[Peace] Traffic Issues

So, let me get this straight. Channel 3 sent a cameraman out who threaded,
weaved, and bobbed his way through traffic and precariously walked a thin
slice of concrete medium as cars rushed by him so that he could do a story
about how we were being watched by a police officer because we
intermittently step into the street to hand out a flyer to a car who has
requested it.

And while he captures us from the middle of the road for this story, the
officer keeps his eye on us from behind ominous darkened windows to make
sure we do not step off of the curb. Meanwhile, someone else gingerly
winds her way down our 3-foot-wide slice of public space so that she can
get some footage of us. However, she is (1) foreign, (2) a fellow
protester and (3) carries a smaller camera, so beware!

Am I missing something or is this crazy!?
