Description

We all cringe when we see viral videos of First Amendment auditors baiting police officers and they fall for it. Many police officers lack training on the First Amendment and what citizens are entitled to do. While citizens are allowed to exercise a right, they are not entitled to break a law to do so. This class explains when First Amendment encounters violate the law. It covers citizens recording in public, citizens recording the police, when citizens are not entitled to record, when recording the police constitutes an offense, and when an officer can request identification. It also explains to officers that New Jersey IS NOT a “Stop and Identify” state and that simply failing to identify oneself is not a violation. (Full-Day)
