Question Presented (AI Summary)

Whether a municipality's imposition of overbroad restrictions violates the First Amendment's guarantees of freedom of speech and press, whether a state court's reliance on a flawed record violates procedural due process, and whether the Fourth Amendment is violated when a citizen recording in a public forum is detained without legitimate purpose

Question Presented (OCR Extract)

1. Whether a municipality's imposition of overbroad and restrictions —including a permanent ban from a public forum, the denial of press credentials, and a prior restraint on the right to record public officials —violates the First Amendment's guarantees of freedom of speech and press. 2. Whether a state court's reliance on a fundamentally flawed record to grant summary judgment, along with its failure to resolve genuine issues of material fact and apply binding precedent, violates the Fourteenth Amendment's guarantee of procedural due process. 3. Whether the Fourth Amendment's protection against unreasonable seizures is violated when a citizen, peacefully recording in a public forum, is handcuffed and detained without a legitimate law enforcement purpose, and whether a state court's failure to address this claim constitutes a grave legal error warranting reversal.
