10th Circuit - Court of Appeals

This brief argues that the First Amendment protects the right to record the police and that such recordings are a vital tool of community oversight of police.

In Irizarry v. Yehia the plaintiff is Abade Irizarry, a journalist/blogger who attempted to film a DUI stop until a police officer obstructed his ability to film first by standing in front of him and then by shining a light into his camera.
