as the police in general
what's going on there
rebecca but and uh...
you know i think that that dvd review on the police
uh... is and at definite mix
bad
uh... here they've done some pretty outrageous uh... things it would be that
the mass arrests on the brooklyn bridge the pepper spray um... but i think the
good news is the greatest news
um... that we're seeing is that that they made a decision too
are not interfere and to probably have a choice in that powell with the right of
the occupy well-treated day into kati part uh... you twenty four stab at it
uh... that's a huge you were still fighting for the com protectors to be
able to have ten
uh... to protect them from the element and um... uh... set up by a

um... entry may choose to call a mystery
yeah and
michel minister only reasonable things
i'm curious our units are you an attorney
plants are taken care
i'm not in now
end you know i i can't the laws a hobby that i i certainly there are present
myself as an expert on it
uh...
i have heard a couple books but that some very very narrow pieces of the time
which i can probably ought to be a tenant lawyer but generally speaking
on i'm curious
the first amendment protects the rights of the people to peaceably assemble and
petition the government freed recipe that 'cause grievances
and arguably that's exactly what is happening in this park
uh... the supreme court over it
many years in a variety of decisions as narrowed that right uh... famous living
was the nineteen forties and fifties when the wendy at one of the justices
uh... quite there yet
brought into being in the
that the uh... cliche about
the the right to yell fire and a crowded theater you could i'm should probably
crackdown which decision that was
how constitutional is
what is being done is it
is it true
that people could save my permit is the first amendment two ca of the
constitution well uh... you know that with all right
uh... i hear nothing is absolutely inflexible and and and not
subject to the certain amount of government regulation
and the principle with regard to the first amendment is that that the
government is gable ceiling caged-in of reasonable time place and manner
restrictions
uh... but they can't
uh... any restrictions on the contents of uh... for what's being said and it
can't be unreasonable and i have to take uh... uh... a least restrictive
approach to first amendment rights obviated
that constitutional principle and there are in the law is that vary from wheel
one hand he recounted intact
about exactly what you need to do what important in new york among other things
is that why you need a permit to protect the st
uh... you don't need a permit to walk on the sidewalk demonstrate on the five lot
that long to keep you know a pedestrian iol
open me and and uh... you know we'd we'd we have
often gotten into disputes with the police
getting permits to march in the street on and i think i want to ted we're not
temperaments we don't believe a permit for for for protest worth protecting
and will do it within the law into their parents drive up
uh... program demonstrations occasionally spilling out into the
streets on donahue
constantly and and in the work you don't need a permit we needed a permit for
account and and um... they've been denied a permit first found up until now
i want hope said at the drumming controversy gets under control
uh... it would be possible for them to yet found
commandeered the other thing that's going on common if we could talk more
about the permit stuff if you before getting into that if the surveillance of
what's going on outside first-timers gobbling day
at the police are coming in this instance critically sickening with video
cameras
valance and cameras and
virtually twenty four seven virtually every person every thing that said
uh... britain videotapes uh...
as i do i have that right
the market seem powell and of course when it comes to video surveillance by
the n_y_p_d_'s
nobody knows exactly what they're doing we can only survived because um... it
there were a private for the most opaque government agency did in the country i
think the n_y_p_d_'s would probably
uh... rana close back into the c_i_a_
uh... he might even take over first-place four days
there not been interested in a likes
walking in the middle of the with its head with a video camera disqualified no
i didn't pay back a that na ungrounded reading the news stories in from reading
the news stories i got the sense that they were actually being intrusive that
that that there was intimidating presence
of of uh...
over senator whatever you call it should be just an abrupt halt everybody
everybody can ever since i live and work in israel and syria it won't be out what
happens to me that's the rest of the reading uh... of what happened at a
group called carol armed
uh... ko argue within the police department and and that protect that
quiet from the n_y_p_d_
and they fill up with their video cameras heroin addiction to altered
normal videos surveillance echoes don on that box
and and in that neighborhood
at the routine matter bumped to harass shows up uh... and with him back on
their trial based on their truck there on the ground whenever they have a
demonstration
and and they worked out their video cameras and what we have cartel uh...
witness because we have protectors
uh... about we have observers uh... redhead every major demonstrations
uh... or even threatened to confrontation
client that it petain your camera on carol well what do you know if they take
pictures of you
and and back now with this supposed to be doing
um... theoretically
uh... what they're allowed to do what the police department has allowed to be
a tape
is their laughter videotape
a demonstration but only for the purposes of crowd control in making
decisions about how that
how that had a police things um... not
for the purposes barium
most definitely
not for the purposes uh... uh... establishing and maintaining apart
