“DO YOU WANT TO PRESS CHARGES?” - First Amendment Audit

KULT News reporter, Mike Norton, grew up in Visalia, CA in the 1970s and came back to town for his first time since 1980 to do some First Amendment auditing in his home town. This resulted in FIVE CALLS TO POLICE in one afternoon. Would the responding officers recognize and respect our First Amendment right to film in public or would they disappoint us as so many law enforcement officers have before them? WATCH AND FIND OUT! If you want to skip the previews (aka spoiler alerts) then skip to the 1:20 mark in the video. Want to support our mission and/or assist with our legal fees?

Enjoy the deer-in-the-headlights looks as incompetent cops see a mild-mannered citizen just out taking photos turn into a news reporter well-versed on his Constitutional rights right before their eyes. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 Laws may vary but, generally speaking, in the United States, if you are in public you are legally able to photograph whatever you can see. Simply put, your eyes can’t be trespassed. Obviously there are some restrictions on this (i.e., bathrooms, dressing rooms, most courtrooms, locker rooms, etc.) but very few when you are in public. If you can see it, you can shoot it (this rule only applies to cameras.) This is not legal advice. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 Write to us at [email protected] 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 We often post links to our audits on our Instagram and Facebook stories feed a full day before they can be seen on YouTube. 😃 Instagram: @KULTnewsUSA Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?...
