I agree with you. Filming evidence of a crime should always be legal. But I will say that posting negative videos of people to social media is considered libel in some countries. There’s a line where freedom of speech ends and harassment begins.
I would say secretly recording a politician as they admit to corruption and sending it to journalists and the police is ok, but filming a politician when you ask them loaded opinion questions and then posting it to social media to dunk on them is not.

Why? That sounds like normal free speech. It’s annoying and intrusive for sure but shouldn’t be illegal.
You can’t pre-empt speech like that. If you do, you’re just enabling censorship and corruption.
