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.
Cannot legally intercept calls or texts without a warrant. Can fill citizens in public.
The Supreme Court ruled THREE times that you can fill police in their duties.
Politicians are in the same class as lawyers , I don’t even consider them as humans more like pond scum they will always protect each other so they can continue their vile and evil ways
How would they get back an forth hom
I don’t want random people recording me, but I think its a violation of 1st amendment,especially politicians need to be”kept honest”
F**k-em and their pet goat !!!
They are trying to get a civil war here while Trump is the President. These idiots walking around causing problems have one thing in common Obama lovers.
Screw the federal court, WE HAVE EVERY RIGHT, it’s the government that doesn’t have that right!
Well there you go judicial and political tyranny!!!!!!!
Since When? Good luck enforcing that
