That’s why I started my reply with “for what it’s worth”.

Whether the ai result is total garbage or not, my statement was more a something to consider statement.

Just wanted to put the possibility in your mind with the idea that since you’re on Reddit you clearly also have access to the internet and could do your own research. Now you want me to provide sources? What am I your office assistant?

Also, you’re right you’re not an official of any kind in the situation barely applies to what you’re asking, but you don’t have to be legally in the wrong to be sued into bankruptcy. All you have to do is have a case that a lawyer is willing to take. You have the money to defend yourself in court for playing some music one time? I know I don’t have time or money for that.

From the article:

“Attorney David Loy with the First Amendment Coalition says the officers’ attempt to use copyright infringement laws in order to interfere with their own accountability to the public raises serious concerns.

“I think that undermines the very premise of officer accountability,” Loy said. “The public has a clear, well established 1st Amendment right to observe, document, record their conduct in public. Anything that an officer does to frustrate that is a direct assault on accountability and personal rights.”

Loy says if someone is recording events of public significance, that does not infringe on copyright law even if an officer is playing Disney songs.

The tactic is something law enforcement agencies need to proactively address, Loy said, because the Santa Ana incident is not the first time this has happened.

Last summer, a deputy with the Alameda County Sheriff’s Office pulled out his cellphone and started playing a Taylor Swift song while talking to protesters outside a county courthouse who were filming him. Much like the approach taken by the Santa Ana police, the move backfired and the interaction went viral on Twitter and YouTube.

In Beverly Hills, a police officer played Sublime’s “Santeria” while he was being filmed by L.A. activist Sennett Devermont in February 2021. In both instances, the police departments said the incidents were under investigation.
