no good

I've never had experience with getting permits (I do it guerrilla style baby!), but I find something like that irritating. The reason I go Guerrilla is simply because I don't want to cut through all the red tape to film at a location, when I can just go and shoot. I just hate having to get insurance, permits, talking to the city, etc...

With the world changing the way it is, making everyone from a 2 year old to a grandmother a film maker, I understand the need for new laws and regulations. However, something as clearly defined as that can be misinterpreted by cops easily.

I'd like to say that they probably won't bother student/amature film-makers and tourists, but alas, that's an assumption and hopeful thinking. There will be a lot of problems, as mentioned in the article, if this goes through.

Luckily I live in Montreal, but still.
