loitering
I know I’m just being dim about this, but I’ve never been able to understand the "no loitering" stuff w/r/t film / tv crews. Is there really a law? Or is this the usual NYPD bullshit, where they threaten under just about any circumstances, to "hold you for 24 hours without charge. We can do that, asshole."
What a great situationist law it would be to render it legal to loiter wherever you like during filmings of any sort. Make it illegal for crews to intimidate pedestrians etc. I guarantee the result would be better movies / tv shows. In fact, this might be my first quasi-answer to the question that I posed here.

If you can’t make it to the theater (maybe you’re like me, maybe you have a kid and insufficient babysitting, or maybe you don’t have the cash for the movie, or maybe you live in a part of the world where you can’t see it) and you really want to get the full picture of what’s going on with this Sicko movie, I highly recommend this site. It has helped me to appreciate what a terrific effort this is on MM’s part…
