on Thursday, looking at whether a passenger in a vehicle detained by North Carolina police is allowed to livestream the encounter despite the officer saying it was against the law.A three-judge panel deliberated for an hour about how to resolve a dispute between the right to record police in public and restrictions set by officers for their safety in investigations.

Sharpe is a black man who said he was a victim of police abuse just months prior to the traffic stop, per court records.
