The fact city council members think they can supersede or override the constitution just means they all need to go. The fact that the public is allowed to observe the meeting means they can record it, because anywhere the public is allowed to go the press is allowed to go.
Citizens have tried! County won’t do anything because of the “good ol’ boy system” and the state did a cursory glance and things and said “looks like it’s on the up and up to us!” 🙄
The lawyer glossed right over the first part. It says the only reason the government can restrict recording is to prevent disruption. Sitting quietly recording does not interfere with the meeting
It is a violation. This is what the code says In Alabama, the Open Meetings Act (OMA) allows governmental bodies to adopt reasonable rules to maintain order during meetings. This includes rules regarding the location of recording equipment and the way recordings are conducted. The OMA applies to almost all governmental bodies in the state, with the exception of courts. He left out what is considered reasonable. 😏
@BrownSugar1125 Maybe maybe not, just because they pass an amendment of some kind doesn't means it constitutional(i know you guys know this)😉 However you may have to take the ride, go to jail, court then hopefully win WITHOUT an appeal needed That's when we pass the hat 💰

"no recording devices allowed in public" Last time I checked, my EYES still act as a CAMERA, and my BRAIN is still RECORDING places and events through my EYES; Question: So how do you respond to someone who insists you CLOSE YOUR EYES and TURN OFF YOUR BRAIN? Answer: "You first."
The Alabama Open Meetings Act allows open meetings to be recorded by any person in attendance by means of a tape recorder or any other means of sonic, photographic or video reproduction provided the recording does not disrupt the conduct of the meeting. Ala. Code § 36-25A-6.
8:20 guy thinks he's making a case for the government. Case law says the government can't restrict recording because of "how somebody may edit it." 8:37 - those exact words will be played in court during the lawsuit
Oh My God. It is shocking that the lawyer has twisted a law that has nothing to do with recording a meeting to say that it says nothing about recording a meeting and then using that justification to say recording is not allowed.
😂 8:00 the way this guy's brain works....😂 Because one person is accused of recording the meetings, editing the video and manipulating public opinion your solution is to infringe on the rights of everyone to record? The solution should be that you live stream the entire meeting😂... You are obviously corrupt and are breaking laws that you don't want people to see 😂why else would you be fighting so hard to prevent people from seeing😂😂😂
Interesting, an elected official says if you have a problem come to me, don't go to the news. See when you hold office, it gives you power. Normal citizens have to use tools to deal with that. Namely, the news. That's our power. Glad the meeting was disrupted, no one should stand by and let a group of politicians take their power away.
Geeez Louise. That was a whole clown show. Great job exposing that circus. I do hope you go back. I bet the public info request for their emails would be interesting.

wow I thought I have seen backwards in my life and yes this is backwards.. They shut down their facebook page and they restricted who has access to the page
Please go back during normal city hall business hours and find out why the city clerk (who is related to the mayor pro-tem) moved into the mayors office. And check out the council agendas and ask why they are going to vote on a city-provided car for the city clerk!
Can”t you go back to the court which passed the ruling like Smith v. Cummings and request that any government agency which violates the ruling and ask that the agency held in contempt of court or other action???
The fact city council members think they can supersede or override the constitution just means they all need to go. The fact that the public is allowed to observe the meeting means they can record it, because anywhere the public is allowed to go the press is allowed to go.
