EFF Publishes Guide to Recording Police Encounters

By Meridian48 News Desk · Summarised from EFF ·

The Electronic Frontier Foundation released a guide detailing Americans' First Amendment right to record law enforcement, including audio, in public spaces. It notes nine federal appellate courts have affirmed this right, though the Supreme Court hasn't ruled. The guide also covers limitations, such as obstruction and off-duty officers, and practical safety tips.

Meridian48 take
This guide is a practical resource for citizens, but its legal advice may vary by jurisdiction and doesn't guarantee protection from retaliation.
