    The penalty for filming in Arlington is a fine and up to 6 months in jail. Jail time is very unlikely, and there’s no indication of what the fine would/should be, but the bad press would be worse than any financial penalty.

    Assault is a more serious crime, but the victim would need to cooperate with the prosecution. I don’t know if “press charges” is the correct term, but the victim is afraid of retaliation, so I doubt any of it goes anywhere.
