First Circuit Affirms Right to Record the Police
- egiva 15y agoThank goodness - there aren't many things that get my blood boiling, but this idea that police can arrest people for filming them really angers me. I saw a news clip about a woman filming the police from inside her own home and they arrested her. That seems abusive. People should be respectful, but I welcome this news that the courts are finally affirming their right to film public officials in public places.
