So this is really good news. A First Circuit federal appeals court has stated clearly and unequivocally that citizens have a right to videotape police officers conducting police activities in public. I hope the word of this spreads so that others refuse to be intimidated by police. (Actually, I would hope that police departments around the country would instruct their officers not to bother people who are videotaping public police activity unless they are actually interfering.)
