“Generally speaking, there is still a First Amendment right to record in public as long as they’re not interfering with police,” Wong told USA TODAY. “To me, this sounds like a devious arrest.”
Ah, but who defines “interfering?” Is it “what a reasonable person would consider to be interference” or “whatever the police consider to be interference?”
Because under the second definition, police could arrest a judge that refused to issue them a warrant and get away with it.
