Please see corrections:

Ms. Tisdale, a citizen journalist, frequently attends and video records public meetings of public interest with public officials and announced candidates, e.g. city council meetings, county commission meetings, town halls, candidate debates, and candidate forums in north Georgia to publish on YouTube. Ms. Tisdale has been involved in multiple lawsuits against local government for violating the Georgia Open Meetings Act, one of which resulted in a settlement with the City of Cumming, and victory for then-Georgia Attorney General Sam Olens. Ms. Tisdale has experienced first-hand the attempts by law enforcement officers to suppress her rights. Ms. Tisdale was arrested for recording a public political rally hosted by Georgia Governor Nathan Deal in Dawson County under the pretext of “criminal trespass” and “obstruction of an officer.” Ms. Tisdale has sought recourse against the Dawson County deputies who arrested her pursuant to a civil lawsuit for retaliatory arrest.
