Quoted: I strongly disagree. The 1st amendment, like the 2nd, is a core tenant of our rights, and just because it's annoying doesn't mean it should be a felony.

Otherwise we're going to just need to start throwing copies of The Constitution and Bill of Rights at each other in our drawstroke and shoot each other to death as the manner to champion our cause in that moment. Once you hear "You're under arrest." Your mouth needs to close and you need to do what the officer tells you the fuck to do. He's going win that battle. You need to be focused on winning the war, which she would have, and still will. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted: Quoted: She was just fine doing what she was doing. He didn't have any justification to tell her to go anywhere, and certainly not to detain/arrest/assault her. Calling anything "resisting" when a cop has no authority to arrest in the first place is bullshit, and it's MUCH too common. It's hilarious that cops can say "we arrested them for resisting arrest" with a straight face. I hear you. Like I said, not saying he had a leg to stand on to give her orders.

View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: During the investigation, Carolyn Rodriguez approached the officers. In a statement, FWPD said an officer asked Rodriguez to move across the street, and when she did not, the officer forcefully arrested her.

Not a lawyer but it's unclear how refusing to move to the other side of the street turns into resisting arrest, evading arrest, and false reporting. Because like 6 different federal district appellate courts have established precedent that Time/Place/Manner restrictions on 1st Amendment Auditors (and videoing the police in general) are legal and constitutional. That means telling her to move across the street was a lawful order, failure to obey a lawful order is an arrestable offense, resisting that attempt to arrest is resisting arrest which caused interference with their investigation, combined with any attempt by her to move away or flee all combines up to probable cause for arrest and charges of Interference with Public Duties, Resisting Arrest, and Evading Arrest. Those time/place/manner restrictions have to be reasonable. She was in a public place and was not interfering with their parking enforcement or being a threat.

Quoted: At the scene of an active emergency doesn't seem unreasonable to make people move out of the way. View Quote That's basically what the law interpretation says from everywhere I've searched. Scenes of active emergency(including taped-off areas), you can be told to back off legally and non-compliance can result in charges. Same for private property without authorization from the owner or interrupting a LEO during an active investigation. That last part has a lot of gray areas and case law associated with it and it becomes situational and not blanket authorization for LEOs to restrict access in close proximity. Filming and questioning LEOs is still allowed, regardless of the situation. In the case of this situation, there is no case law (that I can find) to support the actions from the LEO who assaulted the women. At least, that's my layman's understanding reading explanations from legal organizations. |

That last part has a lot of gray areas and case law associated with it and it becomes situational and not blanket authorization for LEOs to restrict access in close proximity. Filming and questioning LEOs is still allowed, regardless of the situation. In the case of this situation, there is no case law (that I can find) to support the actions from the LEO who assaulted the women. At least, that's my layman's understanding reading explanations from legal organizations. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted: Quoted: At the scene of an active emergency doesn't seem unreasonable to make people move out of the way. That's basically what the law interpretation says from everywhere I've searched. Scenes of active emergency(including taped-off areas), you can be told to back off legally and non-compliance can result in charges. Same for private property without authorization from the owner or interrupting a LEO during an active investigation.

Video I posted above has some LEO's telling folks to move along with so-so compliance and they didn't have to arrest or assault anybody... including the dead car thief |

Quoted: See, this is what gets me most of all: Don’t any of the police out there watch YouTube? One would think by now that they know what NOT to do to avoid being the subject of a creators most famous video. But I have to concede that this is a rhetorical question. Of course the police know what NOT to do to become infamous. Hell, future Dollar General employee of the month KNEW he was dealing with a 1st Amendment Auditor and KNEW he was on camera. The question is WHY do they do this shit anyway, knowing that it’s wrong and there will be negative consequences? Is a violent psychopath just who they are and they can’t help themselves? Or do they get away with this behavior so much they believe they will get away with it forever? Very, very puzzling.

Unintelligent people have a harder time controlling themselves and their emotions. Add to that the mindset of "we're the law and whatever we say you have to obey," and they just can't help themselves. |

Just another misinterpretation being expounded on by the group in your post. Time, Place and Manner explained Findlaw Time, Place, Or Manner Restriction time, place, or manner restriction n : a restriction on the time, place, or manner of expression that is justified when it is neutral as to content and serves a significant government interest and leaves open ample alternative channels of communication [an injunction excluding demonstrators from the front of the building was held to be a reasonable time, place, or manner restriction] called also time, place, and manner restriction |

Not sure if anyone posted this or not. 5th Circuit:
Protecting the right to film the police promotes First Amendment principles. We agree with every circuit that has ruled on this question: Each has concluded that the First Amendment protects the right to record the police.46 As the First Circuit explained, "[t]he filming of government officials engaged in their duties in a public place, including police officers performing their responsibilities, fits comfortably within [basic First Amendment] principles."47 This right, however, "is not without limitations."48 Like all speech,49 filming the police "may be subject to reasonable time, place, and manner restrictions."50 In this case, however, we need not decide which specific time, place, and manner restrictions would be reasonable.51 Nonetheless, we note that when police departments or officers adopt time, place, and manner restrictions, those restrictions must be "narrowly tailored to serve a significant governmental interest."52 That said, to be constitutionally permissible, a time, place, and manner restriction "need not be the least restrictive or least intrusive means of serving the government's interests."...

And there was actually a 2022 opinion from the 10th circuit specifically siding with a YouTube 1A auditor, denying QI to the cops. They only devoted a footnote to the halfassed argument that they were engaging in a reasonable time, place, manner restriction.
This right is subject to reasonable time, place, and manner restrictions. See Glik , 655 F.3d at 84. But in this case, there is no "time, place, and manner" restriction issue because a "peaceful recording" of a traffic stop in "a public space that does not interfere with the police officers’ performance of their duties is not reasonably subject to limitation." Id. View Quote Irizarry v. Yehia, 38 F.4th 1282 (10th Cir. 2022) (footnote 10) I guess we'll see what they come up with here as far as Texas statutes goes that could be considered TPM restrictions, but it looks way more like they knew who she was; they disapproved of the content of her protected activity; and they/he retaliated. Plus false arrest and excessive force. |
