The reporter here knows this, but reporter in LA and California in general *are* exempt from dispersal orders. But LA cops routinely lie and say they aren't. They routinely beat and arrest reporters. So much so that there's a court injunction against it -- and LA city is fighting the injunction.
1/31: Narrowly avoided being arrested when LAPD officers kettled a small group of protesters, legal observers, and press. I ID'd myself as a journalist & tried to leave but an officer claimed I wasn't exempt from dispersal orders & said I would be detained. Luckily another officer let me leave.

A Minnesota woman observing ICE agents in her car was cornered on one-way streets. An agent approached, called her by name—citing facial recognition. Days later, her Global Entry and TSA privileges were revoked, with no explanation.
