This reporter was filming in a public space when a deputy tried to force him to leave without any lawful reason. But he picked the wrong guy. Calm and confident, the reporter invoked his First Amendment rights and state constitutional protections. As pressure mounted, he stood his ground and exposed the abuse of authority. Watch how he makes the officer back down. >> I don't know what's the problem with us being here. >> They want everybody up there just for their scene, and they're in charge of it. So, we're going to have everybody go up there. >> What matters in the end is my First Amendment right to be here. I'm going to stick up for my right. So, I don't mean to be difficult, but it's my job as a reporter to stick up for journalist rights, and that's what I'm doing right now. I don't mean to break the law. It's not my intent. This this is a public area. I I I can I can legally be here. I could legally I know the law. >> Commander of the fire department. >> Just asking you to do it now. If you're respectfully disobeying the order, then we'll go from there. >> We don't have a problem with you guys right now at 6:00. Despite what the incident commander says, he doesn't control the press. It's the constitution of the state that gives me the right to be here. Okay. We'll discuss that in further. Okay. All right. Thank you.
