[Music] hey everybody I'm David writings this is the legal minute recording the police what are my rights to do so this could be a 30 minute long video but I'm gonna keep it short do you do I have the right to legally record a video of a police encounter even if the police want me to stop the answer to that is yes as long as you're in a public place you have the First Amendment right to video record anything and if the police officer tells you to stop you should respectfully say I'm sorry officer I have the First Amendment right to continue to recording and I'm going to do so for my safety and for yours so if he insists on you stopping up to the threat of a rest then you've got a decision to make do you push it to prove a point that you have the First Amendment right to do so and then get arrested or do you protect yourself from getting arrested and then back off and don't video I can't answer that question for you today but you have the right to continue videoing I hope this has helped somebody I'm David ridings and I'll see you next time
