First Amendment Advocates Call HALO Act Dangerous. Last evening on NightSide, we spoke about the HALO Act, a legislative bill aimed at creating a buffer zone for first responders to be able to conduct their job responsibilities without interference from bystanders and had MA Rep. Richard Wells on the program, a supportive of the bill who says the measure would keep police and bystanders safe. Some first amendment advocates disagree, calling the Act “dangerous.” One of their main arguments is that a buffer zone would make it more difficult for people to record police, which, in some instances, has provided evidence of misconduct. Greg Sullivan, the president of the New England First Amendment Coalition joins us this evening to explain.
