We've said it before and we'll say it again: 📢 The Constitution is NOT a suggestion. The current draft of the state loitering bill violates both the U.S. and DE constitutions, including the 4th and 8th Amendments, which protect us from unwarranted searches and seizures & excessive fines and fees.

📱 You have the right to record in public. The First Amendment protects the right to gather information about what public officials do on public property and that includes law enforcement. 1/3
