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.
B******t, its already settled law
That wont hold up
Good
then…. looks like some federal court judges need be removed from their stations and replaced with those who aren’t braindead.
Law enforcement and politician’s have to be able to cover up their corrupt behaviour. The cell phone camera is like a fly in the ointment to them so what do the politician’s do? Take away the eye witness (The camera)!
time to get rid of the federal court
So you think people aren’t gonna do it anyway, so that’s their way of saying to us that you can’t prove we did anything wrong.
Plan stupid
SCOTUS will overturn 9-0.
B******t
