National Parks Cancel Freedom of Speech for YouTubers

Park Junkie would love to say its all fun and games out there in our parks and public lands... But at the end of the day, these are lands that are administered by the Federal Government. A recent ruling handed down by a Federal Court demonstrates that the fight for public access and freedoms on these lands is never without challenge.
Check out my latest blog post on the issue here:

This story involves the First Amendment rights of Free Speech and Freedom of the Press that the National Park Service has moved to suspend from public lands with their recent restructuring of Commercial Filming requirements.
The case of Price v. Barr involves an independent filmmaker named Gordon Price, who was given a citation for filming parts of his Crawford Road film in Colonial National Historic Park, near Yorktown, Virginia. Mr Price challenged the NPS on First Amendment grounds and won an initial case in 2021. However, the NPS appealed the case and a Federal Appeals court sided with the Government in late August of 2022.
The NPS subsequently updated their commercial filming regulations to EXPLICITLY name RUclipsrs and TikTokers among those who now must obtain a commercial film permit on NPS land.
Park Junkie breaks down his opinions on this ruling in this video.
