Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.

4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.


Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content.

If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.

“I stand for my beliefs,” Spud said after the two were separated. “I’m going to peacefully stand here and support my beliefs. I support ICE and law enforcement,” Spud said.

“You can go peacefully f–k yourself!” the student who punched Spud yells.

What a legend.

“That’s against school code. No swearing in the school,” Spud responds.

And what a weasel.

It's funny how they always support rules and laws when they benefit them, but ICE breaking the constitution multiple times per day isn't an issue.

fascists don't believe in law, they believe in power

Weaponized decency, it’s a tool to them not an ideal.

Don't forget they recorded minors without consent for 40 seconds.

[–] titanicx@lemmy.zip 7 points 18 hours ago (2 children)

This depends on the state laws. You have no reasonable right to privacy in a public setting in most states and schools are considered public locations. There is usually paperwork at the beginning of school that a parent signs that says something along those lines. Now when it comes to minor filming another minor, that adds another whole layer to it. But what could happen is someone could go on insta and request a takedown of the video if they felt they were filmed inappropriately.

Schools aren't full public settings, but limited public forums. First and Fourth Amendment protections are much lower, for example.

And, yes, student expectations of privacy are lower, but a lot of things (like filming other students) are restricted for safety and to avoid "substantial disruption" of the learning environment. It isn't legally justified by them being minors. Filming minors in public is generally legal.

This kid would be in trouble for violating school rules around filming (or laws against stalking or something, but that doesn't apply here).

Legally, however, it could be argued that if his IG or tiktok or whatever is monetized, he's filming for commerical purposes, which would require permits/releases, but that's not what they're focusing on here, either.

And that's not getting into potential FERPA violations and the like. Anyway, schools are an odd space, legally.

On Tuesday – after the district’s four-day weekend – school officials spoke with Spud and gave him a one-day in-school suspension (ISS) for video recording in the school.

[–] nwtreeoctopus@sh.itjust.works 2 points 16 hours ago

Are there laws about needing consent to film minors?
