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.

The federal court doesn’t rule the land
The court can rule whatever it wants, but making it happen is a different story!
If there is a revolution..they will call in the EU cops and the New World Order will begin…We are now a 3rd world country
They are afraid they will get caught doing something that will get them in big trouble and if it is filmed they can’t lie out of it like they usually do.
