    In Legal Terms: Legal Protests

    We treasure our right to protest, but where is the line between protest and harassment? When does your right to speak your mind turn into a criminal offence? We’ll learn with Joshua Tom, Legal Director, ACLU of Mississippi. Today’s Legal Terms on In Legal Terms are: First Amendment, Public Forum, Time, Place, and Manner RestrictionsACLU.org has a Know your rights: protesters rights page. There’s a PDF for organizing a protest or attending one. There’s information about taking pictures or videos, sharing information on social media, and if you get stopped by the police while protesting.I love our show because we try to stay topical. I’ve come across two news articles with information about cars - that In Legal Terms has already covered. I read about a theft of two guns from an unlocked vehicle in the Tupelo area. If you listened to our show about Gun Rights, you would have known what a problem that is. I’ve also come across a notification about the Touch Law – 30 states now have laws against touching your phone while you drive – these 30 states include Alabama, Tennessee, and Louisiana. But if you were an In Legal Terms listener you already knew about this law.  In Legal Terms, the show where we break down the law, explain how it works, and help make it a little less intimidating for everyday Mississippians hosted by attorney Adam Kilgore. legalterms@mbponline.org If you enjoyed listening to this podcast, please consider contributing to MPB: https://donate.mpbfoundation.org/mspb/podcast   You can listen LIVE to us from the MPB Public Media app or from MPBonline.org/radio Thursdays, following our over-the-air broadcast, you can hear Next Stop Mississippi on MPB Think Radio at 4pm Central.
