The interesting thing about the first amendment and recording of photographs and videos is that it protects people who 1) have a message to communicate, and 2) have an audience for that message more than people who are just recording for personal, recreational use. Ever since doing research on the first amendment for my Sun-Times articles, I am really interested in all related issues. So, now I'm reading about ACLU vs. Alvarez, which is a case about recording on-duty police officers in public places. I think it is currently under appeal.
it took me about an hour to find out what a circuit is, and that Chicago is in the 7th Federal Judicial Circuit.
