Reyes v. City of New York

Summary

The New York Court of Appeals answered a certified question from the Second Circuit, holding that neither the State Civil Rights Law § 79‑p nor the City Administrative Code § 14‑189 grants a private right to record police activity inside the publicly accessible lobbies of police stationhouses. The Court based its decision on statutory interpretation, legislative history, and the absence of any intent to extend the right to such interior spaces.
