Point of Law: First Amendment Audits and The Law

In this video, we delve into the complexities of First Amendment audits, a form of activism where individuals film public officials, particularly law enforcement, to test and exercise their constitutional rights. Drawing from Police Magazine's article, "Point of Law: First Amendment Audits and The Law," we explore the legal landscape surrounding these audits, including citizens' rights to record in public spaces and the reasonable restrictions that may apply. The video also discusses pertinent court rulings and offers guidance for law enforcement officers on how to handle such encounters professionally and within the bounds of the law.
