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.
This person need to get layed.
Wrong again assholes you work for me… and I vid!!!
This is Democrats attacking freedoms and if they get control of your healthcare you will lose everything!
We have the right to film as long as we don’t interfere.
Bs
Ya we do..its american we can do anything in case you missed it
That will be overturned soon
With all the things this imbecile does not understand why would one expect her to understand what “PUBLIC ” means ! Somehow they believe they have a right to a double standard of not having their crimes recorded ?
F**e
Federal judges need to have another look at the Constitution. Only by shedding light, i.e., photos, videos, etc., can we put politicians’ full stupidity and corruption on display. Bernard, NJ, had a Federal ruling violating the first amendment. Make no mistake about it. Look at what’s going on in this country. We are under attack from within, while most of us think it’s just politics as usual. Wake up people, before it’s too late!
