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.
Whatever happened to “no legal expectation of privacy when in public???”
F**k the FED.
Courts do not make the laws.
Wanna bet,$#%&!@*?!?
MORE KKK FROM YOUR DEMOCRATIC PARTY…
So with all the crimes , corruption and scandals with politicians and law enforcement these crooks are Trying to Remove and or Limit Americans Rights and Freedoms basicly to Cover-up their Crimes.
Pelosi is / will spearhead these Unconstitutional crimes due to her being called out by so many for her crimes and corruption.
Patriots Have to Stand against these corrupt politicians and violent hate groups in order to Regain Law and Order in America.
Who and why did they make that law? ????
They got something to hide
This is BS. If you have a camera and there is something going on in front of you, you have the right to film it. Otherwise they should outlaw cameras. Which may be next on their list.
Nonsense why would tax dollars go for body cameras if that were not the case
