Actually, the "blank" poster read "*** *****." That was assumed to be an anti-war message.

So, Mr. Putin, I would like to tell you

Victory! Another Court Protects the Right to Record Police

When people fear that the police are about to break the law, they pull out their phones and hit “record.” Doing so promotes police accountability and public discussion of important issues. So, it is great news that yet another federal appellate court has ruled that people have a First Amendment right to record on-duty police. With this ruling, the Tenth Circuit has joined six other federal appellate courts: the First, Third, Fifth, Seventh, Ninth, and Eleventh Circuits.
