Know Your Rights When Taking Photos and Making Video and Audio Recordings

[womanofthehills]

Taking photographs and videos of things that are plainly visible from public spaces is your constitutional right. That includes federal buildings, transportation facilities, and police and other government officials carrying out their duties. Unfortunately, law enforcement officers often order people to stop taking photographs or video in public places, and sometimes harass, detain or even arrest people who use their cameras or cell phone recording devices in public.

3. Just got mine for Oregon and sent information to my husband, son, daughter in law, etc.

Thank you!!!! We all need to be prepared. The police will not change until they are forced to stop. I'm not a police hater by any means but we all know that they will always protect their own, even if their own is corrupt.

4. Upload to the cloud while you record, if you can or ASAP.

It used to be in some jurisdictions you could make still photos and silent video but could not record sound because of laws against recording audio of "police operations". Perhaps those have been struck down by now?
