Montana Supreme Court hears arguments in case about filming policeIn July 2022, Doman was riding his bike through a Kalispell neighborhood when he saw Kalispell Police Department Officer Dustin Willey conducting a traffic stop.
The interaction eventually led to Doman's arrest and a legal challenge that reached the Montana Supreme Court.
He appealed the conviction to Flathead County District Court and finally to the Montana Supreme Court.
