LAPD put out a video to tell the public when they can and cannot express their 1st Amendment Rights. 

LAPD teamed up with the Radio & Television News Association of Southern California to produce “informative videos” to explain how journalists can “work together.” 

The result was a clear explanation on video that LAPD are controlling the first amendment rights to speech, assembly and freedom of the press

LAPD released the video on Twitter soon after activists, expressing their first amendment right to assemble in protest of the Echo Park homeless crackdown, met what seemed to be every Los Angeles Police Department law enforcement officer on duty. 

The California Constitution guarantees freedom of speech. The California Shield Law protects the right to film police. 

The First Amendment to the United States Constitution guarantees these rights and press freedom. 

The LAPD hates the first amendment. Let’s talk about it.
