Police station is AGAINST public photography!!

In North America, the constitutional right to record in public spaces is protected by freedom of expression and press, meaning that anyone can legally film or photograph anything visible from a public location, regardless of whether the property owner or security personnel object. This right is grounded in constitutional frameworks like Canada's Charter of Rights and Freedoms (Section 2B) and the US First Amendment, which establish that the public square remains a site of open observation. The law imposes a heavy justificatory burden on the state, requiring that any restriction on recording rights must be minimally impairing and backed by a pressing and substantial objective. A private citizen's subjective disapproval or ignorance of these rights does not constitute a valid legal reason for an officer to seize a camera or stop a recording, ensuring that individual liberty is not a privilege subject to the approval of others.
