Tech and Amendment Essay The first amendment states that art is protected by freedom of speech. I do believe that everyone should have their right to have freedom of speech, but when it comes down to a song written about a confessed crime, I think the police should investigate more into the case rather than to hear the song and charge them. Some people express their feelings a little differently than others, sometimes in a way that seems violent or alarming… But just because they write a song…
