Seems like you're making a huge assumption that people don't get upset will cell phone recording. If someone is creep recording with their phone or just randomly pointing it at people for extended periods, those people are going to have an emotional reaction to it. Obnoxious assholes are assholes. Stupid glasses, cell phones, or whatever else, asshole finds a way.

Also according to sailing rules wind powered vessels always have the right of way, which might be important in straights like the English Channel or around southern Asia.
It's difficult to take nautical advice from a dude who can't spell "strait" correctly. The "rules of the road" are a bit more complicated than you describe. A ship under sail, for example, must give way to a vessel restricted in its ability to maneuver, or a vessel not under command (can't maneuver at all). A sailing vessel must also give way to a fishing vessel using nets or trawls.
So no, wind powered vessels do not always have right of way.

The FAA doesn't say shit about storing a mobile elevated work platform with the boom raised -- with the notable exception of locations on or around an airfield regulated by the FAA.

It would sure suck to be fucked off in some nutcase's mass shooting with no access to my phone to report out or tell my mother I love her one last time. It's not 1955. The society you mentioned has changed. There's got to be a better solution to this. Maybe we should lock up some of the guns in steel pouches?

You're missing a key ingredient there which is the desire to actually do investigative journalism in the first place. That's not the mission anymore. Personally, I think that's due to short attention spans which are captured by "soft news" largely delivered and consumed on socials, and the media being a tool of political agendas.

Reminds me of the AI image generating prompt of "a room with no elephants in it." And every single one of them has an elephant even when rooms don't normally have elephants (in my personal experience).
No elephants.
