If you do not break the law then nothing will happen to you. Similarly, if LEO does not break the law nothing will happen to them. If the people involved (yes, people) were not aware of the laws then they will be instructed as to their proper response.

I have no problem with authority when it is utilized correctly and operating within the boundary of authority given. Whether pre-meditated or inadvertent inappropriate acts, the authority was out of bounds. And totally with a lack of knowledge about the PA laws.

Well, we only know one side of the story. We here are very familiar with gun laws but it is only a miniscule part of the responsibilites of LEO.

The people should not be treated badly because they legally exercise their right, even when it does inconvenience the LEO at the time.

No one was arrested. Everyone went home. Maybe some bruised feelings but, in the final analysis, no one was any worse for wear. People need to understand that they may, from time to time, be inconvenienced. There is no right not to be inconvenienced.
There is no story here...let's move along.
