Do they just get to unilaterally trample over rights to do this? Any impediment should be removed at any cost?
Most of these apps are akin to filming police; protected speech in my book. I won't say anything bad about surveillance in the streets/online, but it's upsetting that they abuse their power to prevent monitoring and reporting their abuse of power
- coderatlarge 1y agoi am not a lawyer, so please treat this as more of a question: my belief was that whether it’s ok to film in a public place is a matter of state law.
- pseudalopex 1y agoSome states passed laws to protect the right to record law enforcement officers in public places. Some states passed laws to forbid it. Courts said the laws to forbid it violated the 1st amendment.[1][2] [1] https://firstamendment.mtsu.edu/article/filming-the-police/ https://firstamendment.mtsu.edu/article/filming-the-police/ [2] https://www.thefire.org/research-learn/recording-police-public-what-you-need-know https://www.thefire.org/research-learn/recording-police-publ...
