Summit Daily: The town of Silverthorne agreed to pay a settlement of $9,500 after police asked a man filming inside the Silverthorne Post Office to leave.
On February 24, a YouTube channel called Amagansett Press posted a 51 minute edited video of a man and his son entering the post office on a “First Amendment audit,” to see if “these folks honor and respect our right to take video and photographs in public and from publicly accessible places.”
In the video, a man named Jason Gutterman walked inside and began filming P.O. boxes and bulletin boards before making his way into the main office. A post office employee and several customers asked the man to stop filming and leave. When he refused, officers with the Silverthorne Police Department arrived to handle the situation, leading to a lengthy and somewhat contentious conversation.
