Colorado Politics: The Colorado-based federal appeals court sided with two Denver police officers on Tuesday, finding they were entitled to immunity outright or to a second look at their arguments in a lawsuit over a man’s arrest for video recording at a police station.

There was no dispute that a sign was posted on the window of the District 5 station in northeast Denver prohibiting video recording “in” the facility. The question was whether Officers Sergey Gurevich and Julie Weinheimer had grounds to arrest Kevin Detreville while he was standing in an enclosed entryway leading to the lobby and recording on his cell phone.

Previously, a judge advanced three of Detreville’s claims to a jury trial. He concluded the defendants did not explicitly argue they were entitled to qualified immunity, which is a judicial doctrine shielding government employees from civil lawsuits unless they violate a person’s clearly established rights.
