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.

But goverment can spy on citizens sounds like socialism
B******t!
Not right
As long as we pay your salarys we tell you what you can do

When the government has all the power no one is safe. The duty of the govermment is to protect its citizens not run their lives. The level of government’s deception and lies are deeper than what people thinks.
Don’t let traitors destroy your contitutionsl rights. When the government has all the power, no one is safe. This judge should be in prison.
Pretend legislation.
