We are splitting hairs on the constitutionality issue - besides I was responding to your general assertion that states can limit free speech - not the specific merits of this case.If we look at the specifics of this case: As for "disorderly conduct": We do not live in a police state therefore disagreeing with a police officer does not rise to the level of "disorderly conduct". As for the unlawful photography - it is invalid on its face because 1050.9c specifically permits photography. NYPD is completely out of control on this issue and needs a major class-action lawsuit to force it to finally recognize photographer's rights. Some photographers are now seriously starting to discuss a section 1983 action against NYPD. Since photography is a privilege granted by law then depriving a person of that privilege violates USC Title 42 Section 1983. Creative and I like it!!! |
