Don’t worry. Isolated incident.

Imagine being a victim and people posting it ? Kind of sad but it’s someone’s right to video it. Just like it’s someone’s right to boo someone.

Recording a video is not a demonstration of free speech, the government clearly defines what free speech is:

What Does Free Speech Mean?

I never said videoing is freedom of speech. But it’s protected under the same amendment ironically as of now.

No its not

So was this video filmed illegally ?

And I’m talking about this video specifically. There’s a public employee involved in the video. It’s protected under the same amendment.

Wrong again.

Recording video in public is protected under the first amendment protections afforded to speech. Filming is seen as speech.


You think the Supreme Court will spell out every action that is protected under the first amendment?


One can argue whether the MTA subway system is a public space. That’s a separate argument.

Freedom of speech is not filming a video of events unfolding live in front of you

Speech is the formulation and articulation of ideas, you are not formulating or articulating anything by filming a live video

If you wrote a screenplay and filmed it, then that is a form of free speech
