Yup. The law shouldn't be based on proximity to an officer, but instead proximity to a crime scene or legally detained individual, and those should be specifically defined. You should always be able to film as close to an officer as you choose, provided you're not interfering in any real way with their investigation.
Or there should be a law restricting filming police at all.
