Your 1st amendment rights are no different from the commercial news outlets. Public places generally are proper for capturing sound, images, and full video. Unless those individuals captured have "a reasonable expectation of privacy"(restrooms, etc), then they can show up on your captured files. Especially govt. personnel serving the public. So it's fine to press the 'RECORD' button before approaching the neighborhood polling location and capturing all the events that transpire while in the polling 'white zone'. You just can't display anything that influences the direct decisions that the voters are being polled about. Nor can you advocate about the matters on the ballot. If an election judge is acting improperly, capture it on video. If another citizen is advocating, get it documented with real evidence. If someone is wearing campaign clothing, you'll want to make sure it's captured, as well as your notification of the poll judges, so they will be held accountable for protecting the law. |
