Score one for civil liberties
ST. LOUIS (AP) — A federal judge has issued court orders that prevent Missouri police from stopping media and others from recording officers.
The court order follows a lawsuit from the American Civil Liberties Union that said police tried to stop journalists from recording in Ferguson, where protests have been ongoing since 18-year-old Michael Brown was fatally shot by a police officer in August.
The order comes as the public waits for a grand jury decision on whether to indict the officer, who is white. Brown, who was black, was unarmed.
