Despite the contents of the First Amendment and how videotaping of authorities acting in their official capacity as agents of The State has been ruled and affirmed as constitutionally protected by federal appellate courts every time it's come up. To whit: the First, Third, Fifth, Seventh, Ninth, Tenth, and Eleventh Circuits have held that citizens do have a First Amendment right to record police officers.

In fact, if this is allowed to fly, next will be prosecutions for anyone who dares to speak ill of ICE, period.
