ACLU-DE Warns A.G. Jennings and General Assembly That Draft Loitering Legislation Remains Unconstitutional - ACLU of Delaware ACLU of Delaware sent a letter to A.G. Kathy Jennings and the DE G.A., warning that the draft bill revising the State's loitering statute is unconstitutional.

Today, we sent a letter to Attorney General Jennings and the Delaware General Assembly, urging them to stop the bill's introduction: www.aclu-de.org/press-releas...

We've said it before and we'll say it again: ๐Ÿ“ข 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.

A few important reminders:
โ€ข You must be in a place youโ€™re legally allowed to be
โ€ข You cannot interfere with police activity
โ€ข Officers cannot delete your footage
โ€ข They generally need a warrant to search your phone

The Constitution doesnโ€™t turn off when you press โ€œrecord.โ€

Courts across the country have affirmed that recording police officers performing their duties in public spaces is a constitutional right. That right is a critical tool for transparency, accountability, and public trust.

๐Ÿ“ฑ 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.

๐Ÿšจ If you haven't heard, Laurel Police have voluntarily shared a list of addresses where they encountered Haitian immigrants with the FBI. No warrant and no clear motive for the request. This is racial profiling. Full stop.

ACLU-DE Corporate Voting Lawsuit Explained! โš–๏ธ

๐Ÿšจ In Fenwick Island, the number of artificial entities registered to vote in their last election was nearly equal to the margin that decided the last election. They may have cast decisive votes, picking the winner.
