Project Veritas v. Vasquez
Pending petition
Issues: (1) Whether the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit erred by holding that Oregon’s prohibition of unannounced recordings – which expressly exempts recordings of police activity and discussions during certain felonies – is content-neutral and thus subject only to intermediate scrutiny; and (2) whether, even if Oregon’s law is content-neutral, it fails intermediate scrutiny because it restricts unannounced audio recording in wholly public settings where privacy interests are minimal or nonexistent.
