Turner v. Driver
Court United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit
Decided February 16, 2017[1]

Turner v. Driver, No. 16-10312 (5th Cir. 2017), is a 2017 decision of the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit that established a First Amendment right to record the police.[2][3][1][4] One of the officers involved was criminally indicted for a similar incident around the same time.[5]

The court found that:

We conclude that First Amendment principles, controlling authority, and persuasive precedent demonstrate that a First Amendment right to record the police does exist, subject only to reasonable time, place, and manner restrictions.[2]
