When officers demanded that they stop recording or provide identification, the man firmly asserted his First Amendment right to film and challenged them to identify any specific law he had violated. Although the officers acknowledged that recording in public is legal, they continued citing concerns about disruption and safety. The man stood his ground and defended his rights. Ultimately, unable to provide a legal basis to stop the filming, the officers were forced to back down. >> Morning, morning. >> Morning. >> What's going on? >> I don't know, ask them. >> What are you guys doing here? >> I'll give you three guesses.
