An Indiana Senate panel has approved a bill that would make it a crime to take photographs or shoot footage at Indiana’s farms and businesses without the owner’s permission. It now moves to the full Senate for consideration. Republican state Sen. Travis Holdman says that the bill targets what he calls “vigilantes” who enter private property with the sole intent of obtaining undercover photos or videos. Opponents say that the bill would take away whistle blower protections related to the country’s food supply and it would hamper those that in the past have helped to uncover animal abuse and other illegal activities.
