We all cringe when we see the viral video of a First Amendment auditor baiting a police officer and they fall for it. Many police officers lack training on the First Amendment and what citizens are entitled to do. While citizens are allowed to exercise a right, they are not entitled to break a law to do it. This class explains when First Amendment encounters violate the law. It covers:

• Citizens recording in public

• Citizens recording the police

• When citizens are not entitled to record

• When recording the police constitutes an offense

• When an officer can request identification

• Explaining to officers that New Jersey IS NOT a “Stop and Identify” state and that simply failing to identify oneself is not a violation
