That's exactly what's going on here. The press has a constitutional right to report. This lawsuit alleges that the police violated that right. And not just once, but systemically. Now they're suing to take back that lost freedom. If they don't, then what's to stop this continuing to be the norm? I can't think of a clearer example of what the ACLU exists to do.
