In this case, there's no way for us to tell one way or the other as to how close the photographer was, or if he was given reasonable directions. He isn't quoted in the story at all, just his boss. I'll withhold judgment on this one. While I agree that the general rule should be as you state, if the police ask you to step back, you probably should, if the request is reasonable.

Their rule is "the line you can't cross is wherever the hell i say it is" we've seen that a lot in the past few years, haven't we? oh carlos, it’s obvious.
