Recording in public spaces is a constitutionally protected activity under the First Amendment, and individuals have no expectation of privacy in public areas; however, law enforcement may still detain individuals based on reasonable suspicion of criminal activity, as demonstrated when citizens exercising their right to record were arrested for blocking a fire hydrant and other violations, showing that public recording rights do not grant immunity from other legal violations.

To free speech.
>> You have everything. Yeah. Same.
>> But doesn't doesn't that amendment specifically apply to journalism and journalists? Would you consider yourself journalist?
>> Press. Okay, >> great. Now, do you understand? No, I'm I'm Hold on one second. I'm not recording you. I just text when you were recording us and you post that. Now you're oppressed as soon as you just >> I understand that. I understand that.
But I didn't but I didn't know that initially because you just showed up.
You didn't say anything.
>> You didn't ask any questions, ma'am. You just started making demands of us.
>> Listen.
>> Okay, that's fine. I >> I had no idea. I just saw three masked men wearing masks, caps, and glasses to varying degrees >> just filming me, right? without asking anything, without saying anything.
Do you understand? We don't have to ask you anything. In today's climate, do you understand how threatening that is?
>> Ma'am, especially to people of color specifically.
>> Ma'am, we don't discriminate. I'm sorry.
I'm sorry. We don't discriminate. Not filming a black person. Hold on. Not filming a black person is discriminating.

>> That could be triggering for anyone.
>> Ma'am, we have everything that's happening.
>> We have really good conversations with a lot of people who aren't triggered like you >> who's especially with everything that's going on in ICE. We're in Southern California. ICE is all over the country.

That's why I asked who are you? I know that now, but before when I >> I don't owe you an answer.
>> You don't owe me an answer. But can you understand how you just being present in the way that you're present could be perceived as being threatening, which is why I called 911? I I would have to call 911 had I known that you were just doing what you do. If you come out of your van, ma'am, if you come out of your van, everybody has to make money >> and I'm presuming that you post this online for clicks and views and you generate some sort of income. Great. Go ahead. But in today's climate with everything going on, I feel like we all collectively need to be more mindful in how we treat one another.
>> So, we should change what we do.
>> I wasn't aggressive with you at all. I just asked you a question and the way you responded, >> ma'am, if you would have came out and asked us a question with this attitude, it would have been different.
>> Responded. I found it to be triggering.

>> You closed all your You closed all your doors. You close all your windows.
That's a reaction.
>> Nothing to do with you. And so if you think that me closing my doors is by me setting a boundary by closing my doors was somehow um you said something about me having an attitude. No, you did have an attitude.
That's me protecting myself and how you perceive it is how you perceive it, >> right? You're allowed to perceive it your way and so am I. I can perceive its come. They're going to tell me whatever they tell me. They're going to tell them whatever they tell them and you'll have whatever you have, whatever you need, >> right? And here you are put on your mask. That that's that's that's uh that's ironic. That's ironic. Clearly identify me. I have no idea who you are.

They go around >> amenders.
>> Um that's what the 911 dispatcher called calls them. They go around um filming people. They don't say anything. They just stand outside on public property. So, they're technically not committing a crime, but they stand outside wearing masks and caps and glasses and um they wait for people to respond to them and then they post the reactions online. I had never never heard of it, but this is what So, I didn't know who they were. I thought maybe they were I kept asking him like, "Who are you? Who are you? Who are you?" and he refused to tell me who he was. One guy seems to do most of the talking, but there are three of them right now. There are two recording me. And the guy is like the guy told me I had a bad attitude. He's trying to trigger me into having some kind of outburst. I suppose I'm sure I I I I suppose that that is what gets them clicks and views.
>> No, this gets us clicks and views. I would I would love to see you, but you know I I'm not asking you to drive all the way out here. I called the cops.
