NEW YORK — Federal officers who patrol the perimeters of federal courthouses across the country will be reminded that members of the public can shoot pictures and videos in public spaces outside the buildings, according to the terms of the settlement of a lawsuit brought by a photographer who was arrested.
The settlement announced Monday was a victory for the First Amendment, the New York Civil Liberties Union said. The photographer, Antonio Musumeci of Edgewater, N.J., was arrested as he videotaped a political protest in a public plaza. The charges were later dropped.
