David Milton speaks to civil rights lawyers about the right to record the police

Last week, David spoke about recording the police to a group of over 100 civil rights lawyers at an all-day seminar in Washington, DC, put on by the National Police Accountability Project, “Police Misconduct in the Age of Trump.” David was on a panel about litigating First and Fourth Amendment cases in an era of increasing law enforcement repression of political protest. David gave an overview of the state of the law nationwide and predicted that eventually all courts would recognize the First Amendment right to record police officers performing their duties, as the federal appeals court in Boston did in the landmark 2011 case Glik v. Cunniffe, handled by our firm.
