Taking photos of cops... ruled legal by the 1st circuit court of appeals. You can bet money cops will keep fighting this. They hate being caught on...

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


The First Circuit Court of Appeals has upheld a lawsuit against a local New Hampshire police department, affirming the right of citizens to film police carrying out their duties in public.

Carla Gericke attempted to film Sergeant Joseph Kelley as he pulled over her friend Tyler Hanslin on the night of March 24, 2010. Gericke was later arrested and charged with several crimes, including violation of New Hampshire’s wiretapping statute. She was not brought to trial, but nevertheless filed a lawsuit against the Town of Weare, its police department, and the arresting officers. Gericke’s complaint was that the wiretapping charge constituted “retaliatory prosecution in violation of her First Amendment rights.”

In his ruling on the case, Judge Kermit V. Lipez explained that the gathering of information about government officials, including police officers, is a right protected by First Amendment that “not only aids in the uncovering of abuses, but also may have a salutary effect on the functioning of government more generally.”

“Those First Amendment principles apply equally to the filming of a traffic stop and the filming of an arrest in a public park,” Lipez wrote.
