The purpose of the Right to Record Act of 2026 is to strengthen the rights of individuals to record, observe, and peacefully protest law enforcement activities. This legislation aims to ensure that these rights are explicitly protected and that there are legal remedies available for those whose rights are violated. Key provisions of the Act establish that individuals have the right to record and observe law enforcement actions in public settings, as well as to protest peacefully. If a federal law enforcement officer violates these rights, they can be held liable in civil court.
