BART: 1st Amendment Issues Mount Over Cell Shutdown

In 1967, the California Supreme Court ruled that a city couldn't prohibit
nondisruptive political activity inside a railroad station.
.
That was before cellular phones were invented and before the first BART
train rolled down the tracks. But it's a precedent the transit agency may
have to confront as it defends its decision to cut off cell service at the
site of an expected trackside protest last Thursday, and its long-standing
ban on "expressive activities" inside the fare gates.
.
BART says it might pull the plug on phone service again this afternoon to
counter plans for a 5 p.m. demonstration at Civic Center Station in San
Francisco, where a transit police officer fatally shot a knife-wielding
man July 3.
.
The legality of such a decision may soon arrive in court.
.
"This is new territory in the United States," said Gene Pilicinski,
executive director of the First Amendment Center at Vanderbilt University.
Although courts haven't addressed a government cell phone shut-off, he
said, "historically we have kept our hands off free expression. ... The
government has a very high ladder to climb."
.
Safety issues
.
By cutting off an entire mode of communication, "you're shutting down much
more speech than could possibly be related to a protest," said Michael
Risher, an American Civil Liberties Union lawyer. If BART is concerned
about passenger safety, he said, its focus should be to "prevent the
violence, not the speech."
