The difference in the following case is that Project Veritas always records "secretly", i.e. no camera is visible.
James O’Keefe and Project Veritas Make First Amendment History: Secret Recording of Massachusetts Public Officials Deemed Constitutional

Project Veritas attorneys Benjamin Barr and Steve Klein have received word from the United States Court for the District of Massachusetts of its victory in Project Veritas Action Fund v. Conley. The lawsuit filed against the state argued that the Massachusetts law prohibiting the secret recording of public officials was unconstitutional.
This is great news for O’keefe and investigative journalists who expose public officials for corruption, lies and criminal intent.
The Court agreed in today’s ruling that secretly recording government officials is a “basic, vital, and well-established liberty safeguarded by the First Amendment.”
The court’s decision will help James O’Keefe and Project Veritas in their mission to expose corruption, dishonesty, self-dealing, waste, fraud, and other misconduct in both public and private institutions.

Does he know you are recording him?
Did I actively tell him ? No.
Do I have a camera clearly visible ? Yes
You have no expectation of privacy in a public space. If it can be seen from public it’s fair game.

Why would they care anyway if the public at large gets to see them laughing in the face of some lowly subject "ordinary citizen" who has the gall to ask them to respect his rights?
