CAUGHT ON CAMERA: Man Arrested For Filming

FIRE Short 20 days ago

Description

The First Amendment right to record law enforcement doesn’t disappear when officers don’t want to be recorded.

Hunter Demster knew that. Memphis Safe Task Force agents didn’t.

Officers can require people to keep a reasonable distance so they don’t physically interfere, but they can’t turn that rule into a floating buffer zone that moves with them and effectively keeps people from filming.
