They Have Been, They Are, They Will Be... - S1-E3
Visible crew/equipment: After the cops approach the electronics establishment to see the damage done to the building, overhead camera equipment is moving from left to right in one of the police cars' hubcaps.
Suggested correction: The Cameraman is part of the news crew that was filming the event all around. Not a mistake.
The point being is that the cameramen in the crowd are part of Director Mel Stuart's film crew, getting angles and footage of the crowd for the movie without hiring additional crews to get the same shots.

How do we know that, though? How do we know this wasn't an extra with a non-working prop meant to be one of the crowd cameramen? Seems like a big assumption to make without the director confirming this was a trick of his.
Because of the camera angles and shots of the crowd that could only be achieved from Stuart's film crew, who are posing as news crews at the event, that's how we know.
