Court: No First Amendment right to videorecord police unless you are challenging the police at the time - The Washington Post (https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/volokh-conspiracy/wp/2016/02/23/no-first-amendment-right-to-videorecord-police-unless-you-are-challenging-the-police-at-the-time/)

A Philadelphia federal trial court has held that there is no constitutional right to videorecord police when the act of recording is unaccompanied by "challenge or criticism" of the police conduct.

This decision will no doubt be taken up on appeal.
