lrn2freedomofthepress has nothing to do with photography.
This is a freedom granted to EVERYONE, not just photographers.Amendment 1 - Freedom of Religion, Press, Expression. Ratified 12/15/1791.
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
The ownership of a camera also does not make someone a member of the press.
So, photographers are exercising their freedom granted in the american constitution to everyone. What's your point? A camera may not make someone a member of the press, but that does not in any way limit the constitutional rights of photographers who are not members of the press.

The point is, there are NO SPECIAL PHOTOGRAPHERS RIGHTS. You only have the same rights and the same responsibilities as every other person.
