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.
ONCE AGAIN THERE GOES OUR FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHTS AGAIN TAKEN BY SOME LIBERAL ASSFLAP COURT IN MISSOURI. SCREW IT KEEP FILMING PEOPLE LET’S TAKE THIS ALL THE WAY TO THE SUPREME COURT !
What bs
The right to record is slippery ground. Can the recorder person be held liable if that recording has audio of a sensitive matter? What if the officer is recording an interview with a criminal assault victim? What if that person’s image was released on social media? Is the victims rights then forfeit because the recorder rights trump the victim right? What if an informant was seen in police recording? If that informant is found out and killed because of video, is the recorder then responsible for the death? If an Officer is under cover and the video recorder outs the officer without the officer realizing it and is killed, is the recorder at fault?
Todd, they already have control. this is not just the Dems. this is the one’s that are globalists. our Government has been taken over by a global government bent on stealing the wealth of America. America is the last country with gun owners. thats why we are still as free as we are. they know it will be all out war. so, they have taken over colleges to turn the young people. it has worked perfectly. Stallen,$#%&!@* Mou. they all did it the same way. if they get the guns, we are dead.
If people are observing malicious destruction, they have every right to film it and provide that info to authorities.
Screw you! I’ll video or photograph anything I like in public and shove your corrupt left agenda up your libtard ass! THIS IS AMERICA!!!!!
Yeah like we are going to listen! Ha ha ha!

All Public Servants, who draw a check from the U.S. Treasury, should be Mandated to wear a “Body Cam” from the moment they wake up, until they go to Bed. This inclides all Lawmakers in W.D.C. and Mayors, Sheriffs, Judges, etc… This Mandate should be made into Law, ALL Across the Nation, Puerto Yico and Guam. No TRYING to fight it. Wear the Body Cam, or step down OUT of GOVERNMENT Completely, and put on a Do Not Rehire, OR RE ELECT LIST. WE, THE PEOPLE PAY FOR THEM, and they should Comply, or get released from the payroll, no PENSION, No Health care, No Vacation time to draw from. Cut loose COMPLETELY.
This will obviously cut down on the need for Special Investigations, or any need to Probe into their business dealings. Effective Immediately. Like and Share IF you agree that this way, we have FULL TRANSPARENCY, and ACCOUNTABILITY ON our Lawmakers that seem to be spending more time TRYING to get their ENEMIES fired, or worse, INSTEAD of Doing the jobs that they were positioned for.
