In October 2019, the Bloomington Minnesota City Council approved an ordinance proscribing the photography and recording of children in city parks. The ordinance provides that in city parks, "[n]o person shall intentionally take a photograph or otherwise record a child without the consent of the child's parent or guardian." A violation is punished as a petty misdemeanor…..
If the act of making a photograph or recording is to facilitate speech that will follow, the act is a step in the "speech process," and thus qualifies itself as speech protected by the First Amendment,
