SMITH v. CITY OF CUMMING
It's NOT illegal to cross the guard line with a CELL PHONE.
It's NOT illegal to photograph a jail or a prison from public view.
And it's certainly NOT illegal to walk into a public lobby and record public servants.
United States Court of Appeals, Eleventh Circuit (Georgia, Alabama, and Florida)
The court affirmed that the First Amendment protects the right to gather information about what public officials do on public property, and specifically, a right to record matters of public interest.
The court agreed with the Smiths that they had a right subject to reasonable time, manner and place restrictions, to photograph or videotape police conduct.
