Photography at a public event on private property is no different than photography on a city sidewalk or city park. 1st Amendment protections apply to freedom of expression and press.
This is correct. When you announce and advertise an event is open to the general public to attend, then you cannot restrict their 1st amendment rights.
If the event holder obtained a permit and it was a permitted event, then the permit holder or a duly authorized agent of the permit holder could have the right to bar photography, restrict entry or eject anyone at any time for any reason.
After all the arguments are in I don’t see how Judge Oliver can let this case go to trial. No one at the rally had the authority to restrict her from recording the event.
Rest assured, I will watch this in it’s entirety.
