“What if one is NOT a journalist?”

Doesn't make much difference. California is a 2-party consent state as far as making audio/visual recordings. Both parties have to have given their consent unless one is a LEO then the LEO is in effect exempt.

Doesn't the left remember the Pentagon Papers? They were secret documents about the Vietnam Ward that were leaked to the press. Courts ruled that, while the leaking of such information was a crime, once it is in the hands of the press, the First Amendment trumps the criminal statute.

The left thought this was the greatest ruling to come from the Supreme Court (other than Roe v Wade, which came a little later I think). This is exactly the same thing.

Interesting. So what is somebody makes a damning video, then has it released outside of California? Will Jerry stomp his feet and demand the Internet not permit the video to be seen in California? Wouldn’t surprise me.

Actually, the best bet would be to make the video, then put it on the Internet *outside* the US. It could even be dressed up and narrated to make it seem far worse that even it was.

“Gov. Jerry Brown Signs Bill Criminalizing Journalists Who Distribute Recordings of Abortion Providers”

This is a planned and willful political attack on the 1st Amendment, and Brown and the California legislature need to be arrested for treason.
