LAist: Justin Levitt, a professor at LMU Loyola Law School, says that public employees do have constitutional rights, but that they are in fact more limited than those of private citizens — particularly when they intersect with their official duties. “Even something that somebody says or does on their off hours, which might be entirely protected for other members of the public, becomes troublesome when they’re connected to the exercise of a police officer or sheriff’s duties on the job,” Levitt says.
