JUST IN: James O’Keefe Wins HUGE Lawsuit in Oregon: Court Rules Anti-Recording Law Unconstitutional
The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals overturned the law that prohibits recording in the state of Oregon.
James O’Keefe and Project Veritas filed the lawsuit in Portland, Oregon back in 2020.
In Project Veritas vs Schmidt, the organization argued it had a right to engage in undercover journalism and record people without their consent.
“WON in Ninth Circuit – Federal Appeals Court STRIKES DOWN Oregon criminal recording law” James O’Keefe said boasting about his win.
“It violates the 1st amendment right to free speech, INVALID ON ITS FACE” – the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals said in its ruling.
“Oregon Revised Statute 165.540(1)(c). This law prohibited anyone from making an audio recording unless that person “specifically informed” others they were recording.
