NYCLU Settlement Ends Restriction on Photography Outside Federal Courthouses
October 18, 2010 In settling a lawsuit filed by the New York Civil Liberties Union, the federal government today recognized the publics right to take photographs and record videos in public spaces outside federal courthouses throughout the nation.
The settlement comes after the NYCLU sued the federal government in April on behalf of a Libertarian activist who was unlawfully arrested by federal officers after exercising his First Amendment right to record digital video outside of a federal courthouse in Lower Manhattan.
Not only will this settlement end harassment of photographers outside federal courthouses, it will free people to photograph and film outside of all federal buildings, said NYCLU Associate Legal Director Christopher Dunn, lead counsel in the case. The regulation at issue in this case applies to all federal buildings, not only courthouses, so this settlement should extend to photography near all federal buildings nationwide."
