Wouldn’t this just be a regular lawsuit? Why do you need the ACLU?

>>mrfusi+8s
This...is a regular lawsuit?

This is why people donate to the ACLU. So that they can do the extensive work, pay lawyers, etc.

I feel like we should save ACLU resources for winning new freedoms or taking back lost freedoms. (Not that This isnt a noble cause. )

>>mrfusi+Et
That's exactly what's going on here. The press has a constitutional right to report. This lawsuit alleges that the police violated that right. And not just once, but systemically.

Now they're suing to take back that lost freedom. If they don't, then what's to stop this continuing to be the norm?

I can't think of a clearer example of what the ACLU exists to do.
