t anyone just say he is? I would suspect
that at least some rioters have decided they are immune to arrest if they
just use a badge saying “journalist”. How many fake credentials are out
there? On top of that, I’m sure the authorities feel even the legit press
is firing up the crowds. So they’re ****ed.

What about any of that makes their actions legal?

I doubt that a CNN producer, who was part of that group, would have
difficulty proving his legitimacy as a journalist.
