Photographer loses First Amendment claim in Oakland

RCFP: Photographer loses First Amendment claim in Oakland:

"Chavez claimed in his lawsuit that the police had interfered with his First Amendment right to cover vehicle accidents. In granting summary judgment for the city, U.S. District Judge Charles R. Breyer said members of the press do not have a First Amendment right to access accident scenes when the general public is also excluded."
