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.
F**k you palosi and all Democrats thinking they can’t be shot.lol
She is a fool —
Where are our FREEDOMS going? And where will it end? People who have nothing to hide, hide nothing.
Sorry, but Public Servants, which are all elected officials, and anyone paid by taxes, should be under constant public scrutiny! That’s the only way to insure that corruption can be spotted, and rooted out, which tells us all that anyone against the public being informed as to their intentions and actions is either crooked, or on the path to being so.
That will be overturned.
They can p**s off
GOOD LUCK WITH THAT ONE.
