Bloggers can have the 1st amendament protection.

Thanks for the logical understanding of the citizen's concern and their rights against the tyranny. I think the filming of police officers on public duty and free speech can help to protect the opinions and experiences of the minorities. Otherwise, the police can make up a story to detain a minority who might not have a chance to oppose against the majority. It's the power matter of police + government vs citizens + journalists. I hope both sides got equal level power to monitor the balance of each side.

The court ruling also made it clear that bloggers who report news based on their recordings of police have equal protection under the law as journalists.
