Blocking Photojournalists Physically and Virtually

A lot has been written about Texas Representative Jason Villalba’s proposed state legislation that would make it a crime to photograph or video record a police office from within 25 feet of them. But it’s risen to a new level of silliness as a photojournalism student asked him a question via Twitter and the response was to block her.

Transparency and accountability are two of the foundation stones of our government, Rep. Villalba.
