It is a very carefully and completely written opinion obviously anticipating either an en banc appeal or an appeal to the US SC. The latter would be interesting whether the SC would grant cert. They might decide there is no error, nothing to review and let it go. Or they could accept it to make the points even more strongly about freedom of speach while ultimately affirming the decision. Or they could reverse, which seems very unlikely given the care with which the opinion is written.
Not so fast. It is now a majority conservative court after a long list of retirements and Trump appointments. It is no longer your father's 9th circus.
This has huge implications for non-single-party-consent recording states.
God Bless Him! :-)
Yeah I know, a SHOCK to have anything right coming out of the 9th Circus.
Trump did get to appoint some judges to the 9th though, didn’t he?
The State of Oregon argued that, because they had not sought to prosecute Project Veritas, that Project Veritas was not injured and, therefore, lacked standing.
Project Veritas argued, and two of the three members of the appeals panel agreed, that the law was invalid on its face in that it chilled Project Veritas' exercise of its 1st Amendment rights by just being on the books.
In the 9th Circus yet, and they have a similar law in Maryland, I’ve heard. Now there’s a precedent, which could start momentum in other jurisdictions.
I was being hit up for a bribe by an inspector in Florida. I was told that recording him without his knowledge would be a serious crime and I would not be able to use the recording in any case.
Instead, I went to the office and loudly described my problem and demanded another inspector. Someone came right out and signed off the paperwork. Incidentally, the guy heading up the office was fired for taking bribes. Everyone knew all about the department. The head guy politically attacked someone else and they used that to fire him.
This is actually sad news.
Think about this for a second, how many other journalists today do real:
-—Investigative reporting?
-—Act in the role of a watchdog?
-—Have any courage and are willing to take it on the nose?
Don’t get me wrong, I think O’Keefe is a hero and he has done great things. What’s sad is that there is so little of this!
Today you need to go to the fringes of the Internet, look at folks that have been in FaceBook jail, or are labeled as conspiracy theorists within the journalism industry (example: Infowars) to get anything other than corporate/government agreed upon messaging on all the major issues: Covid, Ukraine, Climate change...
Great story!
Seems that a law against recording someone without their knowledge mostly protects the criminal.

Then how are people supposed to lie about stuff?
Judge Ikuta appointed by GW Bush, clerked under Sandra Day O’Connor.
I am with you. This seems so bazaar.
High five!
Kinda on this subject...
Had a neighbor’s kid(<10) video record another neighbor’s kid at the park and
his Mom posted a still on my neighborhood FB group accusing
“the little shit” of making racist remarks
I pulled the post citing bad form for posting w/o parents consent then mom
posted the entire video on ticktock(I have not seen nor looked for it)
My guess is there is a whole nother issue with recording and posting videos of minors.

This is worth celebrating!!
Yes, I’d say recording and posting videos of a minor that isn’t yours is a totally different animal.
If there isn’t, there should be a law against that.
That was either most excellent sarcasm...
...or you don’t know anything about Oregon.
The Nutty Ninth has begun to regain a little bit of legal sanity. Hope it continues this way. America will be a better place if it does.
