Certiorari Denied

Petition for certiorari denied on February 20, 2024.

Docket No.23-227
Op. Below8th Cir.

Issue

(1) Whether words printed on clothing are pure speech, and thus presumptively entitled to First Amendment protection, or whether they are protected only if they convey a "particularized message;" (2) whether, in light of important new historical evidence, this court should reconsider the doctrine of qualified immunity; and (3) whether the court of appeals erred in holding that a First Amendment right to unobtrusively observe and record police performing their duties in public is not clearly established.
