Law's Atiba Ellis the legality of law enforcement's actions during protests

Legality of protesting actions of law enforcement

Spectrum News: Atiba Ellis, the Laura B. Chisholm Distinguished Research Scholar and professor of law, said protests against law enforcement are constitutionally protected but must stay within legal bounds. Speaking on "Capital This Week," Ellis explained that while dissent, including confrontation and disruption, can be lawful, actions that interfere with safety or cross into obstruction may lose First Amendment protection.
