Hils v. Davis

Submitted by Re'Neisha Stevenson on Tue, 12/06/2022 - 15:48

In suit by police and union representative, court holds city’s policy of not allowing private recording or videotaping interviews in city investigations into police misconduct did not violate First Amendment; prohibition on recording speech is not a prohibition on speaking; freedom of the press right of access to information does not require government to open all proceedings to public; officers’ appearance at interviews is a legitimate condition of employment and nonrecording policy rationally furthers a legitimate government interest.
