Keep in mind, this is coming from a VERY LIBERAL guy in Jonathan Turley. Such behavior coming from federal agents sworn to uphold the Constitution is unconscionable.

Secret Service Warns Public That They Would Confiscate Any Cameras Used to Take Pictures of First Family

[john in springfield]

This is theft.

[meyer]

If they’re on public property or viewable from public places, they can be photographed. The first amendment guarantees this.

[Red in Blue PA]

And the reason for this? National Security?

WTH is wrong with this country? The govt can do whatever it pleases and our “representatives” are not accountable to us.

[CarolinaGOP]

Okay, someone has to say it. Why would anyone want to take a picture of the first family?!

[Nachum]

Apparently everyone in the audience was reaching for their cell phones to take a picture of the first lady and her kids. Must have freaked the security people out.

Got no beef with the Secret Service. Their just doing their job.

[VaRepublican]

Oh silly...he issued an executive order its the law now.

[blueyon]

Forgetabout annoying the first lady, the first lady is an annoyance

[Spirochete]

You have to fight them in court.

Most people can't afford it, so they just get steamrollered. Legal fees are one of the governments most potent weapons in their war against citizens.

[outofstyle]

Who is surprised? This is just the beginning. We will be living in an overt police state unless we take a stand now.

Sec.Service Warns Public That They'd Confiscate Any Cameras Used to Take Pictures of First Family

Sounds like a scene from a Godfather movie.

[matginzac]

Here we go!
The goon squads have formed and you WILL NOT photograph the anointed ones EVAH!!!!

[SMARTY]

Their pictures are a glut on the market. Who wants more?

[Siena Dreaming]

I bet this is about Michelle being sick and tired of having photos of her butt plastered all over the internet.

[throwback]

If you’re going to shoot pictures of strangers, why would you shoot pictures of ugly strangers?

[knarf]

If I understand correctly, it is bad juju to some tribes if you have your picture taken.

[lightman]

The Fourth Amendment crumbled with the twin towers on September 11, 2001.

[SevenofNine]

You know what we never hear about that other US president families I doubt Ronald Reagan and Nancy tell SS consficate camera

I think other US presidents would give autograph

Keep in mind, this is coming from a VERY LIBERAL guy in Jonathan Turley.

One of the very, VERY few on the left who was not exercising intellectual vacancy or willful ignorance during the Clinton impeachment. A gentleman and a scholar, one who took a good bit of heat from his own side time and time again.

If the First Family wishes to avoid pictures, they may want to watch the play on video rather than confiscating cellphones and cameras of citizens. I find it outrageous that the Secret Service would consider it within its authority to confiscate phones to avoid annoyance to the First Family.

He was this outraged when Clinton attempted to use Executive Privilege to keep Secret Service agents from being required to testify to their knowledge of matters before Congress or the court.

And he's stinkin' right -- if those cell phones, personal cameras are such an annoying problem for Her Heinie-ness and their princesses, they can wait and watch it in the comfort of the White House theater. Brudder.

[Cold Heat]

Fascism....Tyrants.....Arrogance.....
