Results: The Right To Take Pictures Of Police?
Published on 08/16/2014
St. Louis, Missouri has been protesting since Saturday after a police officer shot and killed an unarmed black teenager named Michael Brown. The protests that have taken over the community have resulted in police officers arriving with assault weapons and military equipment. During the protests, the police demanded that the people turn off their cameras. However, the law allows Americans the right to record the police during the course of their public duties as long as it does not interfere with their work.
