Recording police has become a contentious issue in recent years, as civilians seek to hold law enforcement accountable for their actions. In this podcast episode, we explore the right of civilians to record police encounters, and how this practice can help promote transparency and justice. Our guest, Mickey Osterreicher, an attorney and advocate for First Amendment rights, shares his insights and expertise on the legal aspects of recording police, including tips for staying safe and effective while doing so. We discuss the importance of citizen journalism, the role of social media in amplifying police misconduct, and the potential impact of recording on police accountability and reform. Whether you are a concerned citizen or a member of law enforcement, this podcast will provide valuable perspectives on the power of recording to create a more just and transparent society.
