First Circuit -- Glik v. Cunniffe

The filming of government officials in a public space is a clearly established right under 1A - court did not err in denying qualified immunity.

Contradicts unpublished decision from the Fourth Circuit.

Despite the fact that the recording was done with a cell phone, sufficient notice for the police officers to have actual knowledge of the recording , defeating any violation of the Massachusetts wiretap statute.  No immunity for 4A violation.
