Is anybody capable of putting this into plain English, or ideally, link an authoritative source which does that? For us with no time on our hands.
Particular queries:
1 - Does this apply nationally? Where and where doesn't it apply (user @aerovistae & others asked and remains unsettled, debated in comments here)
2 - Does this apply to both video and audio recording?
3 - Are there limits where and when I can record? (public vs private spaces?)
4 - What should one do if police forcibly interfere with your right to record and retain information?
- HNLogInShit 10y agoThe gist is that this court intends to settle this 1st-Amendment question with this case. Although no lower court had held that people DON'T have a right to record police (and several had held that they DO), it was not deemed a "settled" matter. Now it is: You can do it. Audio and video.
