Comment Public Recording (Score 1) 1
Supreme court as upheld that any private citizen has the right to record video and audio of public officials in a public place, and that the arrest of the citizen for a wiretapping violation violates the citizen's First and Fourth Amendment rights.
Not sure if paramedics are considered "Public Officials" and where the HIPPA violation comes into play, but it was on public property and the press likely wouldn't have be charged with similar crimes if they were caught videotaping the same scenario, so I would certainly appeal any guilty verdict if it arises.
