In a public space, no. You have no right to restrict others from observing or recording.
It is not "your" business, according to the law. It's an event occurring in public and is everybody's business.
- JustSomeNobody 9y agoI guess it begs the question, is this a decent thing to do to someone? I don't think so. Let people sort their business out themselves.
- throwaway76543 9y agoWhether or not it's decent isn't at issue. The issue is the arrest. There's quite a bit of indecent, perfectly legal activity which will often result in illegal abuse of authority. For example: Standing on a street corner yelling "cops are pigs, fuck the police" is both somewhat indecent and entirely legal and well protected by the first amendment. Engage in such behavior and there are good odds you will become the subject of an illegal abuse of power.
