Amagansett Press ARRESTED - Another MASSIVE Lawsuit Filed (Lawyer Explains)

A criminal defense attorney breaks down how Bay County Sheriff's deputies arrested a journalist and his son for recording on a public sidewalk outside a UPS facility in Panama City, Florida. The charge? Florida Statute 810.0975, a school safety zone law that a federal court had already declared unconstitutionally vague thirteen years earlier. Jason Gutterman, known online as Amagansett Press, spent approximately six hours in custody. The charges were dismissed at his first appearance before a judge. Four years later, he filed a massive federal civil rights lawsuit under 42 U.S.C.
