Nice! Two suggestions:

1) Include audio as well as video. Not only would this allow recording by voice recorder as well, it would also eliminate the technicality of banning audio recordings, and therefore prosecuting those who take video since the video camera takes audio, too. Besides, much if not most of the relevant information will be in the audio.

2) Put in a clause allowing anyone aggrieved by the law to have a cause of action (see my proposals for One Subject at a Time and Acts to be Plainly Worded for examples).
