It happened in public view. Get over it! I agree. It would be hard to call this assault. The fact that someone objects to what you are doing and finds it stressful does _not_ mean that you are actually assaulting her. If that were not the case, someone who found the demolition of an old building objectionable could accuse the entire demolition crew of assault. Obviously that does not happen. Additionally, in many jurisdictions, members of the press are explicitly given special consideration under law. I'm not a lawyer, and this isn't legal advice. -- Anthony
