What would a law look like that would prevent people from posting videos of police officers on the internet while also complying with the First Amendment?
- moate 5y agoIt wouldn't. It's impossible. People want unconstitutional things all the time though, and sometimes they even make them into laws. Then they go to the SCOTUS and lose. But you can do it.

You get to suppress whatever you want for however long it takes to reach the Supreme Court, and if the law gets struck down, well, at least you stopped those abortion clinics/gun owners/protesters/whatever for 5 years and you can push through another law next month.
- moate 5y agoMy personal "favorites" have been some of the abortion ban laws that know they're unconstitutional but are passed and sit there "pending the overturning of Roe v. Wade". Like, bro, you made an illegal law and you know it because you said "this law is illegal...for now."
