Patriot Picket Civil Rights Suit FILED!

[Occam]

Relevant.

Is the 10th Circuit's ruling actually relevant here in the 4th circuit?

Is the 10th Circuit's ruling actually relevant here in the 4th circuit?

It’s persuasive. The circuits have been pretty consistent that there is an established 1A right to record police.

The hits just keep on a comin’ gents

Hopefully another nail in Froshhole’s coffin

 

[swinokur]

This ruling is Jeff Hulbert approved

Hopefully the 4CA agrees

Semper Fi

This behavior of squashing people's rights has to stop. I just donated $100 to MSI last week I'll donate again here shortly.

Relevant most certainly, but filming wasn't the BIG issue. Freedom of speech was. The 4th needs to reign in qualified immunity. (which was legislation from the bench).

Sgt Pope weeps

Frosh is inconsolable.

Frosh is inconsolable.

I guess I need to think about a sequel to my Frosh Reacts To Bruen video.

 

[swinokur]

Yes!

And IMO The Bench is one of the first places to remove Qualified Immunity. That would stop a LOT of feelgood "legislation".

Warming up this thread in anticipation of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit requesting all parties to appear for oral argument in the next few months.

This YouTube video below may be of special interest to those of us here who are Federal civil rights plaintiffs* in the Patriot Picket (PP)/Maryland Shall Issue (MSI) lawsuit.

THE VIDEO HAS BEEN VIEWED MORE THAN 4.4 MILLION TIMES.

NOTE: this video specifically references our Federal civil rights lawsuit at about the halfway point, beginning just after the 7:40 minute mark:




*Plaintiffs in this case - - titled “HULBERT V. POPE” - - include my brother Clay Hulbert, who is representing the estate of my late brother Jeff, who passed away in May 2021 (Jeff was lead plaintiff when the lawsuit was filed in February 2018), me, and all 2500+ members of Maryland Shall Issue (MSI).

Discussing similar or nearly identical Federal civil rights cases and controversies, this video offers an excellent explanation of the FIRST AMENDMENT right of the public to record audio and video of the police in the public performance of their duties, a key element of our lawsuit, currently pending on appeal.

Also well explained is the “interlocutory appeal” - - the legal maneuver Maryland Attorney General Frosh ordered in the Spring of 2021 in the State’s defense of Sgt. Pope in our case.

Good luck!

Filming has been recognized in several courts as part of our first amendment right. It’s not just the 5th, but the 1st and 7th also. Possibly others by now as well. If any case would ever go to SCOTUS I can’t foresee any ruling that denies our right to film police in public.

With so many 1A auditors across the country, I don’t see how LEO anywhere have plausible deniability on this issue anymore. That would be a complete failure in their ongoing training. The $ amount of settlements due to illegal arrests is staggering.

Filming the Police

Federal appellate courts have ruled that people have a First Amendment right to film police interactions with citizens.

If you can get that acknowledged here, this SCOTUS ruling may help a 1983 case, and remove qualified immunity. They pretty much strengthened QI, except where constitutional rights are involved.

“In City of Tahlequah v. Bond, the Supreme Court reminds us that qualified immunity protects “all but the plainly incompetent or those who knowingly violate the law.”

With two new rulings, the Supreme Court repeated previous guidance to keep qualified immunity decisions specific to the facts of each case.

Could that ruling from SCOTUS be used in the case against Montgomery County and the MGA and removed their qualified immunity thus subject to a 1983 action?

 

[Deep Lurker]

The Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals notified us at 11am this morning that oral argument in our pending case “Hulbert v. Pope” has been scheduled during the May 3 - 5, 2023 argument session In Richmond.

The precise day, time and courtroom will be announced at a later date.

It’s been 5 years and 5 days since our arrest, and we will finally see the inside of a courtroom for the first time this May.

Great news

 

[GTOGUNNER]

A right delayed is a right denied. MLK

 

[motorcoachdoug]

That is very good news but why did it take so blessed long time?

 

[Afrikeber]

Geez I briefly remember when that occurred…..it has been a long journey!

Good luck!!
