It was an undercover video of cattle abuse at an Idaho dairy, after all, that inspired state lawmakers to pass the stat- ute in 2014. During oral arguments this month about the law’s consti- tutionality before the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Seattle, Judge Mary Marga- ret McKeown approached the matter from an angle that didn’t involve dairy cows. “It could apply to beekeep- ing too, right? So does a bee- hive have a privacy interest?” McKeown asked Idaho’s dep- uty attorney general, Carl Withroe. Withroe acknowledged that beehives would be covered by the statute but said they prob- ably lack the right to personal privacy. However, the farmer does have the right to control who enters his property and to exclude those who want to record its operations without permission, he said. The judge seemed to think that argument was beside the point. “But that’s trespass, not pri- vacy, that you’re talking about,” she said, later adding that “cor- porations don’t have a privacy interest.” McKeown’s observation that “it keeps coming down to trespass” could be problem- atic for Idaho’s defense of the law, which was struck down nearly two years ago by a fed- eral judge who found it violated free speech rights. Trespass is already prohib- ited by Idaho law in the legit- imate interest of protecting private property, while other statutes aim to protect peo- ple from defamation, theft and fraud, according to the Animal Legal Defense Fund. The defense fund claims the real goal of the “ag gag” law, on the other hand, is the ille- gitimate purpose of suppress- ing speech that casts a negative light on the farm industry. As for privacy rights, the law’s opponents argue that farms are effectively “industrial facilities” that don’t have the same expectations of privacy as people. Idaho’s lawyers counter that the law simply requires people to obtain a farmer’s permission to enter his property and ﬁ lm operations without misrepre- senting who they are. The statute regulates the ability to use a tool, such as a camera, on private property, rather than restricting “expres- sive conduct,” according to Idaho. “There is no First Amend- ment right to make those recordings in the ﬁ rst place,” said Withroe. Since the law simply restricts the ability to record on private property, without dis- tinguishing between favorable and unfavorable coverage, the regulation is impartial regard- ing content and thus doesn’t violate free speech rights, he said. Judge Carlos Bea seemed skeptical of this argument, not- ing that people who violate the statute must pay the farmer double the amount of losses caused by the crime in resti- tution — a requirement that’s unlikely to be triggered by a positive portrayal. “It isn’t viewpoint-neu- tral. It’s directed to the opera- tions only, and only to pejora- tive reports of the operations,” Bea said. Though Idaho’s legal theory was subject to much of the tough questioning by the three 9th Cir- cuit judges, they also pushed back against some arguments by the Animal Legal Defense Fund’s attorney, Justin Marceau. Speciﬁ cally, the judges inquired about provisions of the law that prohibit using mis- representation to gain access to records, obtain employment or economically harm the farm. At one point, Judge Richard Tallman wondered whether the defense fund could live with a narrower injunction against the Idaho law than the cur- rent order entirely blocking its enforcement.
