Pray tell, what speech do cameras make?
- throwawaytea 6mo agoThe same one that I make when I stand somewhere and describe what I see. So I hold a camera to do it more accurately. And then I get tired so I mount the camera on a trip setup instead.
- malfist 6mo agoI'm still not hearing any speech from the camera doing the recording. Can you tell me specifically, how recording with a camera is speech?
- greyface- 6mo agoACLU of IL v. Alvarez (2012): "The act of making an audio or audiovisual recording is necessarily included within the First Amendment’s guarantee of speech and press rights as a corollary of the right to disseminate the resulting recording."
- mrala 6mo agoWhat is your definition of speech? It seems like you are defining it literally.
- echelon 6mo agoMy recording of police interactions is free speech, for example. My recording my property is free speech. My taking a camera into public spaces and recording is free speech.
