Judge orders NYPD to allow filming in police stations
A federal judge ordered the NYPD Thursday to stop enforcing a policy that prohibits people from recording inside of police precincts while a lawsuit challenging the rule is underway.earlier this year after police arrested him twice for filming in the 61st and 75th precincts in Brooklyn. Reyes argued that the ban on filming violates a city law that protects New Yorkers’ right to tape police, as well as the U.S. Constitution.
U.S. District Judge Jessica Clarke wrote that Reyes is not likely to prove that the policy violates the First Amendment, because other courts have ruled that certain government spaces can limit free speech activity for specific reasons, such as to protect safety and privacy., which the City Council approved in 2020 as a rebuke to the NYPD’s ban on filming in precinct houses.
“My goal is to expose the bad officers and try to hold them accountable through my platform,” he said.
