How about this right that HAS been written into the Constitution in the form of the Bill of Rights (1st Amendment):
Freedom of the press protects the
right to obtain and publish information or opinions without government censorship or fear of punishment. Censorship occurs when the government examines publications and productions and prohibits the use of material it finds offensive. Freedom of press applies to all types of printed and broadcast material, including books, newspapers, magazines, pamphlets, films and radio and television programs
This also generally covers freedom of scientific research also.
So, under this clause of the US Bill of Rights...the rights of any person to obtain a photo/video of a tornado (for possible publication) should he/she so desire is protected just as much as that of a scientist conducting research under the concept of 'scientific freedom', Or if necessary, just put some instrument on/in your vehicle and claim you are conducting scientific research correlated by photographic evidence.
In the meantime, perhaps the government and those proposing its expansion could better spend their time by coming up with ways to reduce the number of 11,000 people killed on US highways each year by drunk drivers (with one of those fatalities being chaser Andy Gabrielson killed last year by a drunk driver). In fact, Mothers Against Drunk Drivers put out a list showing Oklahoma to be the most lenient of the 50 states towards having drunks kill innocent people on the road - apparently, causing a death as a result of DUI is a case of "negligent homicide" in Oklahoma with a max of 1 year in jail and a max of $1,000 fine.
