A journalist arrested while trying to document a protest outside the Trump International Hotel Las Vegas in 2017 argued Wednesday to a Ninth Circuit Court of Appeal panel that he was factually correct when he disagreed with an officer that he couldn’t film on private property and he had a constitutional right to argue.
“The principles underlying this case are the facts that a member of the public does have a right to disagree with police and officers are not entitled to stop, detain, arrest or use force against citizens to make the citizen listen to them until the citizen agrees,” said Maggie McLetchie of McLetchie Law during oral arguments at the Ninth Circuit’s Phoenix, Arizona, courtroom on Wednesday.
