You don’t want to end up like this group of guys who were out filming for a class. What they did wrong was not secure any permits and let the local police know they were filming a student film.
They were trying to film a chase scene and had bb-guns. Well someone called the local authorities and well you can see the rest in the video.
Here is an excerpt from the Guerilla filmmakers handbook - on Shooting Permits
More to follow…..
And Here is a forum post from DVInfo.net - about permits and how they can vary between locations and what you are shooting. - Quite and Interesting Read. And the one line that stood out was ” The business side of film making is tougher than making the film itself!”

Ahh! Man what a great video in itself! I’m surprised how seriously they took that and the force they responded with. Good lesson.
