I went to vote today in Georgia USA. People showed up wearing bed sheets over them. What is this supposed to communicate exactly??

    Filming / photography in public is a First Amendment protected activity.

      In public (and only when one would have a reasonable assumption of privacy, or whatever). Poll places don’t follow those same rules. If they can prevent people from wearing campaign-related tshirts within X feet of a polling place, then they can prevent people from taking photos. Which they do.

      First ammendment doesn’t protect you from a baseball bat.
