flag Montana Supreme Court upholds Doman’s conviction for refusing to move during a traffic stop recording, citing lawful police commands over recording rights.

flag The Montana Supreme Court unanimously upheld the 2022 conviction of Sean Doman, a Kalispell man arrested for obstructing a peace officer while recording a traffic stop. flag The court ruled that Doman’s refusal to comply with lawful orders to move away from the scene—despite multiple warnings—justified his arrest, even though he had a right to record police activity. flag While acknowledging the importance of public recording, the justices said such rights do not override lawful police commands. flag The decision, based on evidence that Doman’s conduct interfered with law enforcement, was unanimous, with Justice Jim Shea praising the officer’s calm demeanor during the encounter.
