A public transportation encounter turns chaotic when a transit officer confronts citizen journalists recording an emergency scene in public. Tensions explode after the officer allegedly grabs one of the auditors while demanding they stop filming.
The auditors repeatedly remind officers that they’re standing on public property and exercising protected First Amendment rights. But instead of addressing the complaint, officials begin talking about trespassing and trying to shut the cameras down.
This confrontation exposes a growing issue nationwide — too many government employees still treat public filming like a crime, even on taxpayer-funded property.
