With the advent of cellphones as a standard device carried by hundreds of millions daily, the ability of citizens to film police and politicians in public settings has increased accountability for those holding positions of public trust.
Unfortunately, a growing trend of judicial tyranny could curtail a person’s right to access their phone to suddenly film an event unfolding before them in a public setting.
First Amendment rights advocates argue that the right to film public events should never be abrogated, given the protections of the U.S. Constitution.
But with the judiciary having more statist judges in place, it’s become more challenging to protect these most basic rights.
In the federal Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals in Missouri, a recent ruling has struck down the right to film public officials in a public setting. On the next page, learn how the dispute may have to head to the Supreme Court to get resolved.
So what are you all afraid off don’t do anything wrong no problem
Fk this court ruling , we pay the.salaries of these elected officials as well as the police. Therefore they work for us so WE CAN record them the same way our employewayrecord ua while we are.at work.
It must come from the mainstream media. We will tell you what to believe, what you can see and what you can read? Communist much
Yeh??!!!
Guess what? They will get filmed whether they like it or not…and lose in court too.
Good. They should all die, and very painfully at that. One bad apple spoils the whole bunch, so it’s time to throw them all out.
In public, yes you may!
LOL! Just try to stop us!

These judges have got to go. Put judges in that follow the Constitution.
