The First Amendment protects independent observers of police actions surrounding protesters. Such independent observers have been used by protest groups going back to at least the Civil Rights Protests of the late 1950's. Following them to their hotels extends the boundaries and may need to be adjudicated, but "law enforcement" individuals being allowed to hide their identity behind masks rather than have name plates and badge numbers clearly in evidence needs to be as well.
