Our elected officials CANNOT allow legislation that ignores our civil rights.
Today, we sent a letter to Attorney General Jennings and the Delaware General Assembly, urging them to stop the bill's introduction: www.aclu-de.org/press-releas...
We've said it before and we'll say it again: ๐ข The Constitution is NOT a suggestion.
The current draft of the state loitering bill violates both the U.S. and DE constitutions, including the 4th and 8th Amendments, which protect us from unwarranted searches and seizures & excessive fines and fees.
A few important reminders:
โข You must be in a place youโre legally allowed to be
โข You cannot interfere with police activity
โข Officers cannot delete your footage
โข They generally need a warrant to search your phone
The Constitution doesnโt turn off when you press โrecord.โ
3/3
Courts across the country have affirmed that recording police officers performing their duties in public spaces is a constitutional right. That right is a critical tool for transparency, accountability, and public trust.
2/3
๐ฑ You have the right to record in public.
The First Amendment protects the right to gather information about what public officials do on public property and that includes law enforcement.
1/3
Government transparency isnโt optional, itโs foundational.
Join us for a virtual conversation on the nuts and bolts of FOIA, its exemptions, and how pending lawsuits could reshape access to public information.
Registration is required to receive the Zoom link.
