Several states have seen legal actions against First Amendment auditors when their conduct crosses into harassment or disorderly behavior, though courts generally protect recording in public spaces. Key examples include:
• Arizona: Chauncey Hollingberry was convicted of cyberstalking for targeting an attorney general’s office with harassment campaigns, showing how auditors can face charges when actions go beyond recording.
• New York: A journalist sued after being arrested for filming in a police precinct lobby, arguing the department’s recording ban violated state law and his First Amendment rights.
• Colorado: Auditors filming voters outside a government building were not cited for disruption, but their confrontational approach raised concerns about intimidating the public.
Important Context:
• Recording vs. Harassment: While filming in public is protected, auditors may be charged with disorderly conduct or harassment if their actions are deemed disruptive or targeted (e.g., repeated confrontations or threats).
• State Variations: Laws differ significantly—some states like California require consent for audio recording, while others are more permissive.
Key Takeaway: Auditors must balance their right to record with respect for privacy and local laws. Conduct that goes beyond peaceful documentation—such as targeting individuals or interfering with official duties—can lead to legal consequences
