Federal Court: recording cops an unambiguous first amendment right

Federal Court: recording cops an unambiguous first amendment right:


When Simon Glik recorded Boston cops doing something they shouldn't, he was threatened and ultimately arrested by a crackpot cop who boasted, "I've been doing this for thirty years and there's nothing you can hold over my head." The result? A federal court ruling that videotaping police is an unambiguous and constitutionally protected right. [Citmedialaw via Gizmodo]
