New York law doesn’t permit filming in NYPD precinct lobbies, court rules
New York's highest court ruled that citizens cannot film in NYPD precinct lobbies, despite state and city laws protecting the recording of public police activity. The decision, which dismissed a lawsuit by YouTuber SeanPaul Reyes, cited privacy concerns for crime victims and the legislative intent of the Right to Record Acts, which were not designed to cover filming inside police stations.
