Can a public school punish me for online speech in Utah?
My child was suspended for off-campus social media posts at a Indianapolis school. Is filming the police protected under federal law in Utah?

Civil-rights cases in Utah are usually federal-court cases governed by complex doctrines (qualified immunity, Monell, Heck v. Humphrey) that knock most pro-se filings out at the motion-to-dismiss stage. Get experienced civil-rights counsel early — the procedural rules are unforgiving and the defenses are powerful.
