Scalia v. Sonoma County

Scalia v. Sonoma County was a legal case where the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that individuals have a constitutional right to record police officers in public. The case centered on Anthony Scalia, who used his phone to record police activity during a protest. When police tried to confiscate his phone, Scalia sued, arguing his First Amendment rights were violated. The Court decided that recording police in public is a protected form of free speech and expression, emphasizing the importance of accountability and transparency between law enforcement and the public.
