YouTube Description
as posted by the channel"The U.S. Supreme Court has refused to hear a case on the constitutionality of recording police officers while they do their job.
This means the court leaves in place a lower-court ruling, which found placing limits on taping police in public spaces unconstitutional.
The ACLU of Illinois brought the a suit against Cook County State's Attorney Anita Alvarez in 2010, after her office wanted to bring charges against ACLU staff recording audio of "police officers performing their public duties in a public place and speaking loudly enough to be heard by a passerby."
The state attorney wanted to bring the charges based on Illinois' eavesdropping law, which has gained much attention lately."*
Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian discuss the Supreme Court's refusal to hear an Illinois prosecutor's plea to stop people from taping police officers. Wouldn't such a ban be a massive First Amendment violation?
