Summary
The Right to Record Act of 2026 gives people a statutory cause of action when federal law‑enforcement officers unlawfully prevent them from recording, watching, or peacefully protesting police activity. Victims can recover at least $25,000 per violation, plus possible punitive damages, and the United States can be held liable as well. The bill also requires annual training for federal officers on respecting these rights.
